Former KU star Paul Pierce raised eyebrows in the basketball world after Game 2 of the NBA Finals when he said Kevin Durant might be the best player in the world.
Yeah, better than LeBron James.
When Pierce made that claim on ESPN, Michele Beadle asked what he was drinking. Pierce responded that it was “Truth Juice,” which was a clever play off his nickname “The Truth.”
Viewers might be getting a full dose of “Truth Juice” next season, because a Sports Illustrated story said that ESPN wants to hire Pierce for a full-time gig on “NBA Countdown” and “The Jump” program.
