This is the singular playbook for every public figure who’s accidentally publicized private messages, found shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or masturbated on a New York Times all-hands Zoom meeting.

Paul Pierce chose to write his own glitter-speckled playbook over the weekend, unlike his former teammate and Celtics betrayer Ray Allen, who balled up in the fetal position and played the “hacked” card for the federal crime of being horny online.

In review: Pierce filled his Saturday night with a game of poker with the fellas, an in-home haircut, and a booze fest with several multi-national strippers who twerked on a livestream to his 858,000 Instagram followers.
