You almost wonder if he’d been born in 2003 how does his career pan out? Beasley was an absolute monster one on one. I forget the story, someone can remind me, but he could allegedly beat lebron or kd 1 v 1 at a point in time I forget which
He's one of the only examples there is of a prospect with generational levels of pre-draft statistical production coming into the league and completely flaming out for non-injury reasons. There's definitely a non basketball related story there.
KD said that when they were kids Beasley was always better than him. Also Beasley stole his pizza. https://youtu.be/3frtWaANTmE?si=wDDmDlj4gJjPymPH
I just looked it up and the rumor is he used to be able to torch lebron 1 on 1. I guess Tom Haberstroh was the original source
Imagine beating both Kevin Durant and lebron James one on one and never making an all star team. Basketballs a funny game
Honest to god true story. I used to hoop with a current NBA player. I would beat him at one-on one and three on three every week when we met up. Eventually he just got better as he got older.
Judging players when they're young is difficult.
Well I think the Beasley beating Lebron story was when they both played for the heat
