Move over, Jay Williams, we have another crazy scenario in which a former player has an insane idea to get basketball players back on the court.
Jay Williams wants the rest of the NBA season to play on cruise ships, but Paul Pierce decided to expand on that and state the government should let the National Basketball Association use Area 51.
“I’m not sure. I mean, it is going to be docked? Is it going to be out in the sea? Barely offshore?” Pierce said. “‘Cause me, I personally always get seasick. I don’t know how, does weather play a part in all this? You got to ask yourself some of these questions. I mean what coast are we playing off of? I mean, is it tornado, hurricane season? Is the court outdoor, indoor? So many questions got to be asked, I’m not so sure.
“Just take it to Vegas. Take it to one of the hotels. I think that would be great. Maybe ask the government if we can use Area 51, who knows,” Pierce joked. “There’s other alternatives instead of the ocean.”
If you’re not aware, Area 51 is a Air Force Base that has been widely suspected of having evidence that Aliens exist. Government officials had never publicly acknowledged the existence of the facility.
Pierce might be indulging in the same type of sticky-icky as Jay Williams.
