Michael Beasley breaks down how he successfully hid in the hotel room at the 2008 NBA Rookie Camp. Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur caught smoking but later snitched on Beasley after they were fined.
Now I understand why the Heatles punked Mario all the time
wait how did beasley hide exactly
I could listen to Michael Beasley’d High-ass Story Time Hour any day. He’s entertaining crazy.
He really is. It sucks his career probably could have gone a lot better if he was around in this era without the anti-weed bullshit.
Something tells me he’d still have some hurtles to jump
the way you spelled hurdles is awesome! it made me read it in a NY accent
Nah. He would’ve been successful during that era had he listened to Pat Riley.
Riley only had success when he had literally the most stacked rosters in the league. He could give a fuck about anyone who isn’t there to tier of elite.
You cant be at your best stoned 99% of the time. He was a stupid kid who became a stupid man.
No pity for this guy
Hes a pothead who cares more about lighting up than anything else
He never would have been shit in any era
You are describing half the nba at any point in the last 35 years.
The NBA has a program to help rookies learn how to carry themselves financially so they’ll never be wanting again after their financial windfall
Michael Beasley decided to just get high the whole time instead and threw a pity party 10 years later about how he lost all his money.
You guys really think this dude would have been better if weed was MORE accepted???
All he does is sit on podcasts all day smoking talking about how no one can guard him 1-on-1. Thats what he cares about, teams barely wanted that when he was drafted 20 years ago they sure as shit dont want it now.
Bro believe it or not NBA still smokes weed
Believe it or not guys who last in the league dont prioritise weed over basketball like Beasley did.
KD seems to be doing ok
KD also has a love for hooping that I’m not sure Beasley can compare to
And that’s probably the more important point, than just the weed
Bullshit.
I mean not sure why you’re so focused on the weed. Can it be a contributing factor sure, but as we can see with all the other players who can do both even when prioritizing marijuana. It might not be the only factor.
lol. Yeah I’m sure that one day of classes completely doomed solves the problem.
Clown comment.
Beasley and weed hurt you didn’t they? Loser
They sure as shit wouldn’t want a person as yourself either 😂😂😂
They used to run headlines on ESPN like he killed someone when he would get caught getting high. The guy would 100 percent definitely be better than what he was without all the extra bs.
What he ‘was’ was a guy who only cared about scoring 1-on-1.
Cam Thomas just got dumped out of the NBA for that, and he was more efficient and a better passer than Beasley 😂
Honestly people talk about this guy like he was Len Bias. Every team he was on dumped him because he didnt even help them ON THE COURT let alone his off the court bullshit.
Whoever your favorite player is has the same vices.
Having a vice is not the same as being totally beholden to your vice

I live in australia i interact with potheads everyday
So are a lot of the best players in the league now.
“I don’t know these bitches from the color blue.” Gotta save that one.
Beasley was an absolute menace back then lmao. That quote alone should be in the rookie handbook.
Paul Pierce and Jojo White played for KU.
Nah Beasley snitched on himself when he posted that photo from rookie camp with a weed bang in the photo.
Weed is bad.
Nah
I’m on day 5 of sobriety after smoking almost every single day for the past 20 years. It’s been way, way harder than I thought it would be.
I did 90 days off starting around November 2025. You’re one or two more days away from it becoming easy, I promise 🙏
So I’ve heard. I’m hanging in there but the sleepless nights, constant sweating, restlessness, loss of appetite and mood swings fucking suck.
The big ones for me were loss of appetite and not being able to fall asleep, but you’re right around the point where that stopped being an issue for me
Dude I been smoking everyday for 9 months till I decided to just stop. It’s been torture to not smoke again.
Counterpoint: Weed is great.
it is. the main issue is the way its marketed like something benign.
its terrible for your health in multiple ways.
It’s just kinda an overreaction to the reefer madness days, the govement and media went way too ham on pushing weed as something that creates these aggresive monsters and was lethal, to the point people pushed too far in the other direction.
When the truth is more in the middle it has its negatives it is bad albiet not worse than other legal substances, but it does have its positives medically, the issue is people push too hard for mentioning the medical positives they kinda gloss over the negatives, and alot of people don’t use it for medical purposes just to have fun but hide behind the medical benefits, when if they were just open and said yeah I treat it like alcohol I smoke occasionally for enjoyment knowing there’s downsides it’d be seem as less of an issue, rather than acting like there isn’t the addictive nature
truth is always in the middle. there will be a correction and it will eventually be viewed like alcohol.
but for now, theres a lot of people walking around out there smoking/ingesting it everyday that have no idea the affect (long term or short term) that its having on their body
Mmmk
Because?
