NBA legend Paul Pierce stomps on Jalen Brunson jersey in bizarre video after Knicks playoff exit

Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce celebrated the New York Knicks' demise by stomping on a Jalen Brunson jersey in a bizarre video.

The Knicks were dumped out of the NBA playoffs on Sunday night following a Game 7 defeat against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

It proved a disappointing evening for Tom Thibodeau's men, who were left without star man Brunson in the fourth quarter after he suffered a fractured hand, before they went on to lose 130-109.

The Pacers instead move on to face the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, and Pierce couldn't resist poking fun at the Knicks after their exit.

In a strange clip, the NBA Hall of Famer can be seen stomping on a Brunson jersey while angrily saying: 'What? What you say homie? Y'all talking? Y'all still talking?

'Y'all still talking huh? Can't believe you. What'd you say? Y'all still talking? Get out of here.'

Pierce shared the video on X along with three hush and as many laughing emojis.

Indiana was ruthless from the start of Sunday's decider at Madison Square Garden, with Tyrese Haliburton's devastating shooting powering them into the Conference Finals.

Replays appeared to show Brunson suffered the injury to his thumb as he tried to knock the ball out of Haliburton's hand while he jumped to shoot.

It was the latest in a long line of injuries for the depleted Knicks - who also had OG Anunoby and Josh Hart battling problems while Mitchell Robinson, Bojan Bogdanovic and Julius Randle were all out.

Haliburton scored 26 points as the Pacers rode one of the most sensational first halves in Game 7 history that took the sting out of a fervent home crowd.

The defeat marks a bitter end to an otherwise strong season for New York and Brunson, who finished fifth in the MVP voting and amassed an average of 32.4 points across his 13 playoff games.

'I would say there's pros and cons to how I played,' he said after Sunday's loss in an assessment of his season. 

'The pros, obviously, are I played well individually at some points in the playoffs. The cons are that I didn't play well enough to help my team move forward.

'You can say I got hurt in Game 7, I wasn't playing well in Game 7. We had a 2-0 and a 3-2 lead.

'It's just hard to look at things individually when you don't help your team.'
