Paul Pierce became a trending topic on social media Wednesday for a surprising reason.
Shannon Sharpe drew tons of attention after audio of him having sex was streamed on his Instagram Live channel. The video from Sharpe made many people think of Pierce.
Pierce had been fired by ESPN in 2021 after live-streaming a video of him and some friends playing cards, with exotic dancers in the background.
Sharpe’s actions had people thinking of Pierce.

ESPN fired Pierce swiftly after his video was streamed. Will the network treat Sharpe similarly? Keep in mind he’s a much newer employee who recently signed a multi-year deal with them.
