The video showed Pierce in the company of exotic dancers, with some throwing poker chips at the women. After news broke of the reported parting of ways, Pierce seemed to address it in a weird way via his Twitter page:

This is certainly a strange scenario, but it seems Pierce’s days as an ESPN NBA analyst are over.
You can see the video Pierce posted on Instagram Live here. Obviously, it contains some very NSFW content.
