Newly minted Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Paul Pierce got his credit for being an all-time great with his induction earlier this year. However, Pierce's career is marked by a few peculiar instances, none more so than the infamous wheelchair incident during the 2008 NBA Finals.
While talking to The Athletic’s Michelle Beadle, Pierce insisted he didn't sh** himself during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. “I can’t believe people believe … so listen to this, I want fans to hear this,” Pierce said, via The Athletic. “If you poop your pants, does it make sense to sit down and mush it in a wheelchair? No. I would walk back there straight to the bathroom. Why would I need a wheelchair if I pooped my pants? You don’t sit down on your poop, right?”
We may never know the truth behind this story, but it's interesting how the story remains a topic of discussion nearly 15 years later.
