Paul Pierce Would Skip NBA Games To Play Poker

Paul Pierce just finished participating in the 2014 World Series of Poker $10 Million Tournament in Las Vegas. Despite rocking his lucky Red Sox (booo!) hat and a baller Incredible Hulk Tee, the new Washington Wizards small forward was eliminated from contention.

Once Pierce was eliminated from the $10 Milli running, he agreed to sign with the Washington Wizards for...$10 million. But before his elimination he had a very interesting thing to say when asked what would happen if he made it to the final table.

The best part of this interview is that Pierce (jokingly?) says he will ask "coach" (he didn't have an actual team at the time) for time off if he makes it to the final table in November.

After his elimination, Pierce will luckily not have to see #WittmanFace since his final table situation is not happening.
