  • Golfer Paige Spiranac says she would be "thriving" if she were inside the NBA bubble
  • The social media influencer thinks players may have an "unspoken code" for female visitors entering the NBA bubble
  • But Spiranac believes they wouldn't keep quiet if someone broke COVID-19 pandemic protocols such as wearing masks

Golfer and social media personality Paige Spiranac has suggested that there might be an “unspoken code” in the NBA bubble for players who want to invite female company into their hotel rooms.

Spiranac became a professional golfer in 2015. While still a rising golf talent, Spiranac also ventured into social media and found success as an influencer.

Since the lockdown, the 27-year-old has been vocal about her thoughts on certain issues on social media. And in a recent episode of her own podcast “Playing A Round,” Spiranac talked about the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida, where players have been having mini-training camps before the season resumes on July 30.

According to Spiranac, had she been one of the athletes staying inside the closed Disney World campus, she would have “thrived.”

“I would be thriving. I would have no contact with anyone from the outside world. I could stay in my little hotel. It would be great,” Spiranac said.

But staying inside the NBA bubble would mean having to abide by the strict guidelines set up to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. Several have reportedly already broken rules as multiple tips had been submitted to NBA’s “snitch hotline,” according to The Athletic.

But with a female Instagram model claiming to have gotten an invitation to enter the bubble, Spiranac speculated that rule-breakers may have an “unspoken code” when it comes to female company.

Spiranac thinks that players would not “snitch” when one of them sneaks a woman in, provided they followed pandemic protocols like wearing a mask and social distancing.

“Do you think it’s different though when it comes to p—y? Like as an unspoken p—y code where if you have a girl there, you don’t say anything, but it’s like if you don’t wear a mask, free-for-all,” Spiranac pondered.

Ultimately, Spiranac concluded that it will all boil down to the question: “To snitch or not to snitch?”

“If I didn’t like them, I would snitch all day long. If I don’t like you, I’m not going to give you the respect to text you, I’m going to tell on you,” she speculated.

According to a screenshot from the NBA Bubble Life account, Anna Mya, who boasts 15,000 Instagram followers, claimed she had been invited to the bubble by an anonymous NBA player. Mya said she found herself in trouble for apparently snitching but insisted that she had no idea about any protocol until she got invited.
