"That's Game, LeBron James!": Paul Pierce Shamelessly Disrespects LeBron James After Loss vs Celtics

LeBron James and the Lakers may not be the best team in the league, but they do seem to be coming along. At the end of the day, even if the Celtics were without Robert Williams, they are a tough team to play. And yet, the Lakers had several chances to win this one.

With about 3 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, the Purple and Gold had an 11-point lead. While being tied with seconds to go in regulation, they had the final shot.

But of course, they spurned it all away in the end, losing 122-118.

This has opened the door for plenty of Celtics supporters to laugh pretty loudly in the ear of the King. And as Rachel Nichols exposed, Paul Pierce was clearly one of them.

Paul Pierce has never been the biggest fan of LeBron James, regardless of where he may be playing. So, whenever he does lose, it is probably a very happy moment for the former Celtics man.

But, when the King loses against his Boston Celtics… well, you get reactions such as this one.

It’s easy to tell that Rachel Nichols is enjoying recording it all as it goes down. But many may be asking themselves, where in the world she has been working since her exit from the offices of ESPN?

And well, there is a rather simple answer to that.

Rachel Nichols is indeed working with another entity right now

Rachel Nichols was shamelessly made a scapegoat by ESPN only for them to further their agenda of giving up her place to a younger woman of color.

A good motive, but apparently one of the best personalities within ESPN, who just happened to be female, was the only person who could have possibly, logically backed out.

And the company did it so brilliantly that backlash against Rachel Nichols persisted for quite some time.

However, things have changed now. Fans have been hoping for a long time to see Nichols again.

Fortunately, there is good news here, as Nichols is indeed still a reporter, now working as one for Showtime Sports.

And the way she is going, it doesn’t seem like she’ll be stopping any time soon.
