Paul Pierce OUT at ESPN After IG Session With Strippers (Video)

Paul Pierce was axed from ESPN just days after the former NBA star posted a racy twerk session with some scantily clad women on Instagram.

Pierce spent the past 3 and a half years with the network, appearing on "NBA Countdown" and "The Jump."

The ex-Celtics forward seemingly addressed the split on Twitter, saying, "Big Things coming soon stay tuned make sure u smile #Truthshallsetufree"

Pierce also shared a 4-second video with the message ... showing himself laughing and smiling.
