    Paul Pierce, a former legend of the Celtics, was so sure of his team’s success in Game 2 against the Knicks, he promised to walk to work barefoot “in my robe” if they lost consecutive games in the second-round series.

    He confidently stated, “If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I promise you, I am walking here tomorrow,” during an FS1 show on Wednesday. “I guarantee this one. Put your bets on this game.”

    That didn’t turn out so great. The Celtics blew a 20-point lead in Game 2, as they did in Game 1, and lost 91-90.

    Pierce seemed to follow through on his pledge on Thursday, setting out before dawn for what he claimed was a 20.2-mile journey to his workplace in the Los Angeles area. He shared updates on Instagram Live. While it was uncertain if he went barefoot, he was indeed wearing a bathrobe.

    “All right, time for me to get to steppin’,” he said after 5 a.m. Pacific time, calling himself a “man of my word.”

    “I cant believe the Celtics got me out here like this dog,” he said in a later update. “I’m really walking out here like this.”

    A little before 9 a.m., Pierce posted another Live of a couple hecklers on the sidewalk.

    “You lost that bet, huh?” one of them said.

    Pierce took it all in stride, having some fun with them. He said he was about halfway at that point.
