Why we shouldn’t assume things about NBA players

[FreeThrowLine]

So this just came up on my YouTube feed and I thought it was going to be clickbait, but sadly it ended up shedding some light on what I’d previously just assumed was Beasley being high.

I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that, but this gives some perspective and is a good reminder that these guys don’t have perfect lives. There’s more to life than being young, rich, famous and in good shape

I feel bad for Beasley, he never lived up to expectations and he doesn’t seem like a bad guy.

It’s crazy how the top 3 picks from that draft didn’t live up to expectations, Rose due to injuries, Mayo to a combination of factors such as drug use & injuries and Beasley it seems struggled with a lack of support when he needed it most

I find it really hard to feel bad for someone who made over $40m in 10 years

what does that have to do with this?

Ty Lawson, Durant, and Beasley all went to school together and grew up close, it is sad that both Lawson and Beasley had so many demons that it ruined both of their careers. It does make you wonder how Durant and Jeff Green made it out of that area and have had such long successful careers.

this is the result of ppl reading all these stories on the internet imo, some this binary no-empathy thought pattern has become so prevalent. If this was your brother or your best friend and their dad died nobody is going to be like, "you're making some good money, making a mistake because youre in emotional shock is for weaklings" If I gave anyone here michael beasly's money and you went to work and screwed up because you were greiving and we all started laughing at you, you would feel no different than michael beasly. Why is this hard for people to understand.

Great point. I hate hearing that comment from people. Money aint everything. Being rich doesnt shield someone from human emotions.

People who say money isn't everything typically have enough money for their basic needs.

This is a short video that people should watch about how it use to be in the US and why people wanted to get more money.

Did Michael Beasley die? Did I miss some terrible tragedy in his life?

I don’t understand what there is to feel bad about? He had a 10 year career, made a lot of money, and he’s still playing.

This comparison makes absolutely no sense in the context of the conversation.

If you want to feel bad for someone feel bad for a guy like delonte west.

I guess we’re supposed to somehow feel bad for people who didn’t live up to their expectations?

What’s the point of spending your emotional energy feeling bad for a guy who was wildly successful.

Some people worry about the weirdest stuff

You're really not thinking.

Beasley lost his close cousin THE SAME DAY as the pants incident and mother earlier in the year.

My best friend committed suicide and my grandson was tortured and murdered by his father, and I'm supposed to feel sorry for people who didn't live up to expectations? Smh
