The New York Knicks are on a charge this season. Having put together some additional pieces in their quest for a championship, the Knicks have emerged as strong contenders in the Eastern Conference. However, not everyone is sold on the Knicks.

Former NBA champion Paul Pierce hilariously compared the Knicks to catfishing Instagram models leaving fans in splits. Paul Pierce was talking to former teammate Kevin Garnett on their podcast, Ticket & The Truth hosted by All The Smoke.

While discussing the New York Knicks, Pierce said this:

Knicks is like a Instagram model. I be on Instagram and I be like, ‘Damn she fine.’ Then you catch ‘em in person and you’re like… ‘this you?’
Paul Pierce said

He added that there are too many filters to what the Knicks are in reality. To this Garnett asked which version of the Knicks is he watching on TV, Pierce said ‘The Instagram model’. Pierce basically alluded that the Knicks will crumble in the playoffs.

By that what Paul Pierce was trying to convey is that in the regular season, everyone is jumping onto the Knicks bandwagon. Everyone is catching the hype watching the New York Knicks win against superior playoff teams. Their recent win against the Cleveland Cavaliers is further proof of that hype. And they are winning despite not having Julius Randle in the lineup.

But Pierce thinks that the New York Knicks will not be the same when the heat of the playoffs comes around. Pierce said that if the same matchup were to happen, he would select the Cavaliers in a best-of-7 series. Unless the Knicks can prove that they are among the best teams in the league.

Fans react to Paul Pierce comparing New York Knicks to Instagram models

Basketball fans wait for some of their former superstars to provide their thoughts on how a certain team or player is doing every season. While most views are taken seriously, this particular reference to catfishing Instagram models left fans in splits. They could not believe the former All-Star’s comparison of the models with the New York Knicks. Pierce was fired from ESPN after a video showed strippers in the background.

Although they understood the true comparison, they could not refrain from commenting on this comparison. As soon as the clip of the comparison went online, fans threw their two cents into the ring. Check some of them below;
