Is MICHAEL BEASLEY A Pot Head? Why Can't He Find A Job In The NBA? Stunted Growth

- Michael Beasley entering the NBA was expected to be a transcendent talent, or at least a second star for the Miami Heat. He's accused of being a Pot Head at times, but is that really the reason he didn't turn out as expected? He was a top 3 recruit in the 2007 high school class, but really made his name when he finally suited up for K-State. Immediately Beasley shocked college basketball by the insane numbers he was putting up that we only seen that decade on that level by guys like Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. He was the player of the year in his standout lone season at Kansas State, along with conference player of the year, consensus first team all American and averaged over 26ppg and 12 rebounds. He was signed by the Brooklyn nets most recently, but had to leave the Orlando bubble for testing positive for the rona before even playing 1 game for the team. So what happened to this once promising star? Was it opportunity, work ethic, or was Michael Beasley a POT HEAD? Stunted Growth.

Why isn't Michael Beasley in the NBA? Can he still contribute?
Yes I’m guessing he still can score, but the pot smoking & the other issues he has is keeping him out of the NBA
I think if he showed effort on D and general hustle GMs might take him more seriously as a stretch 4
No, he can’t at this point
I could have sworn you already did him JC. 🤔
I did. Long time ago so wasn't the best quality. Had to redo this one
Man that part where he asked about who it was that used 11% of their brain 😂😂
lol, me too wonder the host name 😏
@@alexanderaristo I know but I’m not going to tell you. Cause I want you to do better with your life. Thank me later
@@alexanderaristo Taylor Rooks & mane is she badd 😍
@@pieceoflintifoundonthefloo554 🤣🤣🤣
@DrDoomBloom that is the dumbest shit ever, considering the whole 10% is nonsense. It's a myth. But he sounds smart to ignorant, dumb people.
Beasley does not play defense, man... this is another weakness in his game. He could be an amazing shot blocker, he was known for that in HS and college but he stopped doing that in the NBA. He only cares about scoring. He played in Puerto Rico recently
coulda been a small ball center by now
And that's the problem with big men as in (height)...once they learn to shoot a jumpshot,they tend to stray away from their original position instead of using it as a tool
Blame Rasheed
Beasley had the athletic tools to be successful on the defensive end. I think he was just lazy asf.
@@Mr.PR2000 I think so too bruh,if u go and look at a clip of him playing pickup ball with wall,tyreke evans and some more random ppl Beasley was playing lazy af
Beasley was a dawg literally the BEST player in college during his K State days….. he definitely would be in G league if he played today no college as the youngins say LEAGUE HIM
His numbers were better than KD..
@@aaronhutchinson885 sure was
Ahem.. D Rose.. tf
@@lordtrill7731 two different positions but he definitely did his thing…Beasley was on a totally different level lol
@@blakelip3 of course they are 2 different positions but Beasley being better is a matter of opinion.. One averaged 2 more points and 12 rebounds... the other lead his team to play for a title... So you're right... He was on a lower level if anything😅😅
Who rubs somebody else leg and think it's there own like can't you feel?? Lol
Very suspect behavior 😂
Mike Beasley was da truth in college literally unstoppable
Watched him live at the all American game in my hometown of Louisville Kentucky and at the point in time he was the best player in high school and that game had drose, blake, eric gordon, the beard, johnny flynn, kevin love, oj mayo, patrick patterson, dontae green etc.
Word.
I honestly felt in some of his situations he was done wrong like phoenix and Minnesota but I honestly feel like he did not do what was necessary. A lefty walking bucket. And one of my favorites
Michael Beasley is that dude! He really raw fr but the politics of the NBA is tricky once you start getting into lil incidents
Swim team in the building
@@CruddyDave yerrrrrr
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.
Melo wasted alot of years in New York to be honest out of loyalty to his home and I feel comfortablity. And I am from Bklyn nyc all day but it's true Melo should've been on a championship contending team which the knicks haven't been in year's plus the fuck shit I feel he pull on J. Lin got him now dealing with KARMA.
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 wish him all the best in life as well as the game of basketball.
Usually weird dudes in Basketball are the ones that do the most stupid shit.
He's a good person G of course we must become a fool to become a wiser person in life, 1 Corinthians 3:18-20 KJV Bible
Michael Beasley isn't weird.
IT’S ME!!! THE ONLY ONE!!!! always loved this mans confidence 😤😤 he brought it EVERY WHERE HE WENT
Michael Beasley is my favorite college player ever. In those 25 mins a game he was the Heat 2nd leading scoring shooting 47% from the field and 40% from 3
I remember watching Michael Beasley when he was at oak Hill when he came to play a school for my city name Providence Day. He was a man among boys out there.
The knee rub & Tolliver face 7:45 😯🤣🤣🤣
How do you touch, much less rub, another man’s knee and not immediately know that’s not your knee?
@@33greenleafI don't know bruh.
1st time I saw Beasley, was at University of Maryland scrimmage summer runs. UMD guys, other area colleges, top HS players..I didn't know who Beasley was, at the time. But he was handing out buckets Vs UMD starting 5. So I'm ask what College does he goes 2. I was then told he was about to be a JR in HS...all I need to hear, this guy was a walking bucket then...His lone season at KState was better than KD year. That was a crazy back to back Freshman run.
The first time I saw him play was at Catholic University in the summer of '05. He was a Junior in HS destroying Chris Wilcox, Pops Mensa-Bosua and some other Pros. 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.
Man that run that we had of dmv players from that era
Kd
Beasley
Jarret Jack
Gary Neal
Quin cook
Nolan smith
Jeff green
Roy hibbert
Thomas Robinson
Ed Davis
That 07-2014 era was crazy out here
@@reckless1216 there was a run with maybe 15 burger guys in 3/4 years. You throw in Chriw Wrigth, Freeman, Lawson etc..Best HS hoops in the country. I would say Neal is from Bmore, more than the DMV..BMORE got some hoopers and take pride where they from
@@reckless1216 man what! Ty Lawson, Delonte, Franchise earlier in the '00's Countless D1 and D2 players. Some of the best bump in the country. LA tuff too though.
@@RockwellJunya yup Chris Wright Austin freeman Jerome dyson ty Lawson Scottie Reynolds victor oladipo
I’m from the DMV I won’t lie this dude may be one of the most naturally talented basketball players I’ve ever seen. And he works EXTREMELY hard but some environmental problems no one talks about that honestly.
Great video man he’s always been one of my favorites. He was playing at K state when I was in 8th grade all the guys from that time I look back fondly on. And I was a huge pothead in high school so I always have a soft spot for the weed smokers of the NBA haha
I think that getting drafted to a city like Miami was a disaster, too much going on for him. If he started his career in Minny i think he would’ve been better off in the long run
Another classic great video stunted 💯
Salute bro. Appreciate that. 💯
Might have to do Russel Westbrook fam
Salivating
@@stuntedgrowth Westbrook ain't Stunted... He just very inconsistent at times lol... Ed booger might be a good one
Prime Beasley would give prime lebron buckets idc idc idc…. Beasley may not be the best teammate but he definitely a give him a bucket done seen him do it too many times 😭😭😭 beasley was just too hood for the league he didn’t care about the front office 😂
I know people who've been around him since high school his issue is weed. the only time in his career that he cut it out was when he played with the Knicks a few years ago.
My friend had a cousin on that Minnesota team...he said he had the talent to be a top five player with things he seen him do...but the his work ethic wouldn't let him be consistent.
BEasy damn man I was 100% sure he was a future All-Star when he was in college. How could he not be seemed like he had everything checked off and lefty advantage on top of it. Couldn’t wait to see what kind of career he was going to have....
It was a well known fact he use to kill bron in one on one's in Miami. I wish he could've kept his head together 🙏🏾💯
This vid makes me think about Delonte West for some reason . You should do a video on him!
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
A yo. I was a teammate with Michael Beasley at k-state back in 07-08 season. I was a senior 22 and Michael Beasley was 18. Michael was my guy and he put k-state on the map again with basketball but he never really put in the work on the court at k-state. It was easy for him. Very very very talented and skilled but he did the bare minimum at practice. He put in work in the weight home tho. I thought his going to the nba would've motivated him better and more cuz he was gonna get paid millions. But i still wish him well abd he still my brother.
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?
Mike B is a tweener! Tweeners at the forward position don't have great NBA careers. MICHAEL BEASLEY is an example of that
One of my favorite guys in college basketball history 🏀🔥
I remember him and Tasmin Mitchell were 2 guys considered can't miss prospects in the 9th grade
Wade couldn't wait for his knees to completely go out lol
GOD BLESS You man
Sadly he's still an automatic bucket. Many ppl wish they were as talented. Kinda sad to see the wasted potential
Not really wasted, hes a tweener, back then that hurts him way more. He put in what he got out, seemed to stay high. Also pretty bad defense but he did get screwed by some teams it feels.
Micheal Beasley one of favorite players ever fr 💯 he was a dawg fasho🔥🔥🔥
Shout out to dat footage from Downtown Cleveland 💯💯💯🔥
Stunt #4 Looks too much like Delonte West for Lebron
A walking double double Every game 😤😤
I got Beas comin off the bench on my 2k. Dawg still puttin up numbers
That clip of B-Eazy rubbing Anthony Tolliver’s knee is one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. I wondered if you would include it in his story. Tolliver must have been thinking “bruh what’re you doin?”
That black girl interviewing Beasley is GORGEOUS!!! LOL.Having a watch on your ankle is pretty useless.LOL.Beasley was a good player,too bad about the co-vid thing tho.Just a minor set-back,Beasley will be back in the nba.
Yeah what’s her name? She bad as fuck
Taylor Rooks!
LMFAO THAT OPENER 😂😂😂😂😂
It really wasn't a dumb question tho lol
Beasley is one of the reasons why i don’t like weed 🤣🤣🤣
I use to love his game man
Can we get a Stunded Growth on Tekitha Wisdom or Blue Raspberry, both use to sing 🔥 vocals for classic Wu-Tang songs like All I Got is You and Release yo Delf.
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).
When his Mother died it did something to him bro. If it never happened to you, you can’t relate
One of my favorite players.
The intro 😂😂😂
B. Easy still got mad game til this very day...don't be fooled by the Politics of the media & the NBA... Every time I seen him take the floor he was always giving somebody the business...He plays more D than Hardin or Melo he was jus too Street for a Team to invest in him...He still one of the only Dudes I seen that can out score Starters while coming off the bench & having more points than minutes played.. Thats phenomenal if you ask me...💯💪🏾👀🤔🤔🤔
Beasley a menace to himself
You did not need to do Joe Alexander like that 😂
Need one on DJ Kennedy & Dwight Hardy from St,Johns
Love Beasley. Would love to see him back in the league.
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.
Speaking of OJ Mayo do one of him
I’d love to see him on the Cleveland Cavaliers!!!!
This guys fried 😂
Boy a monster when it’s time for practice he go crazy
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.
You cant call Beasley a liability with all the Europeans in the league today.
Please do one on marathon brooks
@Robert Drake we ain’t never heard of providence again after him 😂
Underrated talent ""
It is almost like him and J.R. Smith are the same person.
Mentally maybe, but JR is a bucket. Beasley can’t score like that
He was nice at k-state
For a vid check out derryck thorton Jr and Paris Austin, og Hoopmixtape legends right there
I liked Beasley when he was on the Bucks
Speaking of Kansas State players, have you done Wally Judge?
🔥
can we have a Qyntel Woods video?
I think he expected to just come in and dominate like he did in high school and college without having to make many adjustments to his game. Imagine if he did work out. Does Lebron and Chris Bosh still sign with Miami?
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
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.
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.
B Easy is definitely my favorite non star player. He's definitely my favorite player's favorite player
Some people like to play basketball but not practice
The man was infatuated with spongebob ......nuff said
Do Oj Mayo next
He already did
I legit thought he'd be a bigger star than DRose and will take the L.
6:18 all three from PG county along with Ty Lawson and Jarret Jack University of Maryland missed out on all that talent…
💯
Why do you have a watch on your ankle?
- I am moving with the times
Dude had on three watches, one on each wrist and then one on his ankle...... Baller 🏀 sh!t
Balanced 💯
Dude Miami coulda drose and dwade☠️ that’s different type of athletic backcourt
@Kings Will Soon Rise he said in the vid they were thinking about swapping picks I was jus bein hypothetical
Damn Taylor Rooks 😚
David Hoskins and Bill Walker we’re on that K-State Team. Those three were supposed to be the best college team since UNLV.
The only one? You not even the only Mike Beasley! Shout out to Shelby!
This video isn't entirely accurate, Michael Beasley did have one very good year with the Minnesota Timberwolves, proving that he could be a proficient scorer while maintaining an excellent field goal percentage, B Easy just had things happen to him throughout his career but he did show high levels of proficiency while in the NBA
11 seasons not bad
WE THEM ONES! 😁😁😁
7:40 😂😆
I see him an Thaddeus young having the same issue being tweeners they the same size got the same crafty game but Beasley play with more power. I hate that he got done like that
Young actually plays defense that's why he is still in the league
@@ogmusik2549 true, and to think with Beasley motor he’d play defense too
Be Easy Mike Beasley
Son was nice, but he get too baked. I think maturity would've took him further. The talent speak for itself but the maturity to understand the opportunity he WAS given and really pushing to be great was absent. Great vid as always 👌🏿
You can be as weird as you wanna be in sports so long as you’re productive and help your team win games when it counts. Look at Rodman. I do agree that not clearly defining or evolving his game didn’t help.
Can u imagine if the Bulls would of took Beasley instead of Rose 😂😂😂
Wade and Rose in the Miami backcourt?!?!? Got-damn…
Beasly is literally like a Kelly oubre like a Milton like a miixheal porter like a kevin looney
Bonehead with madddd game. Them interview clips hilarious
b EZ btw u would not now about Taylor rooks if not for that legendary video she was like our secret on sny 😂.. 11 years and he avg some good numbers on bad teams.. I think he being a sf but being a 4,5 in college is what messed him up had the used him more as a wing and been truthful with his height information would have been better for him
He's from Frederick I get why he's at where he's at
Ok but who the girl in da beginning
