In the first game of the 2008 NBA Finale, Paul Pierce lost 22 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 98-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Apparently, he also dropped two others elsewhere.
On the Wednesday edition of ESPN NBA CountdownPierce admitted he needed a wheelchair in the third quarter of the match due to an incident in a bathroom.
ESPN @espn
"I just had to go to the bathroom."
@ paulpierce34 admits that the only reason he left the 2008 wheelchair final was to go to the bathroom https://t.co/oIUXgzDzT7
Here is a transcription of the blow by blow:
Michelle Beadle: Paul here, 11 years ago today, was deported for reasons that he will keep for himself.
Pierce: I have a confession to make: I just had to go to the bathroom.
Jalen Rose: Number one or number two?
Pierce: I had to go to the bathroom.
Chauncey Billups: Why did you need a wheelchair to go to the bathroom?
Beadle, almost doubled with laughter: C & # 39; was so bad.
Pierce: Something fell, I had to go to the bathroom.
Pink: You have streak?
Pierce: * Chuckles and a head *
This was perhaps the 25 best seconds of the history of sports studio television.
There was long-time rumors Pierce's "wheelchair game", in which he was swept away by his teammates and then taken to the locker room after apparently suffering a leg injury, had more to do with higher problems than the leg.
However, these had all been unconfirmed. Until now.
Congratulations to Pierce for confirming one of the greatest NBA conspiracy theories. He could have kept the truth for himself forever. He could have let us think that he was really hurt and let the rumors remain unconfirmed.
Instead, he looked at the camera and gave us gold on television.
And after? Does Michael Jordan admit to having a hangover during the flu match? The Spurs admitted to voluntarily turning off their air conditioning during the NBA Finals 2014 to sabotage LeBron James? The frozen envelope?
If you need me, I will wear my aluminum foil hat somewhere in waiting for the latest news.
