Michael Beasley will have to serve his 5 game suspension, as dumb as it is. Hopefully he can make something happen in the time he’s out there.
Do you have a new subscriber bro I’m actually watching some of your videos now about NBA prospects
How come no Draft player ever has any footwork, basketball skill/ OR IQ to their game. I have a higher IQ and more skill than 95% of the league. On the Oath to My Lord, I'm a Top 30 player in the NBA currently right now at the age of 24. NBA Scouts check me out. Contact me; I'm a sleeper; a Hidden Gem. Someone get me an NBA agent or a scouts info, and you could make 10% for life off my NBA contracts.
IA the right people see this. Bill Simmons, you could change a Generation of Basketball by Having the First South Indian Enter the league and Dominate and Change the way we see Basketball Globally. Brother please check me out. God Bless Your Soul.
I'm a 25 year old Point Guard In my Third year of Medical School. I chose a different career path, but I've been a student of the game since the early 00s, and Just as a student of medicine, I studied basketball in and out since I was a child. I developed footwork not seen in the league anymore, every step I take on the court is efficient and profound. Watch my footwork, how I set a defender up, the concept of angles is unseen in the Modern Era, I mimic Kobe, Rip, Ray, Paul P, with every way I set up my jumper. My IQ is Luka, LeBron Level, as absurd as it sounds. I'm also a pure shooter, Ray Allen's 3 min youtube video moving baseline to baseline in the Garden Gym is PsychoMemorized in my brain since I was a child. I'm a Complete Basketball player with every part of my game refined like a superstar. Assists, Floor Vision, 2 dribble pass, cut off angles, Post moves, ball fakes, side jabs, triple threat. All used more wise and with a greater understanding than even current NBA all stars in the league. I can carry my own team in the NBa Playoffs, and take a team to the NBA finals, I have LeBron James leadership skills. Bill I am going to be a practicing Physician Within a 2 year span, Please Read Me out with Some credibility, As I know This may sound crazy, But I understand and process exactly what I said. Bill Simmons I ask God for your help. Help me get in contact with someone in the NBA. God Bless you and Your Family in this life and the Hereafter.

No matter his difficulties I’ve always liked beasley
Stg bo
Same
Same that’s my boy though
Hell yeah since he was in Kstate I remember him coming out the draft I was excited to see what he can do.
Same I've always liked Beasley as a fan
I'm praying for this brotha. After the interview on the Pivot, I can see how see how so many obstacles in his life have lead him to believe he has nothing left but his children and ball.
Hope he still gets a chance
Glad you support him Gowie.
His get out of jail free card expired yeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago
he signed with the blazers
Reuniting with his boy KD would be great fit to keep him straight and rejuvenate his career. Beasley is a Beast!
KD dont wanna play with him he tryna get rings not babysit his homeboy
@@blackwallstreet6610 KD got 2 rings and bags of money, he can still help if him and Beasley are that close.
Beasley stayed long enough to make a lot of money. That’s still a successful career.
He could've been a great. And he chose not to be
@@koga477 okay that's not everything other things in life to achieve
He could've made way more had he worked harder
@@manager4409 averaging 21, 9, 6 at 53% fg and 44% 3fg his last 8 games. Wtf u talking about he couldve been better?
Hopefully he manages his money in the future
Wolves fan here. I LOVED Beasley when he was a member of the Wolves. Easily my favorite player on the team. His shooting touch and random athleticism is insane.
I was wondering what happened to him while he was at LA. I can definitely understand that he needed to regroup after losing mom. Hopefully he can come back stronger than ever!
All ten of them teams been in the thumbnail there was an excuse, why none or them ain't want him back.... 🙄
He doesn’t take over enough that man is a demon one on one
One of my favorite offensive talents ever, didn’t get to see enough of this guy. Loved it when he was on the Knicks, gave me a reason to watch
Yo no matter what he go thru he's still a decent basketball player. Like why judging athletes like Beasley by saying smoking weed ruin his career while we got some athletes rather football and baseball that we considered them hall of famers used Steroids and HGH during their careers. See that man we too quick by judging the wrong person all our life just leave Mike Beasley alone hell as least the guy stay in shape every day.
We judge them and we judge him as well lol. His immaturity is what cost him his career
He never grew up hard for real some folks make it hard for themselves.
I think @HoopIntellect was getting at was that the league trashed him for that, which we knew then was wack and now the league thanks to NBPA getting that policy hashed:) out. Peace to Beaz, I see the Melo from the left side.
@@sargeranders9546 he still in the league....you see all the teams he played for? He Stay with a job all over the world. period. you Make millions in your carrer yet?
@@piffsponza What I meant by cost is that, he severely limited the potential and ceiling that he could have very easily reached if he was mature. Plus yeah I'm sure he liking the money but I think he'd like it even more if he broke out like the All-Star/Fringe Superstar talent he deserved to be.
"was said to be loud in more ways than one" hahaha my guy I see what you did.
One of my favorite players. Love his energy…got to see him play in 2016 when he was on the Bucks before I knew he was HIM! Nice vid as well.
He is still one of my favorite players ever, as I watch this video I can’t help but feel bad for the guy because of his mother died it’s my mothers birthday today and the pain will never go away it’s hard losing a parent especially one who is always there for you. Hopefully you can make a good come back to the NBA. Miami should’ve kept him I think he fit well there
Great share! When he signed with Kansas State in Manhattan, KS he was perhaps one of the greatest, if not the greatest College Basketball player ever to play in Manhattan. At the College level, M. Beasley was almost unstoppable. I was glad he was on our team, and not the one down the road. He's been fairly productive in the Pros, but hasn't lived up to the hype when he was drafted #1 overall. I didn't know about him Mom passing away & I'll say a prayer for her & Michael. May God hold her in his arms, and on Angel's wings.
Beasley is one of those dudes that gets into trouble and often disappoints you with his actions, but only because you like the guy and see the good in him.
Half the shit gets pinned on him when it wasn’t even him he’s always been fucked by the media his whole career
Wow great vid man keep it up Fr. I never knew his story I just knew his work ethic was questioned a lot in the league. I hope Brooklyn considers giving him another chance for this upcoming season as it wasn’t his fault he just got sick.
I've never really lost hope in him, he's too talented, hopefully he can get on a team that finds a way to help him and get a great send-off for his carrer.
This guy could've been one of the greatest, I remember seeing him do crazy things in pre game and practice...he was an athletic freak
I was killin' it with him on 2K.
Does 2k21 still have rights for him?

He’s on the Nets now. He’s been killing it this summer. B Easy 🔥🔥
He just got diagnosed with COVID ......
@@kevincai5491 RIP
@Al Yes. And Jamal Crawford who most likely will play in 2021.
Great video man. Appreciate all the work. I’m a die hard fan but I hope Beasley balls the f out for the Nets
Just watched his recent runs with john wall he still got something in the tank even tho its just pick up he could be a great piece on the nets with kd good size can finish at the rim and got a decent strap hope it works out
great video bro, hope my guy can get a multi year contract
The fact that they are from the same county, (Beasley & KD) is nuts to me! I use to literally think they were 1000% the same caliber of player. I hope he gets another chance, and it would be dope if with the Nets & KD, I think playing for a contender would help him tremedously. One of my favorite players for sure!
Hell of a video man good job
imagine how level headed you have to be to make it once drafted into the NBA, how much inner strength and mental toughness to manage the millions of dollars, the girls, and be focused to be the best ball player you can be, while 250 other players try and be better than you, would be an experience, no wonder many crack under pressure, I still like me some Beasley though
You see what happens when people get their income tax money lmaoo
I saw Michael play at CU Boulder his freshman year. One of the few games I went to that season. I have never seen someone dominate a game like he did that day. He was both bigger and stronger and more skilled than every player on the court. This is back when CU was in the big 12 and the games were a lot more physical.I knew he was a lottery pick for the first couple of minutes seeing him in person. He could’ve been an all-time great.
hotel room was LOUDDD i see what u did there lol
great reporting, subbed
Beasley was the most dominant college basketball player I have ever seen. Wish he would have played all four years but understand he had a huge opportunity to make money
I met him at the heat game the other day he was there just to watch the game it’s sad he definitely should still be playing !
He's the king of pickup games. That's about it 🤷♂️
Your fav players fav player! Do your research
@@tbfit7808 he's TRASH

@Tyriek Mitchell did you not hear him say it stupid?! Also look up Kds interview on him
@Tyriek Mitchell do your research bum
This was a good vid
KD really must have thought that he was 6'9 and said Beasley was 6'7 lmaoo
KD was probably 6"7 in that early video then shot up 3 inches

Man I like Beasley I just hope hes doin good and keeps ballin🏀🔥
amazing content
Great vid new sub 👍🏾
Great video
Who’s here after The Pivot Podcast interview?
Playing 2K11 I wondered what happened. Now I know, thx!
Great vid
I hope this brotha knows he is loved. He has so much pain in his soul. Hold on just a little longer the help you need is on the way.
Good video homie Q food reviews god bless
Talent and maturity don't always coexist...
I think his career goes to show that even with elite talent, it takes real focus and dedication to be a superstar in the NBA. He showed glimpses, but could not do it consistently because of off-court distractions (whether self-inflicted or not).
I find it so unfair how Beasley will have to serve a 5 game suspension in the Orlando bubble considering that the NBA is not going to be testing anyone for it while in Orlando. They should just let him play because of that.
It’s dumb they test for it in the first place, especially given he was playing for the lakers, who are in California, and his circumstances at the time more than warranted him coping in that way smh
Man this guy is a champ!! I am rooting for him...he is a winner!!!!!
No he isn't.... he is a massive failure and always points a finger at other people for his lack of determination and lack of hunger.
@@errorusernotfound6442 I guess I can join the NBA, I just have to go down the street to my local YMCA and sign up...The brother does have some challenges but I am not sure lack of determination and lack of hunger are part of those challenges. He has a long life ahead, whether he overcomes those challenges now or later, I believe that as long as a human has breath he is able to overcome.
@@ultraking1 they don't really know! They think the NBA is everything! Like being one of the greatest will solve life's problems!
@@dsg3053 yes..u r correct it seems that when you make money the expectation is that is solves ur challenges and makes u responsible...Mr. Michael Beasley is a talent and has more to give to life...right now it is demonstrated through basketball...and it is a talent rat can inspire...we thank God for his life!!!
If delonte west and waka flocka had a baby
I love Michael Beasely, Melo from the left. dude is a straight bucket, unreal confidence, averaged 19 in the league, sheesh thats tough
The thing is B Easy had all the talent to become an elite player, it just never materialize whether it be because a lack of mentorship or because he didn't want the spotlight on him. I believe he just didn't want to be scrutinize like a LeBron or a KD
One of my fave player...A real one!!!
Whats the name of the song starting at 14:30 in the background plz?!
I was going to talk abt guys like Beas in of my videos. Can I use some of these clips?
Klay injured.. Beasley can help Warriors and most teams. Kerr would be nice for Sir Beasley. With expanded rosters due to Covid 19, the door is wide open.
I use his jump shot in all my builds on 2k20 as my first release and tony parker as my second and it greens every thing , sucks they don't have his jumper in nba 2k21 , I just found out about that today
Needless to say I think it made the whole game better for me , my builds ain't even fun without his jumpshot in custom jumpshot creator even with all the other good jumpers available , his was just clean and we'll balanced all around in form and delivery and precision
hey man whats the instrumental? if u don't mind me asking, dope vid!
Beas still one of my favorites got game for days and a walking bucket same for Jabari Parker hope both get theirs
Imagine if this guy had a Magic, MJ, Malone or Duncan type of teammate to rip him up whenever he didn't work/act proper ?...Don't know about D.Rose, but even 80% of that would be nice..
I think Michael Beasley is one of the chillest dudes
Amazing!
Perfect stretch 4 if you have a rim protecting 5 that can rebound and wings that can defend. His immaturity screwed him along with a low basketball IQ. BUT, what also screwed him was early on teams trying to make him a small forward. Hopefully, he can catch onto a playoffs team's bench as a 4 man that can get you buckets quick. I'd take a gamble if I'm the Bucks. Greek needs to be able to play the 5 down the stretch at times anyways.
Some guys can ball but are not really about the Business of the NBA. He stays catching checks though. I root for him. I keep holding out for 1 really impactful season where he plays both sides of the ball with focus. We all have different priorities.
That’s a high conversation that 10 percent of ur brain
It seems like a no-brainer to select D-Rose back in that draft, but Beasleys numbers were legit insane as a freshman in college, better than Durant's the year before, and it was up in the air who the Bulls would pick
I would be so scare to be arround him hi is so dope every second.
1:50 *Should be Rebounds (RPG) not Blocks (BPG)
A really skilled player unfortunately his has bad I.Q. & lot bad decision thru his life
Hate to see wasted talent
The pivot brought me here...thank you
B Easy is still my favorites player favorite player!
He just needs to be in the situation, he put up great numbers in NY and played well of the bench for LA. I actually think Lakers should give him another ru, he is more talented than Kuzz overall
You not tryna Be 69 (6’9”)
in 2020....😂😂😂
He played good for the Knicks!!!
Teams messed up trying to change his position from PF to SF. He was small for his position but played far bigger but could not defend SF's and playing outside-in as a SF instead of inside out as a PF lead him to be an inefficient player.
Had he come out of college now, the NBA would value his skill-set even more. And left him at the 4 spot because he would be a match-up nightmare and forcing teams to go small on him. Because going big means he would score at will however he wanted.
@@davidcombs3617 I completely agree. I wish he stayed in Miami. That culture was the perfect environment for him. Going to two of the worst run franchises at the the time, Minnesota and Phoenix, really hurt his development and reputation.
Everything I watched Beasley play he went off and dominated. I only watched him play about four times but he sure played awsome those games.
Everytime*
Dude my favorite college player of all time
I never Kd and B convo til on I saw this 👍🏽
Loved when he played for the t-wolves.
Love me to death vs Love me to life. Very important distinction!!
First and already know it’s 🔥
I want to see him back in the NBA. He can play.
Oh dang I didn't realize him and KD were boys like that. Hopefully the Nets thing works out

what are the songs used in the video?
Michael Beasley instead of Chris Bosh might be the worst what if I’ve ever heard Lebron wouldn’t have won a ring in Miami 😂🤨
additionally KD further down in his career, even as a MVP , has said Beasley can get his own points against anyone in the league.
I really wanted him to continue his career in the lakers. Who knows he still might get a chance here.
My sense is that Beasley lacked guidance, or willingness to accept guidance, and he suffered from addiction and mental health problems. When I've seen him talk and heard about his behavior, it sounds to me like he might suffer from bipolar disorder. I pray he doesn't end up like Delonte West because I've heard the two compared to each other numerous times. He was extremely talented but I think his career, at this point, is over. I doubt he has much of the 30 million he made in the NBA left. Keep in mind that, after taxes and expenses, that's probably a net of 15 million at best.
Ctfu 🤣 “Loud in more ways than one”
Nice work here brother, Preciate the video
Watching this after the suns go up 2-0 vs denver in conference semi finals :o good for them
His troubles starts by saying stuff like we the ones and I'm him
Lol. What???
Nah that was just 1 on 1 gym ball trash talk. If you actually watched that video he was wrecking dudes, never even missed a shot
crazy how the league is a perfect fit for him now with stretch 4s & 5s with space to operate yet he isn’t in the league smh ..I get he comes with some baggage but still he’s worth it ..perfect 6th man to come in and give u 14-18 a night & keep the scorin pace up
I feel like the media used to demonize weed so fucking much and I think the NBA didn’t give him as much minutes bc he had a bad image. You can see from this video even with off the court troubles when he had good minutes he was playing well 🤷🏽♂️.
First off, this video was great. You did a great job.
Now, to get real.
Think about all the lies people say....about how marijuana isn't addictive.
This dude couldn't stop smoking.
Ricky Williams couldn't stop smoking.
This guy was obviously super talented, but drugs ruined him.
I'm sure he's going to be broke af either this year or next.
He had his fun, but the drugs (and lack of larger payouts) caused him to not reach that potential.
He seems to realize that.
You hope at some point that he would focus on defending . The buckets are always going to be there for him but that's not always going to get him significant minutes
For sure. He definitely has the physical tools to at least hold his own and he’s had some good moments, particularly in Milwaukee, but it’s probably far too late for him to put it together, sadly.
If the dude do that I can see him winning most improved player or sixth man of the year
No doubt. Period. You 6 7, 6 8 , you got a defend a little. Even real Melo found that out, in one of the most publicly uncomfortable situations in sport in a long time. Undoubtedly, Beaz is nice, but can't rack up -4 one on one. Once he buys in, he'll stick.
Michael Beasley is the down side of God-given talent.
Never feel pressure coming up, so they crumble when they come across it in the highest levels.
I thought Beasley would dominate most nights as a pro, but he just fell off after going pro. I never got that becauseyou either hoop or play. He was a hooper.
Be careful what you wish for you might just get it, that not the problem it's maintaining it.
I like Beasley he can still give any team HELP
