Paul Pierce went live with STRIPPERS and lost his ESPN job days later. 💀 Poker, weed, girls dancing. The NBA champion broadcast his friend’s birthday party on Instagram. When ESPN called to investigate and asked him what happened, Pierce says he answered: “You didn’t see it?” The company wanted a public apology. He refused. “I got fired for having some entertainment.” Pierce knew he worked for a Disney-owned network. He still didn’t think the party justified firing him. “I mean, what did I do wrong?”

Mike Tyson doesn’t know who his wife sleeps with and says she can do “whatever she wants.” 😳 “I don’t know who she’s sleeping with, who can she be with.” “Her whole existence is me and the kids.” “As long as I know that, she can do whatever she wants.”

I think we give athletes too much credit as people just because they’re good at their sport. Someone wins a few championships and suddenly fans are defending things they’d never accept from anyone else. I get being attached to a player you grew up watching. But you don’t actually know them, and you don’t have to defend everything they do. If my favorite player treats someone badly, I’m not going to bring up his stats. What would that even prove? He’s good at basketball? We already knew that. At the same time, I can still watch his old games and appreciate how good he was. I don’t feel the need to pretend he had no talent because I’ve lost respect for him personally. Whatever consequences he deserves should depend on what he did, not how much fans love or hate him. I have a similar problem with athletes being punished for where they’re from. I don’t think someone should lose the chance to compete simply because their government broke international law. Most athletes don’t decide what their country does. They spend years training, often from childhood, and then find out their nationality might matter more than whether they’ve earned their place. Of course, an athlete can be involved themselves. If they’ve supported or helped carry out something wrong, that deserves scrutiny. But I want to know what that person actually did before deciding they should be held responsible. I wouldn’t want to answer for every decision my government makes. So I don’t think it’s fair to expect that from someone else just because they represent their country in a sport. For me, it comes down to judging people individually. Being a champion shouldn’t excuse your actions, and being born in a particular country shouldn’t be an accusation.

NBA player Jason Maxiell’s wife thought he’d cheated with 8 women until she found out on TV it was OVER 50. 💀 Jason and Brandi appeared on Iyanla: Fix My Life to discuss their marriage. “How many women have you slept with?” “It’s more than 50.” That was during their marriage alone. His lifetime total, he admitted, was 341. Brandi broke down and tried to leave after learning how many women there had been. In a separate conversation with Iyanla, Jason spoke about the damage his lying and cheating had caused. “I want her to be happy. I can’t lose her.”

Lamar Odom says he slept with over 2,000 WOMEN - and paid for numerous abortions. 💀 In his memoir, the two-time NBA champion admitted most of his sexual encounters had been unprotected.

During his marriage to Khloé Kardashian, he was also hiding his drug use and sex addiction from her. “I’m not ashamed. I’m not proud of that. I got a daughter. Twenty-two years old.”

Gary Payton had two sons FIVE MONTHS apart with two different women - and named BOTH of them Gary. 💀 One became Gary Payton Jr. The other became Gary Payton II.

The baby had to be born. He told the whole story on The Breakfast Club.

NFL star Antonio Cromartie had a VASECTOMY. Then his wife got pregnant with twins. Then she got pregnant AGAIN. 💀 The couple said they thought the procedure had them covered.

And what I have done to him… I take his shoes, I go in the toilet, and I shit inside of them.”

His parents drained $15 MILLION of his NHL money - then he went bankrupt with $50K left. 💀 He’d given his mom power of attorney. They took ~18 high-interest loans against his future pay. Ferrari. 6-carat ring. House. Travel. By 2014: under $50,000 in assets. Over $10 MILLION in debt. “I’d say I picked the wrong people who led me down the wrong path.” Years earlier he’d said about them: “I owe so much to them I’ll never be able to make it up.”

Mike Tyson used a FAKE PENIS to pass drug tests, then switched to his baby’s urine because he was scared of testing PREGNANT. 💀 Testers watched him give the sample. So he used a prosthetic called the “Whizzinator,” filled with someone else’s clean urine. At one point, he used his wife’s. Then she warned him: what if she was pregnant? His solution was to use their kid’s instead. “I put my baby’s urine in it.” “I got scared that the piss might come back pregnant.” He told this story to Jeff Novitzky, the UFC’s anti-doping executive. 😭
