"There might be a cautionary tale for some of the NBA players hellbent to play overseas when they learn about the Chinese trip of Paul Pierce and Michael Beasley for the recent International Basketball Cup.

According to the blog NiuBBall.com, Pierce and Beasley both required treatment at a hospital for asthma attacks that were attributed to the large number of Chinese fans who smoke inside the arena.

"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," NiuBBall.com reports. "At that point, there was no choice but to dial 120 (the number for an ambulance in China) and take him to the hospital.""
