Beasley Bewildered By Draft Doubters

So instead of picking the guy with the “attitude” problem, you want to draft the one whose one-year career with the Trojans now seems mired in scandal and fraudulent charity accounts.

 

Yeah, I see you’re really concerned about avoiding bad publicity Riles.

 

As for the media, they’d rather talk about how I’m shrinking than about my game.  Sure the media guide lied; they always add height to every player!  I never said I’d be your center, but I am tough physically and mentally to take the bumps and bruises of the NBA.

 

Let’s be honest: Alonzo Mourning is not getting any younger and Udonis Haslem is not exactly an NBA all-star.  If you think you’re holding on to Shawn Marion forever, good luck.

 

Otherwise, you need someone to help put the pressure of the injury-plagued Wade and I'm your guy. 

 

So I hope you come to your senses and draft me.  If not, you better hope my team never plays yours because I will torch your team while Wade watches on the bench in his million-dollar three-piece suit.

 

So don’t call me, I’ll call you.

 

Sincerely,

Michael Beasley
