[Big C-Dub]

[Juggernaut]

Another Beasley thread?

Man, the NBA needs to start getting better rumors and shit, for example, what the fuck has happened to David Lee?

Shit seems to be at a standstill right now it seems like.

Once training camp nears, it'll pick back up again.

Didn't the Raptors trade Marcus Banks for Matt Carroll or something?

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

exactly beasley didn't smoke weed nd it wasn't his....even though he has anger issues

You're a sheep if you believe Beas' dad..

 

[The Messenger]

I can't understand if this statement is sarcastic or not. Either way, it fails.

WTF either this didnt happen or im sleeping. I cant seem to find it on Rotoworld..

I sincerely hope NOT.. Carroll is making a ton of money.. I dont even think the trade works financially.

Lol, I'd love for the Mavs to get Banks.

His dad isn't going to say: "Hell yeah son, my son Mike smoked that weed. It was all him."

Again, maybe he did, maybe he didn't. We don't know.

He's only 20, it's not easy for everyone to adapt to the life style of an NBA player.

Yeah dude, playing basketball for a living is hard work.

LOL seriously. I understand if he's had mental issues for awhile, which it seems he has. But don't act like it's a tough job playing pro ball in Miami of all places. Making millions a year. GTFO with that.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Yeah being cast into a millionare in a matter of 1-2 years is tough. Its funny because people think once you get money and are doing something that people dream of, things get easier and better for you. Anyone seen that show on historical lottery winners? Money brings on a whole new set of problems. Hope Supercool Beas gets it togther though

Definitely bro. Most people would hate being paid a salary in the millions. Everyone I know is very glad not to be making that much money and all the problems that come with it.

 

[Miami Flash15]

Money isn't everything and, it can't buy you happiness.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Money isn't everything and, it can't buy you happiness.

No, I guess it can't. But it will give me financial security, allow me to buy a car I want, live in a nice home, and be relatively comfortable for the rest of my days.

Also, if we're applying the money can't buy you happiness argument to Beasley, then shouldn't Beasley be happy playing the game he loves at the highest level you can play it at? He's a good, young, possible future star in this league, so he's got no reason not to be happy.

He is playing basketball, a game, for a living. He doesn't have to worry about deadlines or layoffs, he goes out 82 nights a year, and plays for 48 minutes. Thats it, he plays a game most play in their spare time or in an adult league at the local YMCA.

For some people it works, but for others, it doesn't. Look at all these stars who are addicted to drugs and alcohol and aren't living happily? They abuse drugs and alcohol and sometimes it ends fatally for them. Some people can enjoy the money and etc. like Shaq etc. Some stars don't(not just athletes, movie stars, singers, etc.)

There is a saying that sometimes goes with athletes , too much time and money on their hands .

 

[mgoblue2290]

You live in a fantasy land if you think happiness is affording the car you want. True happiness does not come from obtaining worldly possessions. They only give you temporary false feelings of happiness. No matter how much you love that new car, sooner or later that love goes by the wayside because that car cannot return those feelings of love for you ... unless it's a Transformer, of course. And when it all comes down to it, you'll fall in love with another new car as time passes.

Another thing, you simplify his new life too much. You make it seem like he's only getting paid to go play 82 games a season from October thru April, 48 minutes per game. It's far more complicated than that.

Finally, you know nothing about Beasley the person. All you know about Beasley is that he plays basketball at a higher competitive level than you likely ever will and yet you assume that because he gets paid millions of dollars to play apparently only 48 minutes on 82 nights of action that all mental and physical strains he's ever had in his life miraculously disappear. The human psyche does not work in that fashion.

Exactly what the fuck else is the Miami Heat organization paying him for? Weekly reports on the team's financial situation? They pay him to play basketball and to help his team win games. What I said is exactly what he is paid for, to play 82 games and play 48 minutes per game.

Notice in my post I never said buying the car I want would make me happy, but it sure would help. What do I know, is that Beasley's life is not as difficult as the average American's currently is. Many Americans currently have concerns such as job safety, and whether or not they'll be able to pay their mortgage.

And even Shaq's now ex-wife(?) cheated on him with the pool boy.

Just because they seem happy/alright on the outside doesn't mean they don't have normal everyday troubles like we do. Those type of things don't discriminate, they happen to everyone.

Correct, it happens to a lot of people, people like you and I. But it just isn't public and announced to the entire world because we don't hold that account of fame like they do.
