Celtics legend Paul Pierce walked 20 miles to Fox studio after bold prediction goes horribly wrong

The New York Knicks came back from 20 points down in back-to-back games to go up 2-0 against the Boston Celtics. Jayson Tatum only scored 13 points on the night and came up short in the final seconds of the game.

Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce will be getting his steps in after his Game 2 Celtics-Knicks prediction ended terribly for him. 

The Celtics blew a 20-point lead in Game 1, falling to the Knicks in overtime in Boston. But Pierce, sticking with his former squad, made a bold prediction before Game 2's tipoff.

And Pierce appeared to make good on his promise, appearing on Instagram Live to capture himself walking to the studio, robe and all. 

"This is crazy, dog. I can’t believe this. C’s got me out here like this," Pierce said. "I’m sweating. So, I’m about four miles in right now. So, I think I got another 16 miles?"
