Beasley's New Beginning

[NEkansasCat]

Michael off to a nice start with the Timberwolves in their first preseason game. 21 pts in 18 minutes....plus a Manhattan, KS reference on SportsCenter!

Damn, Beaz vs. Walker Wednesday in Paris.

[fatty fat fat]

didn't catch the mhk reference. 

[Clifford Dave]

Minnesota is a legit opportunity for Beasley to rise as a superstar.

[WillieWatanabe]

He freelanced a little bit too much for me, but that's the way he is.

Oh Beas. 

[kitten_mittons]

didn't catch the mhk reference. 

He just said something along the lines of him playing great in Manhattan.

Oh Beas.

It's not like Kurt is going to bench him.

Beasley relegated to background in new Marvel Comics Timberwolves cover...



That's supposed to be him wearing #8, apparently. 

Marvel made covers for every team.

At one point during an officials' review, Michael Beasley sat on the scorers' table and chatted with Bucks TV analyst Jon McGlocklin, who asked him about Minnesota's weather.

"I'm already freezing," Beasley quipped after being dealt from Miami in a trade that helped the Heat clear salary cap space to sign LeBron James and Chris Bosh.

He would probably relate with the comic book cover, then. Better buy some warmer clothes, Beaz, it's gonna get a lot worse.

STARE-DOWN

Did you see Beasley walk forward after missing a free throw in each of the team's first preseason games, tilt his head and glare at the rim?

WELL, HERE'S THE STORY:

"That's a college job," said Beasley, who played one season at Kansas State. "Luis Colon was my college center. He's a big Spanish guy and when big Spanish guys get mad, they start speaking Spanish real fast. Every time he missed, he'd look at the rim and curse the rim out. So every time I miss, I'm trying to get the gremlin off the top of the rim."

[WillieWatanabe]

We love you Beas.

The one in the back with the headband looks more like Mike IMHO.

Fantastic.

Especially the end:

Dime: How good do you think you are right now?
MB: I’m at the bottom of the barrel. And I’ll say that because it gives me a reason to fight for the top.

Wolves pregame on fsn right now.

You've never been to the hood.

Beasley measured 6'8 1/4 with shoes on at the pre-draft camp.

[Paul Moscow]

Beaz with 28 and 5 tonight in a loss. He's averaged 32.5 points per game over the last 4.

Pretty key TO to lose the game.
