After the Knicks were eliminated from the playoffs, Pierce posted a video on Xformerly known as Twitter.
The clip showed Pierce stepping on a new Jalen Brunson jersey.
Pierce said in the video, “What do you say, bro? What do you say? You guys still talking? Get out of here.”
He added two laughing and three “quiet” emojis in the caption.
Many fans in the comments criticized Pierce for his performance.
“You’re too old to do all this, uncle,” one of them commented.
“This is unnecessary for Paul,” said another.
“This is so unnecessary,” wrote a third.
The 2008 NBA champion also sent a message to Knicks fans: “You Knick fans are delusional and get over it, your season is over. Have a good year.”
During the first round of the NBA playoffs, Pierced bet Knicks fans that they would buy a Brunson jersey if New York beat the Philadelphia 76ers.
Pierce kept his word and purchased the jersey after the Knicks beat the 76ers in six games.
But there were no conditions on what he would do with the shirt afterwards.
In Game 7, Brunson left in the second half with a broken hand.
Knicks star OG Anunoby returned to the starting lineup but only played five minutes due to a hamstring strain.
