[FULL] Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley walk down memory lane in exclusive sit-down interview | ESPN

[@BOSSSHAWN]

This interview was pure gold! Beasley said “KD was my best friend and the reason I brought my XBOX out of the house”. LMAO. Real Shit right here! This interview reminds me of back in the day growing up. This is how it was in the hood but we worked with what we had and made the most of it.

[@humbleprogress1226]

man like KD said, you don't even realize you're broke as kids till you get out of the hood. Make the most of it.

[@jay3492]

I'm older so it was the PS1/PS2 for me but I know exactly what Beasley is talking about. I can relate.

[@mistypooky9875]

I clicked on this knowin it would be the most "murrland" DMV interview ever.

[@ChaseNMoneey]

For real I never took mines no where I wish I had a friend like that

[@EV-pj6jo]

both controllers!!😂

[@chosendrawz]

Very happy to see Beasley back in the league, playing at a high level. KD is a legend already. The finals go through him, specifically

[@Ami-kg2jn]

Loved this interview. It's nice seeing KD relaxed in an interview and not having the media take his words out of context. You can tell he and Mike have a strong bond. Hopefully, another team is willing to take a chance on Beasley. He's been through a lot, but can still ball.

[@humbleprogress1226]

KD is so down to earth man. We can all question his basketball choice, but the person is awesome man. No ego at all. I'm glad he's doing what makes him happy on and off man.

[@samgunz1]

Yea.. I gained more respect for him after watching this

KD is such a cool dude to hang out with he deserves what ge gets RN , I respect him he has come so far and now he's one of the best NBA players in our generation , don't slow down Keep up bro⛹💯.

[@BTChris9]

Isaac Martinez he’s not a snake he’s good at basketball and secured a well deserved ring would you rather him stay with Westbrook and never win a ring

[@jwatsss453]

Chris Dechane His rings don’t mean anything he had a chance but he left Cavs would’ve destroyed gsw but kd joined for a ring many teams needed him but he went to the easiest you bandwagon.

[@marro2483]

Chris Dechane yes stay with Westbrook and build a dynasty

[@janrodriguez2029]

jan rodriguez yeah if only he sold out and joined the warriors he would of gotten a ring ... but would the warriors wanted his ass ?

[@trapafuyah]

I love how the comment section is giving Beasley his respect... he’s been my favorite player to play with on 2k for years now, outside Nate Robinson

[@riverrebel1]

I've always loved and rooted for MB, he's shown so many flashes that make you think "alright this dudes about to break from the pack and become a top 10 player" He could just never string those games together. He was still a starter in the NBA which is incredible in itself

[@gmayo114]

I'm late to this but it makes me look at these men in a totally different light...dope!

[@akimmalik1329]

Interesting listening to this after watching the pivot understanding Beasley troubles. He seemed Pretty happy back then but KD expressed Beasley did not have early guidance to keep him in check.

[@boomerjones2035]

Love seeing this side of athletes! This is pure gold 🖒💪🏀🙋🏋

[@ShoeCrewTV]

Love how KD always stay true with his Longhorn hat. Everyone stay mad but I'm sure KD will return to OKC I know for sure they mean a lot to him. It was just time for a change.

[@TheFilmSpace1]

Always come back to this interview once a year. We the same age and mindset. Salute

[@bobbywalsh7767]

Beasley was dominant college basketball player, and a good NBA player.

Crazy how right here these two are a prime example and shows the difference between two super talented guys but one having supreme discipline and dedication and the other not having it.

[@blaqboy843]

Have you listened to Beasley’s story? That kid was doing his homework outside on his living room furniture bcuz they got evicted. That’s happened on more than one occasion. Different upbringing will have a serious impact on your life
