Definitely agree with you as far as him developing more perimeter skills to play at small forward and him getting traded from Miami. Miami is a high class organization where he probably would've developed better as a basketball player and mentally and avoided the "pothead" or" lazy" labels given to him.

Carmelo is a good comparison, Beasley wasn’t given the green light like Melo early on. Melo was a clear cut 3, where Beasley came in projected as a 4. They both were pushed out the league prematurely, but Melo separated himself as a professional. I think that Beasley could do the same, but he’s burned too many bridges. I can see him getting the second unit going, but his lack of defense reputation will hurt those chances.

Michael Beasley is a weird dude overall but having a weird characteristic doesn’t mean that your work ethic or drive is lacking. Nonetheless, this is a clear case of a bad reputation plaguing someone’s life and/or career. Once you get a bad stigma, it is damn near impossible to escape it.

I remember calling my wife at the time from the gym and saying, DC has it's own Lebron James. I feel like that trade from the Knicks to LA messed his situation up too. He was starting to build some consistency with the Knicks. He was playing well there and the fans started to get behind him. He sat to much in LA.

There's a lot of players in the NBA that smokes weed so I'm not sure if that's what really stunted his growth. I think it's being on a team that's willing to allow players to develop the right way. He needed to add defense to his game as well as the long ball. It's hard to believe this dude used to give KD the business back in the day but what happened between then and now?

Straight dawg put him in any locker room or in any practice he’ll look like the best player in the world it’s just about team fit but wit the rock straight bucket EASY

Easily one of the most naturally gifted basketball players ever! But didn't work and refine his game, and establish a perimeter game. Tried to rely solely on his athleticism. But Beasley could've easily been where Durant is now, if he put in the work(and stopped smoking so much damn weed). Beasley's growth stunt reminds me a lot like Darius Miles'(and even Andrew Wiggins).

This vid makes me think about Delonte West for some reason . You should do a video on him!

Thats phenomenal if you ask me...💯💪🏾👀🤔🤔🤔

I use to love his game man

From my opinion, his biggest issue is weed. Typically, people don’t have an issue if you don’t get in trouble for it. This dude been caught on camera and by the police too many times for a team to justify paying him millions because it seems like he doesn’t care. Keep the weed use on the low, make sure you don’t get a positive test and all will be fine. Secondly, the lack of making plays for others - all he can do is score and he doesn’t even rebound well in the NBA.

The intro 😂😂😂

Everybody in these comments needs to STFU and go watch Michael's Pivot Podcast episode. This is what I got out of it: NEVER have I witnessed someone who needed help, asked for help, didn't receive any help, didn't understand why he was being ridiculed and condemned by people who didn't even know. He caught me and the Pivot cast off guard with his pain. It actually made me cry I was so sad for the guy and the life he's had to endure. I didn't really know anything about him until recently because I never got to watch him play as I lived overseas during his time in the league. I have come to know how dominant he was coming up and in college. I can only imagine the monster on the court he would have become if he had just received the help he asked for and the love and care he truly needed and still needs. I hope you know people love you Michael.

Beasley was a liability on the defensive side of the ball. I thought he was going to pair well with d wade but it obvious they didn't. I have always felt that beasley wanted to go 1st overall to the bulls and not being drafted by them hurt his ego a lil. He was never the same.

Speaking of OJ Mayo do one of him

Thing is, there are always players who, by how they play, always look good but actually hurt their team. I listened to a rich gambler one time give away that if guys like Melo or Westbrook were starting, he'd place bets against their team and won over 80% of his bets. He intimated that there were always about 10-20 stars in the game who always submarined their team, and he loved that coaches played them regardless of the record. Easy money.

For a vid check out derryck thorton Jr and Paris Austin, og Hoopmixtape legends right there

yeah... doesn't matter if Beasley adjusted and trained like crazy. Riley was going to get rid of him the second he had a chance to sign Lebron. just like the cavs traded Wiggins before he could play his first NBA game, because Lebron was coming back. both teams won rings with Lebron so they made the right choice. and I'm not a Lebron fanboy... it's just what it is, any team would've traded both Beasley and Wiggins in a heartbeat for a chance to get Lebron

I understand rules have loosened recently but there were definitely a lot more people than just Beasley who’s teams knew they smoked.
