About this listen

Theo welcomes Michael Beasley for an honest, unfiltered conversation about his life on and off the court. Beas reflects on being out of the NBA, the criticism around 1-on-1 play, and his PG County roots. He opens up about the “weed” and “thug” stigmas, growing up with KD, and choosing Kansas State. Beasley relives leaving college, draft night, and adjusting to a new NBA crowd while trouble continued to follow him. He talks Miami, hating his time in Minnesota, losing his mother, and ultimately accepting life after the league. The episode closes with Big 3 talk and “We Them Fruits.”
