I guess he got injured but got back to playing really soon after.

Paul Pierce basically faked an injury. He got carried off the court and then rolled to the locker room in a wheelchair. Then like 5 minutes later he came out
running.

I seriously think that when he gets around black folks, he forgets that he's white.

I highly doubt he had any input in the monologue. He just sang it like he was told.

They had to edit the comment out of the actual ESPYS because it was too racist, LMAO.
Though I'm sure if this gets big in the media he'll claim he didn't write it and had no idea what it meant, and basically give us a sob story. |

But wouldn't the lyrics be looked over before he performs it? Wouldn't they have caught that?

Saw this on ONTDnsyncfans
Arash Markazi of SI.com notes that ESPYs host Justin Timberlake "was teasing Paul Pierce about his 'injured' knee in Game 1 of the NBA Finals during his opening monologue. In describing how quickly Pierce came back after being taken off on a wheelchair, Timberlake joked that Pierce was quickly back on the court, 'shucking and jiving.' The comment, which was cut out of the broadcast that aired Sunday night, was met with silence from the crowd when the show taped on Wednesday before Timberlake transitioned into his next joke." Apparently some of the suits at ESPN thought the joke was too racial in nature to air. If the joke was racist, how did it get by dozens of ESPYs writers? And we also know that if a black, or even latino host had said the same thing, everyone probably would've laughed and it would've been part of the promo highlight package for the show. I'm not saying it wasn't racist, just food for thought. http://globalgrind.com/globalview/Depart.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fcontent%2f39336%2fJustin-Timberlakes-Racist-Joke-Cut-From-ESPYs&cid=39336 |

Why would they catch it if they wrote it?
And it's possible be didn't realize how racist it was. I had never heard the term until JJB. |

That's not exactly food for thought more than it's just true. I mean, just because I love Justin it doesn't mean I can't admit when he does or says some crazy shit. I'm never the blind defender but... hell, maybe he DIDN'T know. But yeah, I just think Justin doesn't understand that just because he surely knows that he's not a racist and that he loves black folks and lots of black folks love him too... he can NOT say and do everything he wants to do. It's the ESPY awards and other people wrote that
shit for him. He can't just do everything folks want him to do. He needs to be more alert and get that personal filter of his going.
