"The first time I brought my xbox out the house." You're not friends if you didn't take the console over their house. Absolute facts.

You prolly dont care but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
Miami at 19 with money and no supervision??.. i truly understand Mike and proud of him for still being in the league working
People keep saying Beasley didn't live up to the hype he is a man that came from poverty to make millions of dollars. At the end of the day not everyone can be a NBA superstar he just didnt have the off the court intangibles. But he is still super successful no matter what
Aspen Tucker preach. Went from walking to the carry out together now he still in the leauge. Sounds like success to me
Aspen Tucker well said bro
thats what im thinking .. hes millionnaide bruh
And THAT~~》is REAL!!! Thought I was the Only one. People corny as Shh😒
Understand that people wish they had that chance.
Michael Beasley is such an amazing personality...and talent tbh. wish he had kept his shit together
It's still not too late. The man is under 30 and still has skill, he can't be a superstar now, but he can be a solid player for his team.
Ovais A as a Knick fan I agree and hoping he can be even more...like a more talented JR
bruh tbh beasley can score when he wants to that mid range is fuckin wet af... he just needs to keep it together on d and then he'll get more minutes
Ovais A he is already a solid player for his team
Derrick rose stole beasley shine n dwade
Am I the only one that got a little emotional watching this? There is nothing better than true loyal friendship.
Joe Craig how about a true loyal gf?
Certified Finest how bout a loyal bf too
Hmu?
Joe Craig lol “loyal” and Kevin Durant
Big Head Noodle Armed M.V.P H U N C H O
So we're talking about "loyalty" now huh?
-Russ
I thought that was Draymond in the thumbnail.
LFG 24 fr
LFG 24 lol me to
It is him!! 😭
More look to me like Kevin Hart
Honestly bro haha
Beasley held the fork and ate with his hand lol
real nigga shit
I don't know too many people who ate shrimp with a fork lol
Ra'Shawn Booker high mind
Im going back n ur right 😂😂😂
Usually people eat crabs and shrimp with their hands
Maybe this is who beasley meant when he said hes your favorite players favorite player
😭😭😭😭😭 Beasley face when he said the bill on YOU!!!
King Lambert612 ..ummmmm..ya
And that is why he said I'm your favorite players favorite player...
Jemel Moore damn I totally get it now 😂
Any male breathing regardless of whatever walk of life he comes from can relate to “he was the first person to make me take the Xbox out the house”
PG county all day #301 salute to KD & Mike Beasley
Man that food looks good
tiger 86 no it doesn't
TheRealNoodles anybody can buy crab legs mitch
Mr SS crab legs at a fancy new york restaurant? Don't think so
+tiger 86 Seriously, that spread is making me drool. Not a video I want to be watching right since I'm hungry.
Fancy restaurants serve so little food and charge so much for it and the worst part is you leave still feeling hungry...you pay more for the "atmosphere" of the place....I'd rather go to a small local joint where the food is just as good, larger portions and for a fraction of the cost.....These guys probably ordered the most expensive platter on the menu so that's why it looks like a lot lol
And they both got drafted 2nd overall in 2007 and 2008 draft
Danang Dwiatma but one was a bust
He not a bust
Thomas Seigle he’s a star in New York. 🔥
Mike Clarke he ain't a bust no more
Thomas Seigle 2nd overall pick n avg like 10 pts is not a bust?
GOOD FOOD...GOOD FRIENDS...GOOD CONVERSATION. Simple things are the BEST things. Go head KD !!!
Beasley murdered those Shrimps!!!!!
Aaron White no s at the end dummy
????? Why im a dummy?
Aaron White The plural form of shrimp is shrimp lol I won't call you a dummy for not knowing that though.
Aaron White I just looked it up and the plural form can be either shrimp or shrimps... huh... learned something new
adfadsfas same here. My bad Aaron. S at the sounds weird.
Sad Beasley had the skills to be a 25 ppg scorer in the league yet he couldn't stay focus he didn't have that Drive Imagine Miami with him and Wade if he lived up to his Potienal
Ronnie Alston Yeah I thought Beasley would dominate when he came in.
Ronnie Alston he was good in Minnesota for the first year
FiRe24710 yeah but I'm saying Beasley for his career should have been to atleast 3-4 all star games at the least
Ronnie Alston nothing sad about living your dream providing for your family some of us as fans only see one side
My instincts keep telling me that D. Wade was on some of that "light skin" bullshit, also, Beasley was a younger good looking dude and that combination with black folks, especially, black men [sometimes] triggers some resentment to varying degrees. Beasley's weed issues did not help, of course.
4:03 KD says "I appreciate this, this is on you" and entire second to think and about it. 4:05 Beasley responds "yeaaaa" 😂😂😂 my favourite part of the interview lol
Real friends 💯
If Beas join the Warriors wit KD its a wrap! Them boys got chemistry and both got game
beasley should be top 5 right now and have a mvp
vito smith and i should be 6'5 gtfo
Im Tylito beasley has the skills to be top 5 and mvp
Im Tylito Yea. Cuz you don’t have the genetics, but Beasley was an actual what if
Young thug did LeBron just get drafted yesterday? tf...
He’s underrated but not mvp but he could have been there and he still can you never know
S/O to Beasley & KD for grabbing the shrimp. Cause I'm tired of them having interviews with a set up like this and nobody touch nothing lol
Damarris Surf & Turf
Damarris Murphy facts alot of players wouldn't have eaten during interview..
they just real
amazing brotherly love.big up to the broski
I ain’t gonna lie Beasley on the warriors would be nasty lol
If David West retires after this season, Beasley should be his replacement on the Warriors.
Tuvwxyz Nope REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAL SHIT!!!!! 💯

Great Product. You gotta be specific

One of the best interviews I ever seen
Beasley is playing AMAZING this year
My2k HighSchool I watch Knicks almost every game and no he ain't
He's got his games
My2k HighSchool He’s usually solid, D Rose was better than he has been and he ain’t get this much love lol
This was very insightful on both of these players
Beasley will always be one of my Favs ballers so humble ❤
Nice sit down, I would love to see more of these in the future.
Your favourite player's favourite player right there....and Kevin Durant
W
Mine too !
Ssssssss
Dubem The first song on here is called Colin Kaepernick, get hip, its Litty.
Listen to Passion, Kush, and Flames 2. by Damon Daxxx #np on #SoundCloud

Omg this was such a heartwarming & personable interview. It’s dope to see them talking about their personal lives coming up together.
These guys are legends in the DMV.
Genuinely good dudes and true friends!! And not to mention both are monsters on that wood!
This is crazy, I can relate to both of them 100%
Finally a interview I enjoyed.
Great interview
I really enjoyed this wish it was longer
Michael Beasley has so much to prove and so much to show! He's as great as they come offensively . He just has to be willing to show it on both ends. I definitely seen improvement on his one on one covers but his team defense needs major improvement. B-Easy has a great opportunity now that KP's down to show what he has, especially in this big market. He just must be willing to take full advantage of this situation on a consistent base. After all, it is a contract year.
Michael Beasley was so good at Kansas State.. I wish he could’ve been that guy
Pretty sure ESPN pays for the dinner...
Jordan pretty sure the millionaires could afford it
yeah they gotta since they set this up
Beasley to the warriors confirmed
Lil Dagga draymond hit beasley in the face 2 nights ago so sure lmao
+Im Tylito that don't mean shit only hate Warriors players really get is from Thunder players, all the other teams show love most of the time.
Lil Dagga kd to knicks confirmed
💯
Brian Lopez the knicks are garbage he ain't going there 😂😂😂
Love how honest they are when the interviewer asks what they'd be doing if it weren't for basketball. I've never heard an athlete or celeb admit that. It's always teacher, chemist, veterinarian, etc.
Wished this was longer 👏🏾
Respect to all and that food looked bomb haha
ESPN & NBA, We NEED MORE OF THIS!
A great friendship.
Beaz to the warriors👏🙏
Stay Strong Mike!!!
tbh BEasy could've been a star he had skills/talent but he wasn't willing to work
hypeforever nah his ass saw that money and start gettin 💨
Plus he was in Miami it’s easy for a young dude in his early 20’s to get distracted
That and getting caught up with the law a lot
He puts in work but would take days off in a way. Isn't 100 percent serious about the game like KD
Not everyone is striving to be Jordan. He might just wanted his bag lol
why did this give tears to a brothers eyes man
Let’s go Beasley it’s time to shine!
Lol Beasley xbox joke was funny as hell
It's real
Great interview & the food sure looks good !!!!!
That was really dope
need more like this from Durant I never knew they was friends
If you can leave your console at someone's, you truly believe that person. Real friendship right there.
Got a new respect for Mike Beasley!!
When he starting explaining the similarities then he said the pro route went completely different he face changed SLIGHTY lmao
I love this kind of stuff
That food looked sooooooo nice!!!
Michael beasly a legend
KD has Bowie shirt!!!! He’s the real thing man!!!!
2:31 you can see the energy drain out Beaslys face lol
Beasley is very underrated👍🏽he is NICR🔥
Great to see OLD friends STILL be friends
Kevin Durant knows how to enjoy life.... its not all basketball... they got a great team in the warriors.. chemistry and good
players that you dont have to worry about others tells him. its no surprise that superstars in the warriors willing to be be less paid and not to take a bigger chuck, so that other players will remain.
Kd just using his fork to touch Deadass everything and Beasley using his fingers . Lol
Good interview
Wow real talk
Beasley was a victim of Coaches not knowing how to use him.
El Porter no, he was a victim of over indulgence in Weed, and bad of court choices.
Lol
They didn't know whether to use him as a small forward or a power forward. They had the same issue with Corliss Williams... When Corliss got to Sacramento he became a GOOD player because his coach knew how to use him. Beasley wasn't used correctly, high or not. Many players get high.
He was a victim of himself, he has grown since than and he will be fine now
Damn, El Porter knows hoops. Aside from Beasley goofiness, coaches tried to play him at 3 when he's actually a slightly undersized 4 man
2 of some of the best ballers in the DMV
thats dope man
Two best players in the NBA right here
Who else thought the interviewer was Draymond Green in the thumbnail
This is the most authentic I've seen KD since his days at Texas
Great video.
allthingsbrooklyn you're gorgeous
Good to watch these two guys in real talk, telling it like it is. Happy to see they made it. B, made me laugh, "What is that?, that is a TatoT, yaw, all your shzzzz is big here."
If Beasley's work ethnic matched his pure talent he could've been on the level of Kd..
🤔Prove me wrong
Respect
REEEEEEAAAL DOPE
Good dudes.
Great way to promote the company at the end. Marketing done at it's finest.
Should’ve did this in the DMV
" I probably be living with my mom or working at the rec center "
The entire interview I kept looking at the food lol .. shit looked hella good
Great interview... I want Beas to succeed so bad... just need him to focus more...
Durant is definitely coming to LA next year now that Beasley and James are there. Quote me.
"When you don't know you poor" that hit home. That was facts.
4:01 kd ask this on you ? Beasley hit em with the paused yeahhhhhh lmaooooo
Beasley killing it on the Knicks. Lets get him resigned
FENDI
3:00 kd was like "wait till these cameras stop rolling imma eat the shit out of this platter"
They are being real and cool
this is nice...something different
Man...the food look hella good
Real shit
