WATCH: Hes black he can say it Paul Pierce drops N-bomb on live TV leaving Skip B

Paul Pierce, a former NBA player and Boston Celtics legend, has sparked controversy on the Skip Bayless show, Undisputed when he used the N-word during a live appearance. 

The incident generated widespread outrage and disappointment on social media, with viewers expressing shock and condemnation.

Pierce’s use of the offensive term was unfortunately directed at co-host Skip Bayless, who reacted with a noticeable sigh. The incident had added to a long list of controversies that have surrounded Pierce, which included a live stream from last season where he appeared intoxicated and an Instagram Live video that led to his dismissal from ESPN.

Look at this n***a, Key.

The recurrence of such incidents has tarnished his reputation and raised concerns about his conduct. Although he remains a prominent figure in the basketball world, his actions have overshadowed his achievements on the court, which has begun to leave many to question his suitability as a public figure and commentator.

However, as Paul Pierce faces criticism and scrutiny, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of accountability and responsibility in an industry as judgmental as the media industry. Fans and viewers expect more from public figures like Pierce to live up to their roles as model figures.

As expected, social media was on fire after a video from a recent episode of Undisputed surfaced showing Celtics legend Paul Pierce using the “N-word.” This is against the backdrop of his past actions that have also led to him being called out on social media by angry fans. 

Popular social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) saw the brunt of the fiery reactions.

He is black, he can say it.

Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here’s what fans have to say:

While there are mixed reactions on social media concerning the incident, one thing remains Pierce should have had a bit of restraint while on live TV. As someone of his stature has a large following and should be a better model to the upcoming young fans.
