[Lowlight] In case you’re wondering what Malik Beasley is up to, He’s hocking old jerseys on TikTokLive
“Thoughts about Pablo Torre?” Is crazy
i was curious
It’s no soul left in those eyes
you know how bad it is when youre “good old days” are the late 2010s wolves
Those were dark times
Nah that MF is too stupid to lose his soul, he’ll continue laughing and doing stupid shit
He seems happy to me lol. Bro’s too silly to gaf about anything ever
he gambled it away
I thought he was in jail
Didn’t he say at the top that he’s giving them away?
after i stopped recording he said “200 on my shop” which for a game worn jersey is kind of a steal except its Malik Beasley jersey
*hawking
I EVEN GOOGLED TO SEE IF I USED IT RIGHT FUCK
You chagpt’d it be honest
….thats more work than going “Hock or Hawk”
Hock Tua
And you still got it wrong dummy
Very “Ending of TÁR” coded for those who get this
I get it but at the same time I’m not going to tolerate Monster Hunter slander by proxy.
Thinking about the person who knows nothing about TÁR going “the fuck does it have to do with Monster Hunter”
Just like Lydia TÁR, bro got knocked down multiple pegs. It ain’t that deep
i think we watched 2 different movies
I don’t know anything about TÁR other than that it’s a movie, but i play monster hunter rise a shit ton.
what’s this got to do with Monster hunter ?
I remember seeing the MH logo in the opening credits, I was not prepared for that payoff.
more films should make you sit through the entire credits before the film because cutting to black and lights on in the theater hits like crack
He was my high school teammate. Words can’t explain how depressing this is. I was a year younger and dude took me under his wing and helped me a lot on and off the court. He was a good dude. His dad was a wealthy actor. He had no business gambling on himself, came from money and had his own.
Like damn bro. I remember the day Leonard Hamilton came to see him for the first time. Seeing him like this just fucking stings man.
Yeah pretty fucked up how much people are shitting on him. His life fell apart due to addiction. Don’t think people would be saying the same things if he was an alcoholic, rather than a gambling addict. I know it got to the point he was manipulating games but honestly it doesn’t matter that much to me. It’s just sad
About 2 years ago, My buddy from rehab went to a different program for IOP, and ended up in an IOP with Malik Beasley for a few weeks. At some point he did try to get help, it just didn’t stick for him.
I assure you, people would absolutely be shitting on him just the same if he was an alcoholic.
I think it’s okay to make fun of a guy who had so much, so many opportunities many can only dream of, and threw it away by their own self imposed actions
There’s a difference between making jokes and taking some strange pleasure in his misery though
Isn’t that what jokes are? Taking pleasure in misery
It makes me super sad and I’m just a nuggets fan who liked the good run he had here. I hope he can come out better than this
“Damn homie. In high-school he was the man, homie. The fuck happened to him?”
It’s too bad his vice was gambling and not women like MPJ.
Give MPJ a few years. They will end up at the same place.
While I agree that MPJ is dumb af, dude made 200 mil from his NBA career already and he will sign a contract next FA for at least dozens of millions of dollars more. That is considerably more money than Beasley, around 60 mil, made in the league. 200 mil is so much money that is kinda hard to throw it all away.
I’m sorry but if you can go broke after earning 60m, you can go broke after earning 200m. The difference is both massive and insignificant at the same time. 140M is an ungodly amount of money for a person to have, but if they spend 60m in a couple of years, they will spend the rest too
Floyd Mayweather: “Throwing away 200 million? Light work.”
I hope he learned from his brothers and avoid betting and gambling.
Nah, MPJ too stupid for gambling
His brother on the other hand
How can you be too stupid for gambling
You gotta log in or find a casino, things MPJ could struggle with
I still do not fathom how gambling is even fun when you already millions of dollars.
Dopamine as usual
It gives you stakes in something you don’t otherwise care about. It’s a fun pastime if you actually use it responsibly.
A dollar per horse race, throw the horse races on TV, and the worst days fly a little faster. Definitely not enough measures in place to keep people from going off the deep end, which happens all too commonly
Pastime
Dammit
Curious mike 💯
Completely ruined his life, he could have still been in the league making a shit ton of money and a pension once he retires. Just an absolute dummy.
played for 9 seasons, is he not eligible for pension.
Had he not gambled he could have played for more than 9 seasons. A player with 7 credited seasons can earn around $14k a month. If they play fewer than 3 seasons there’s no pension. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Google say 3 seasons as minimum. I am not sure about the amount they receive.
57k is the minimum pension a year
The 10 season number is just to get the maximum pension amount.
3 seasons gets you in.
Needed one more season for the max amount, as I understand it. He’ll get a pension though.
Will he get a pension if he is banned for gambling? That seems counterintuitive
I honestly would be shocked if he did, it might be null and void after pleading guilty for gambling.
Why? I don’t see how these two should be connected. The pension is a social benefit guaranteed by union contract, not some bonus payment scheme. You could rack up DNPs for 10 years straight and be eligible for max benefits; would that seem counterintuitive, too?
I think the ten year thing is for healthcare not pension
boban also played for 9 seasons, he said he needs one nore nba game to qualify, so i guess 10 yrs for maximum pension benefits.

Prosecutors state that Beasley accrued multi-million-dollar gambling losses and took a loan from Davis to cover them. To pay off the debt, Beasley agreed to deliberately manipulate his statistics (underperforming or overperforming on scoring and rebounds) during at least four games in the 2023–24 NBA season while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks
How’d he get caught? I’m assuming the Feds found some type of receipts
idk but it’s interesting now to think that he was on the same team as Giannis Kalshikounmpo
An increasing amount of NBA players are falling victim to gambling while the NBA and some of its biggest stars are partnering with gambling firms.
The NBA is shit for that.
it’s completely vile and immoral. but hey, it’s par for the course in all aspects of society nowadays
He got caught by all the fraud detection systems that are in place now. It all starts with the sports book flagging a certain player or team getting an abnormal amount of action or unusually high wagers being placed on them
With the legalization of gambling and their partnership with the league, it’s actually easier to catch stuff like this now.
So, despite what your average redditor will tell you, the NBA partnering with these companies actually makes this stuff less likely to happen.
Why would a partnership with the league specifically make it less likely to happen? Wouldn’t the bets still be the same along with the game footage? What role would the league play in this? It seems like the crux of your argument should be giving credit to the gambling companies, not the league. I could be misunderstanding though so if I am lmk.
Well, they’ve already agreed between the two parties to eliminate certain props that would be easier to manipulate.
That plus the data sharing between the two simply makes it easier to catch.
How stupid do you have to be to run out of money when you’ve earned Millions?
Pretty easily actually….you spend it all on shit not worth anything.
He obviously wasn’t listening when Melvin from baby boy was talking 🤦🏿
Guns and butter
W reference. A BET classic
Look at Rashee rice from Kansas City chiefs. He’s broke already albeit rookie deal money
He’s also filing to get around paying his court fee to the woman he hit(3.4M)
The man is famously in debt to a BARBER
Keep in mind this guy earned 6 million less than 2 years ago
Watch 30 for 30: Broke and you’ll have your question answered.
I tell people to watch this all the time. It’s weirdly a great personal finance primer, with a bit of scared straight.
Don’t blow it.
Keep it simple.
Count your money.
Well he is a gambling addict, so there’s that reason.
It’s actually pretty simple when you realize a lot of people have greater expenses than income. Regardless of income.
I had a job that paid \(31 an hour, and I lived and had expenses as someone who makes \)40 an hour. My income never overcame my expenses.
Luckily I was able to adjust my lifestyle and live within my means.
But for pro athletes, they buy and purchase things on a whim because they are making millions. Until they aren’t anymore. Those lavish cars, apartments, toys, jewelry, etc. that shit doesn’t stop costing money. So when a player end up out of the league. They still have millions of dollars each year in expenses, but they aren’t making millions of dollars anymore.
Shit goes sideways fast.
Lots of people just spend what’s in their pocket. Only difference is the size of the pockets, end result is the same
Don’t excuse this, they run out of money because they’re fucking idiots. These guys could at any point in their career make a singular phone call and get someone to invest a quarter of their salary for just that year into an index fund, hang up the call and never think about it again and they’d be set for life even if they blew through everything after that. It’s genuinely unbelievable how dumb they must be.
While I agree that they’re idiots, that’s not exactly why. Entire documentaries have been made about nba player money mismanagement and it’s almost always down to them having to pay for all of their broke family members that ruins them.
The difference today is that most new players aren’t entering the league poor like they did back then. Poor kids don’t even get that chance anymore.
You know what you are right. As much as these guys are idiots the leeches attached to them are much worst because they leech and leech until nothing left. And these NBA players are dumb enough to get scammed by these “family”. If I get millions the only person in this world who gets some of my money is my Mother no one else.
“It’s actually pretty simple when you realize people are stupid with money” like yeah we already know that’s why he’s broke
In this case its illegal gambling and wire fraud. Not normal expenses.
… so stop spending the money. Give me a break I’ll never feel bad for a millionaire they can fuck right off
You could’ve just said they’re bad with money without all those extra words
Everyone looks at these guys salaries and makes the math in their heads relative to their own expenses and think it should last forever. But these guys have expenses to match. A regular NBA guy probably only keeps about 20⁄30% of his check after all his expenses, same as us. That will be a lot more money than we have of course, so it lasts a bit longer, but if they dont adjust their expenses after retiring it burns up quickly. Money is way easier to spend than earn.
Yep. They make stupid money, and buy insane cars and houses that cost stupid money. They aren’t as ahead financially as most of us would assume.
The best thing a professional athlete could do is buy a reasonable home, not a mansion. Buy a cool car, not an insane car. Put the savings away.
But most of them do not
whose that dude who sleeps on a matress on the floor in a sleeping bag.
theres a baseball pitcher, trevor may on yt, who did a bunch of time in the pros and has broken down how much money he made as not a starter. it was a lot of money but it also wasnt im 36 and will be set for life money,
Even more than buying mansions and cars, I think the leeches around them are the worst. Watch Starting 5 and look at how many people are eating out of Ants and Butlers hands. These huge entourages players have that do everything with them and go everywhere just bleed a lot of money.
But yeah, if you kept like 70 million off your paychecks when you retire, and you needed to have been good for that, and your mansion and car collection cost a million or two alone to maintain every year and you have got 50 something years to go before dying, you are not on a good track
This post makes no sense and misses the whole point. Yes expenses are relative but they are choosing to spend more than they make. That’s the point. If I became an nba player tomorrow my expenses don’t have to go up 100x.
Actually I disagee with this. You do. If you became a professional NBA player, you have to adjust to being able to stay in the league and keep producing in order to be proficient at NBA level. That requires some level of buy-in. You have to buy into proper nutrition, trainers, personal doctors/therapists, assistances, lawyers, agents, financial advisors and personal transportation in order to maximize your potential and being as productive as possible.
I think we imagine the idea of playing a sport and that’s it and in reality no career functions or is as simplistic in its demands like that.
Your expenses are to some level of degree adjenct to the career and the demands of it. Silicon valley techs don’t live a box and drive beaters even though they very much could.
Yeah everyone thinks that before they start earning tons of money haha. Naive thinking.
Nothing you said here explains how about person blows millions. There has to be an emptiness inside of you to do somerhong like this. It’s not just simple mismanagement of money. I live well below my means because I don’t need material possessions and endless shopping sprees to feel anything
How does any person at any incomeLevel go broke? That’s literally what you’re arguing to be explained lol
Taxes, child support, lots of bills, giving money to friends/family, spending the rest to live a rich lifestyle. Most NBA players think they can make that money back.
If he wasn’t a NBA player, he’d be a junkie.
Who says he isnt.
I’m pretty sure it’s a guy named Eddie.
One thing people have to realise is that with certain people “pay check to pay check” isn’t a certain number amount or income indicator. There are people that if you pay them 100,000 a week they’d spend it within that week, the more their income changes the more they spend. No amount of financial skill teaching will overcome low IQ.
There’s guys in the league that would go broke with LeBron’s income.
You dont have to be that stupid to not truly understand the future comes fast when you are young and everything you do works out. Beasley has some stupid to spare though, so nothing here is a surprise.
Rims!
Incredibly common in the NBA
Yeah but they don’t get half that
Gambling, you can burn through quite a bit of money gambling, and that shit is an illness like any other
You’d think until it happens to you
No not really. I can manage my finances just fine, speak for yourself lol
We’ll never know that
Yes we will. I’ve managed my money just fine when I was poor making $15k/year, and now having 20x that with a new job and wife’s dual income. Nothing has changed. I don’t fuck up when it comes to money. It’s not hard, it’s literally just math.
If you don’t have a custom spreadsheet tracking your money, you’re doing it wrong.
I know he did it to himself but this shit sad
Very. No joy in mocking him, he’s still a young dude. He’ll look back and it’ll hurt a lot more than now
Is he selling these? He mentioned “giving them away”. Either way, this shit is really sad. And the way he’s smiling in the beginning of the video, my man looks a bit unhinged honestly.
Why do you feel bad for someone given everything then acting like a shitty person and losing it all?
idk empathy or something
Which part of that do you empathize with ?
He’s a human being who has issues. Idk his backstory or how those issues developed so I’m not just gonna sit here and judge him.
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent
Ever been raped? Pretty sure thats worse no?
Jesus Christ shut the hell up
😭 what’re you on about
The eyes Chico they never lie
This dude dated Scottie Pippen’s ex btw
Who hasn’t dated her
At this point in the league, only Jr probably
And was teammates with pippen jr
It was at the same time on the lakers.
That bitch is dirty lmao
Is that supposed to be an accomplishment
It’s more about his decision-making
Just seems like a dumb dude. Honestly feel bad for him somehow lol
Oh shi my bad didn’t know :(
When did he do this?
Dude is a Pos but you might as well get the details right
yeah thats on me
he still pointed an ar at a couple tho https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30867715/timberwolves-malik-beasley-sentenced-sept-arrest
Was it in self defense?
hes just dumb dawg
So you are saying he didnt beat his wife?
This dude was having a great season, was about to have a very good contract, and he goes down to this.
It’s sad to watch.
Since when has he been a domestic abuser?
That’s not domestic abuse
Bro really fumbled so hard all just for sports gambling lol
Bro’s only been out of the league for one year, holy shit.
I actually wasn’t wondering, but thanks
there is still a piston fan out there who thinks he is the missing shooter to get them a ring
Whatever else he is, Beasley is undeniably a great shooter.
Not on the lakers
Our subreddit was full of bozos spouting that stuff lmao.
He looks like Wonder Man
He’s been doing this for months. Down bad.
Damn, dude really blew it. It’s not too late to get his shit back on track though, he’s not even 30 yet.
League would never allow him to play again
Euroleague is good money
He could probably dominate in china too
Can he leave US ?
He’s not allowed to leave the US.
Which is dumb because NBA is all about betting now. Kalshi, Bet365, Polymarket. Hell we can go back in the early 2000s with mf Tim Donatello whatever his last name is
Only reason him and Terry Rozier aren’t in the league anymore is because the feds got involved. The league investigated them both and said they found nothing. They would’ve punished them under the table and swept it under the rug just like the Michael Jordan situation.
Well said.
Terry Rozier wouldn’t be in the league even if the Feds didn’t come he’s washed.
MJ situation? I’ve heard he went to the LLB due to some gambling situation but I’m not fully aware. I’m sure others are uninformed as well, if you don’t mind explaining.
I’m not following how the gambling partnerships wouldn’t just be more reason to keep somebody manipulating stats out of the league?
How is that dumb?
They are partnered with those companies. Why would they allow a player to come back who defrauded those companies?
It’s Tim Michelangelo
China would, Euroleage would. He’s got options, he’s just gotta decide what he wants for his life.
Not when he’s been federally indicted. He can’t leave the country
True. Such an idiot and waste of talent.
That’s the face of a man who lost out on a $40M NBA contract.
40 million American dollars
Life comes at you fast man
Dude was on our roster (Lakers) for like 2 years and the five minutes he was available to play we wished he wasn’t
Man I remember when he dropped 8 or 7 3s in one game with us and we all thought we finally had our shooter
this is crazy
I bet he is little bit desperate now.
