Underdog betting fans shouldn’t write off this betting line, however, as nothing has been confirmed as of yet by the NBA Champion.
According to Portnoy, they reached out to Pierce but nothing seems to have been solidified. In addition, following the announcement of Pierce and ESPN parting ways, Peirce released a cryptic tweet suggesting he has plans for the future already in the works.

Since Portnoy’s video explaining his interest in Pierce joining Barstool Sports came after Pierce's initial tweet, it is possible that there is another media outlet The Truth has in mind.
NBA betting fans should look at the +900 odds on NBA TV for example, which could be a big win for some lucky betting fans. Pierce was a part of NBA Countdown and The Jump, two NBA-focused programs that covered games and league news.
NBA TV runs several programs similar in structure such as Game Time, Inside Stuff, and Inside The NBA. In addition, several former NBA players work for NBA TV including Charles Barkly, Grant Hill, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith to name a few.
Pierce would be right at home on NBA TV, so looking at the longshot odds at USA online sportsbooks may be the best bet.
