Pierce was one of the "Big Three," along with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen when the Boston Celtics won the NBA championship in 2008 in a six-game series against Kobe Bryant and the LA Lakers.

The 46-year-old was fired from ESPN after an Instagram live video showed him engaging in conduct that didn’t align with Disney's policies. Disney is ESPN’s parent company.

Pierce now freely lives by his own rules and does a podcast with former teammate and fellow Hall of Famer, Kevin Garnett, called "Ticket & The Truth." The podcast has nearly 905,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Pierce is a California native and attended Inglewood High School. He played for three seasons at the University of Kansas before he was selected 10th overall in the 1998 NBA Draft.
