Shown in the thumbnail: the disdain that Malik Beasley has for all the bandwagon Laker fans infesting every away arena in the country.
Not shown in the thumbnail: Michael Beasley getting his bench-sore heinie totally kicked by the superior Beasley.
I really want to use this description space as my own personal soapbox to denounce the enbenchment of Michael Beasley. He was pretty good last year by my observation, and definitely good the year before that because he was on the Bucks and the Bucks don’t sign not-good players. But this is not a Michael Beasley video. It’s a Malik Beasley video, and he just scored a career high, so I will respect him by only talking about him from this point forward. Until this description ends, at which point I will begin penning letters to any elected representatives I can find contact info for telling them to make Luke Walton play Michael Beasley more.
This is the kind of career-high game where it feels like the player in question could do it every night. Watch this video. See what I mean? Beasley can do all the things he does in the video without issue. This isn’t some out-of-left-field crazy performance that is unsustainable. This is totally sustainable. Maybe not right at this level, but double-figure scoring can be something he does game-in, game-out.
At least, until Will Barton comes back and ruins everything. First Paul Millsap, now Barton. Why are all these middling vets so intent on ruining what the Nuggets have going on?
