Twitter speculates why Pierce needs 2 phones to record dunk contest
The highlight of the Slam Dunk contest may not have been a dunk.
Instead, the best part of the marquee NBA All-Star Saturday Night event might have been Los Angeles Clippers veteran Paul Pierce sitting courtside holding up two smartphones.

Some funny folks took to Twitter to poke fun at the 39-year-old doubling up on iPhones:

Believe it or not, it's not the first time Pierce has been seen recording footage with a pair of cellphones. He did the same thing years ago as a member of the Boston Celtics when he filmed Nate Robinson running in a pair of Shaquille O'Neal's shoes.
Never change, Paul.
