Michael Beasley Highlights
Michael Beasley Vs Lebron James
When Lakers were signing Michael Beasley, basketball fans were both confused and amused by the fact that LeBron James’s new team was bringing aboard yet another questionable personality. However, he asserted that the new-look squad, already dubbed the “Meme Team,” would “come together” nicely because he and his teammates “know how to play basketball.”
After that one season together in Miami, in which Beasley played relatively sparingly, the Boston Globe cited NBA sources in reporting that “James was not pleased with his focus.” “I’m not really here to beat anybody out of minutes, or play more than this guy,” Beasley said, in a demonstration of a mature outlook. “I’m here to play a team game and do as much winning as I can.”
