It’s time for Paul Pierce to pay up on a ridiculous bet. Before game 2 of the Knicks-Celtics series, Pierce promised to walk 15 miles from his home to the FS1 studios in Los Angeles barefoot if the Celtics lost the game.
“If the Celtics lose [Game 2], I promise you, I’m walking here tomorrow… In my robe, no shoes on, bare feet… Put the house on this game… You got a better chance at walking out of this studio and seeing a dinosaur [than a Celtics L]
“If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I’m walking here tomorrow, 15 miles! In my robe, no shoes on, barefoot… Put the house on this game!”@paulpierce34 just put some high-stakes on this Celtics/Knicks game tonight 😰 pic.twitter.com/pCybIfAxq6

Unfortunately for Pierce, the Celtics suffered an embarrassing come-from-behind loss to the Knicks, and now fans want him to honor his bet.

Pierce reacted to losing his wild bet on Twitter, and it appears that he may actually do the 15-mile walk, which would take him two hours to finish.
