"If you got ambition" - Paul Pierce advises men to value loyalty over pretty girls
"If you got ambition" - Paul Pierce advises men to value loyalty over pretty girls (Image Source: Getty Images) Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce has always been called The Truth, and now he is proving why. On his podcast this week, with co-host Azar Farideh beside him, he gave men advice that made people stop and think. He did not talk about basketball. He discussed relationships, choices, and life. His comments about women, ambition, and loyalty immediately became much discussed online and became one of the most discussed events of the day. Paul Pierce shares life advice with co-host Azar Farideh on podcast On Tuesday, August 19, Paul Pierce joined his co-host Azar Farideh on the new episode of Truth After Dark. The show streamed online, and fans everywhere could tune in. At the 21:19 mark, Pierce paused and spoke with a serious face. 'This is what I got to say today, and this has been on my mind,' Pierce said. He told men to stand tall, stay focused, and avoid being distracted. His tone was sharp. His message was simple. 'Chest up, chin out, men. If you got ambition, if you are really grinding, leave these little pretty girls alone.' The clip quickly spread across social media. Fans cut short videos from the podcast and shared them on Instagram and X. Some laughed, some agreed, and some questioned the way he framed women by numbers. Paul Pierce tells how men should value loyalty over looks By the 22:57 mark of the podcast, Paul Pierce gave more details. He told men not to chase women only for looks. He said many look at Instagram and call a woman a nine or a ten. But, in his words, those ratings do not matter in real life. 'Get you a five or a six,' Pierce said. 'Maybe a seven. Someone who is going to put elbow into it. Someone who will be down for you 100 percent. Someone who will fight tooth and nail with you.' The 47-year-old Celtics champion explained that true value comes from women who stay when life gets hard. He said men should not just chase after beauty, but should also seek loyalty, effort, and heart. His honesty, as always, carried the same energy he showed on the court. The comments sparked fast reactions. One fan said: He Right Don't Let These B******Fade You…2 Pac ..Can't Fade Me Other one said: Old niggas tryna gatekeep the pretty women ain't crazy ??

Mangal Lakshmi fame Naman Shaw on Mumbai Rains: I had to change routes twice due to flooding
Mumbai continues to battle severe waterlogging following nearly three days of relentless rainfall, actor Naman Shaw who currently plays the lead role of Adit Saxena in the TV show Mangal Lakshmi reacted to the weather, giving fans a peek into his struggle during downpour. He shares, "Mumbai's monsoon rains are a mixed bag for me - I love the romance of it, but water logging makes commuting a challenge." He continued, "Yesterday, I had to change routes twice due to flooding. Locals have learned to adapt by leaving early, which helps. Luckily, my place is nearby, so I navigated home without much trouble. However, some colleagues faced a tougher time, with a few having to take shelter in a nearby hotel due to unsafe travel conditions. My thoughts are with the daily wage crew members who commute from far-off areas by train. When trains aren't running, it's tough for them. Thankfully, the production team stepped in to provide food and accommodations on set, which was a huge relief." As not everyone is privileged to escape, Naman seemed concerned about the unprivileged. He added, 'The monsoon rains in Mumbai can be quite unpredictable, and it's not uncommon for people to get stranded due to flooding. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Belarus Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension.

The videos of people rescuing drivers and passengers from submerged cars are a testament to the city's spirit of compassion and solidarity." "Many people also open their homes and shops to provide shelter to stray dogs and it's essential to recognize their needs during heavy rainfall," he said. He concluded adding, "The city's response to monsoon challenges is indeed a reflection of its people's resilience and kindness. By looking out for each other, including the most vulnerable, Mumbaikars show that even in difficult times, humanity and compassion can shine through." Naman whose acting journey began with his participation in the talent hunt show India's Best Cinestars Ki Khoj in 2004, is known for featuring in shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kairee — Rishta Khatta Meetha, Kasamh Se.
