Paul Pierce is saying the quiet part out loud.

When it comes to the NBA and NFL, many of the rosters are filled with African-American or Black players. However, as we have seen in many drafts, a number of them tend to date outside of their race.

That number has seemingly increased over the years.

One of the more prominent and current players is Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Anna Congdon and Saquon Barkley have been together since 2017 and share two kids.

The NFL star announced the couple’s engagement in February 2025.

“I have an amazing fiancée,” he said. “I can’t be the athlete I am and have the success I have without the help of her.”

 

The backlash towards him stems from him not only dating white women but also knowing that she has some old racist tweets in her past.

For former NBA player Paul Pierce, the reason that NBA players date outside their race is quite clear.

“Why do you feel like men, especially NBA players, get with white women? Is it because they’re ‘easy?’” Co-host Azar Farideh asked.

Paul Pierce responded with: “I honestly think that maybe they appreciate maybe more. And they apologize more,” he said while laughing.

Pierce added, “They don’t mind being held accountable.”

 

Pierce made it clear that he wasn’t sure, while the female host told viewers that all the Celtics legend does is date Black women.

Paul Pierce talks about many things, but not many may know that he was once a married man.

Not many fans would’ve guessed that since he was fired from ESPN for recording himself around strippers on Instagram Live a few years ago.

Pierce married his longtime girlfriend, Julie Landrum, with whom he has three children, in 2010.

However, it seems they’re no longer together, as he officially stated their apparent breakup in 2023.

“I’m single what’s up,” he wrote in 2023 on X.

Pierce’s NBA career came to an end on April 30, 2017.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
