Paul Pierce earned nearly $200 million in salary during his 19-year NBA career, and it’s a good thing, because his poker career hasn’t taken off just yet.
The Boston Celtics legend recently played in the PokerStars Players Championship and appeared to have a great time, even busting out some dance moves after landing pocket queens.
But Pierce ultimately was sent packing by Mustapha Kanit, who poked fun at the former NBA All-Star amid his elimination.
“Who’s The Truth now?,” Kanit joked.
Don’t worry, though. Pierce isn’t hanging his head over the early exit.
“I ain’t heartbroken,” Pierce told PokerStars.com. “I had fun!”
We’d say Pierce, who now works as an analyst for ESPN, should stick to basketball, but hey, he’s got some money to spare. Why not live a little?
