Basketball Hall of Famer Paul Pierce has one simple question about his removal from ESPN: "What did I do wrong?" It has been around two years since ESPN decided to fire Pierce shortly after he posted an Instagram Live video that showed dancers as he consumed alcohol and smoked.

However, Pierce still appears to believe he was unjustly terminated. During a recent appearance on the "I Am Athlete" podcast, the Boston Celtics legend said the content of the video was not egregious enough for him to lose his job.

I got fired for having some entertainment," Pierce asked. "I’m playing cards, [it’s] my boy’s birthday, there’s girls dancing, and we’re blowing some trees.

What did I do wrong?"
