Previously on That NBA Lottery Pick, we mentioned that Paul Pierce and Michael Beasley are overseas in China playing in the International Basketball Championships.

While playing in Shuangyashan, Heilongjiang province… Pierce and Beasley both suffered asthma attacks due to large amounts of fans smoking cigarettes inside the stadium. After the game, things got even more shocking when Beasley fell to the floor in his hotel and started to roll around in obvious pain, scaring everyone around half-to-death. At that point, there was no choice but to dial 120 (the number for an ambulance in China) and take him to the hospital.
Hopefully, Michael Beasley is okay because that sounded like a pretty scary incident but I'm not so sure if Pierce has asthma problems since this was his response on Facebook.
