Uma das maiores lendas do Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce precisou enfrentar um desafio inusitado nesta semana: caminhar cerca de 30 quilômetros descalço até seu local de trabalho, o estúdio da ESPN, em Los Angeles. O ex-jogador perdeu uma aposta com um colega de bancada após apostar na vitória do seu ex-time na série contra o Cleveland Cavaliers, nos playoffs da NBA.

Pierce, campeão da NBA em 2008 e ídolo da torcida de Boston, confiava em uma classificação tranquila dos Celtics. No entanto, a derrota no segundo jogo da série obrigou o ex-ala a cumprir o desafio firmado ao vivo durante o programa “NBA Countdown”.
Veja a promessa:
O trajeto descalço, que durou mais de cinco horas, foi registrado em vídeo e compartilhado nas redes sociais da emissora. Em tom bem-humorado, Pierce afirmou que a experiência foi “dolorosa, mas merecida”.
Ele ainda brincou dizendo que essa seria a última vez que apostaria contra LeBron James — ainda que o astro não jogue mais pelos Cavaliers, o comentário gerou risadas entre os colegas de programa.

Felipe Melo aponta time do Brasil dando vexame hoje: “Se apequena”
Felipe Melo é ex-jogador de futebol - Marcelo Gonçalves / Fluminense F.C. Felipe Melo não costuma ter papas na língua e, desta vez, não foi diferente. O ex-volante esperava uma outra postura do Flamengo diante do Central Córdoba, quarta-feira, pela Libertadores. Em Buenos Aires, o Rubro-Negro ficou no 1 a 1 com os argentinos e está em uma situação bastante incômoda no torneio continental. Considerada uma das favoritas ao título, a equipe comandada por Filipe Luís não mostrou em campo a diferença técnica entre os elencos. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Não vou entender jamais um resultado desse do Flamengo contra um time pequeno comparado à dimensão que é o Flamengo. Diante de um adversário minúsculo da Argentina, deixar os caras propor jogo e pressionar. Isso é se apequenar demais“, disparou Felipe Melo. “Eu tenho certeza de que vai se classificar e brigar […]

Astros place starter Hayden Wesneski on IL with right elbow discomfort
HOUSTON — After an ambiguous three weeks that included a dip in Hayden Wesneski’s velocity, skipping his turn in the Houston Astros’ rotation and, on Tuesday, a 40-pitch, four-run first inning, the team placed Wesneski on the injured list with what it described as “right elbow discomfort.”Wesneski’s IL stint is backdated to May 7, the day after he yielded four runs across a difficult four-inning start against the Milwaukee Brewers. Afterward, Wesneski said he felt physically good.AdvertisementWesneski has pitched just twice since April 25, a start in which the velocity dipped on his entire arsenal. Astros manager Joe Espada insisted numerous times during the 11-day layoff that Wesneski was healthy.Acquired as part of the Kyle Tucker trade this winter, Wesneski posted a 4.50 ERA across his first six starts as an Astro.(Photo: Kyle Rivas / Getty Images)
Browns GM Andrew Berry: ‘Increasingly unlikely’ that we re-sign RB Nick Chubb
<!--> The Cleveland Browns took two running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft, those being Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins (pick No. 36) and Tennessee's Dylan Sampson (pick No. 126), and have soon-to-be fourth-year back Jerome Ford. Are veteran running back Nick Chubb's days with the Browns over?"I wouldn't rule anything out, but I would say that it's probably increasingly unlikely," Browns general manager Andrew Berry said about re-signing Chubb, who remains a free agent, in an interview with 92.3 The Fan on Friday morning. "We do have two young guys that we liked. We think Jerome plays a role. It's basically kind of maybe seeing how the roles shake out in the running back room."You're never going to rule out someone as near and dear to our heart as Nick, and I would expect him to take another step [with […]
Tom Thibodeau hopes Nova Knicks can be ‘forgiven for their sins’ by new Pope
<!--> The New York Knicks are two wins away from punching their ticket to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000 after stealing two games from the Boston Celtics on the road. Some might say that's because the Knicks matchup well with the Celtics this season, but others might call it destiny — or better yet, divine intervention.That's especially true now that there's an indirect correlation between the Knicks and the new Pope. Pope Leo XIV, the first-ever Pope from the United States, is an alumnus of Villanova University, the same university that "Nova Knicks" stars Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges went to and played basketball at.Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was asked if the Pope's Villanova connection could help his team in any capacity, and the typically-stern coach gave an answer that met the […]
