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.

Thus23 he took a vet minimum to play with Lebron...if that’s not selling out then what is?

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

Why does he deserve it? He already has had far more career then he ever grinded for...

@Vic Vega No he didn't.

[@Thatboy733]

Beasley is so humble and appreciative man

[@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.

[@walitoor4328]

Man I love Michael Beasley. One of my favorite players growin up. Nothin but love for him man. Just sad knowin he coulda been so much more. Nice to see KD got a friend like Mike too man. Respect for both of em.

Beasley could’ve easily been 10 top in the league if he didn’t get caught up in the life

[@bluescripts100]

Easy he coulda averaged 30 a few seasons if he gave his all

[@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

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.

I’m from seat pleasant too and his story is basically exactly how all of us lived... genetics and work ethic is the reason why he is who he is though. Seeing Chris McCray and Kevin Durant as a kid is something you just knew was special.
