Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. Man, how y'all lose to the Spurs? I didn't play. I played the one, two games. If Spoh would have played me, we'd have won. They couldn't figure. Watch the game I played in San Antonio. I scored like eight points in like two minutes. It was like the end of the game.
But it was like if Spoh would have played me, they wouldn't have had no answer for them. But I was in the suit the whole game. So don't say y'all anything. Spoh didn't like me. Why? Because I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I really don't. But I thought the objective is to try to win a game. You ain't got to like the player. If the guy's going to help me win, I don't care.
If you got a player that's per 36, my per 36 matchup with the Maude DeRozans, why am I not paid like it? Why haven't I played like it? Right. So, yeah, logic applies to us all, but when it comes to Michael Beasley, it just doesn't. My whole career, go watch it. I've always watched more than half the game, and my numbers show that I should be playing more. Right.
But for some reason, people just took my thoughts and opinion as great in the test, and I got judged for being that instead of who I actually am. Were you still in Miami after LeBron left? One year. How was it? Worse. This... Looked at me and set me behind James Ennis in the belief that he was the next LeBron James. I love James too, but Spoh, you wild for that one. I was hot.
The whole year I sat in there, I came back from China. So I had to go bust ass in Shanghai. Yeah. First time, like, whatever. Came back and Spoh literally... Had me sitting behind James Ennis and Sabaz Napier, right? It's like, bro, whatever. He just didn't like me.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Michael Beasley face growing up?
I'm not worried about Balogun. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. You're going to look at stats and numbers. He has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals.
The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us.
USA!

Chapter 7: What does 'We Them Ones' mean to Michael Beasley?
You see this elbow? That elbow goes to your shoulder, and it's just that thin. And that's all you can see. That's literally all you can see. And it's like, that's why I couldn't play basketball. I couldn't understand what I was seeing. The strongest person in my life was a raisin. And then y'all laughed at me. That's a real thing. I really couldn't understand it.
Chapter 8: What are Michael Beasley's future goals in basketball and beyond?
I just really just couldn't understand it. Nope, nope, nope. Did you share that? Did you share that with anybody that your mom was going through that? I couldn't. I couldn't. Y'all laughed. Oh, he got the wrong shorts on. The day of my cousin's funeral. So that's what, so the wrong shorts on, it was your cousin's funeral. The day of my cousin's funeral. I was supposed to be in D.C. that day.
You beat yourself up for not being there, don't you? Wrong shorts. But y'all laughed and didn't ask me why. I just laughed. And then, yeah, I know I had the wrong shorts on when I knew it. But nigga, like I said, they fit the same.
And nigga, I was just trying to, I was like, literally, I looked at the team and said, bro, I'm not getting on this flight because they're going to think I'm lying about people dying. Right. And nigga, I let my nigga die in the car, man. In the situation you said sometimes, You talk about the decisions I made, but you didn't know the choices I had, the choice between. Not just me, all of us. Yes.
You too. Yes, absolutely. Right? We sit here and judge everybody's thoughts like we're grading a test. No, man. Sometimes I gotta let you think it. Sometimes I gotta let you feel it. Sometimes I gotta let you just get it out. Because the more I compress it, the longer it's going to blow and blow and blow and blow. You know what gas does when it's compressed, right? So, nah, man.
Just let people be who they are. Stop judging people so much, man. That shit just nasty. Mike, where would you be without the big three? Because it's three on three basketball, it gives you an opportunity to compete, it gives you an opportunity to play the game that you love. But if you didn't have that, I look at your ring, is that the championship ring? Two time back to back MVP?
I like Ice Cube. You like you. Prior to the big three, what were you doing prior to the big three? I'm out of my business, trying to raise my kids. Just playing, just going to the gym, hooping. Paying $1,500 a month for a phone bill because, you know, I got that many of them. Just going to the gym with him every day. Just minding my business. Wasn't I? I don't care about this social shit.
I don't care about these podcasts or these big threes. I was just happy being depressed about not being in the NBA. You were depressed about not being in the NBA? At first, I was. Like, yeah, nigga, you just told me Kevin Durant's still playing and I'm a year younger than him. You don't think I want to still be? You don't think I still?
Yes. Absolutely.
Nigga, yeah, heartbroken. And then when it comes time for my insurance, right, I got to pay a copay because I played 12 years in the NBA. Right. But they only giving me nine years of service with like three or four games missing. Right. It's like, bro. So you want to go back and get those three games and then you be straight? Yeah, bro. I got to pay for insurance for 10 kids because y'all fuck up.
