Miami Heat Forward Michael Beasley Goes into Rehab

by Barking Carnival Staff on Aug 24, 2009 2:38 PM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Basketball

From Yahoo sports. I'm trying to feel sorry for the kid, but you had to see this one coming after this picture surfaced on the interwebs. See the bottom right, which seem to be a baggie of pot, or as Vasherized mistakenly calls it, hashish.

Tats are close to godliness

Now unless you're naive enough to think that Michael Beasley is the first NBA player since Robert Parrish to smoke out, this has got to be something else. If I had to guess this is his agent, with help from the NBA perhaps, getting out in front of the PR machine before the drug story surrounding this picture gets unruly.

I mean, unless this dude goes through 30 days of rehab with John Lucas at his side, young suburban white kids won't by Beasley's Heat jerseys, right? I mean tats covering both scapula's are cool as long as we reference God and mix in a couple of angel wings, although the wings are much too small to be of any use aerodynamically to a 6-11 250 lb. dude.

In all seriousnes though, I wish Supercool Beas all the luck in the world especially if he's got a real problem with addiction. But after years of watching the NBA, I'm skeptical considering Phil Jackson writes his scouting reports on hemp paper.

Is there an “inscrutable caption” tag?

At first i thought it was to read “super cool beans” but misspelled.

I guess everyone has failed to see the bag of white “rocks” sitting next to the sack of bud? cool beans…

Am I the first one to notice the open container of 7-Up, a noncaffeinated beverage with excessively high levels of high-fructose corn syrup, next to the weed.

The reading glasses hanging off the S in Supercool, express Mike’s scholarly side.

Along with the glasses, I would also like to commend Supercool Beas on the correct usage of the apostrophe, as he is definitely, God’s Son.

Hook ’em!

I’m reminded of the tattoos in “Dude Where’s My Car?” This is proof that athlete entourages are filled with ‘yes men.’

I thought Jesus Shuttlesworth was God’s son.

I was really hoping the stupidity of tats would make them flame out as a dumbass fad deluxe but I guess not.

what if Michael did smoke marijuana, lots of people do, especially NBA players, I don’t think it is a big deal anyway neither did Beasley has any serious substance abuse problems. If he is not a NBAer in a famous team, maybe nobody would care about this.
