Paul Pierce<\/a> lost his TV gig while he was on vacation. Then he got what he claimed was a \u2018sign\u2019 from God.<\/p>\n

On Monday, The Athletic\u2019s Andrew Marchand reported<\/a> that Fox Sports 1<\/a> had canceled three of its shows. That included \u201cSpeak,\u201d on which Pierce served as a co-host. Marchard reports that the Boston Celtics<\/a> legend\u2019s show was among those that struggled to find audience.<\/p>\n

Hours after the news broke, Pierce posted a video from the pool to his Instagram story<\/a>. The Hall of Famer started by thanking those who watched the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, God is good, yo. God is good,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cI appreciate all of you supporting me in the past year with the show. Just know, it\u2019s all love. Love y\u2019all, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly after, Pierce posted another video reacting to what he called a \u201csign\u201d from God.<\/p>\n

What had been a calm summer day had turned windy, with a rainbow appearing in the sky.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust asked God to give me a sign,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cLook what happened. Wind started blowing. It was sunny as hell out here. I told God, \u2018Give me a sign.\u2019 Bro, what\u2019s next?\u2019 God is so real. The wind started blowing, then I look up, it\u2019s a rainbow. I can\u2019t make this up. God is real.”<\/p>\n

Pierce was a 10-time All-Star during his 19 seasons in the NBA. Drafted No. 10 overall by the Celtics in 1998, Pierce played 15 seasons in Boston, winning a championship in 2008. Pierce retired from the NBA in 2017 and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021.<\/p>\n

After his playing career ended, Pierce made the leap into broadcasting. Pierce previously worked for ESPN from 2017 until 2021. He eventually returned to broadcasting in 2024 when he joined FS1.<\/p>\n
