Beasley talks about bankruptcy in his monologue because his family spent his money and the CPA stole the rest. So Beasley said he slept in the car from 2021 to 2023, not even $5.39 to buy his favorite Checkers & Rally’s famous experienced fries. Worse, no one was there to help him when he was at his lowest point.

Beasley says he's afraid to admit he's afraid
In the longer video of the interview, Beasley admits he is bankrupt, which he blames on the IRS, his “baby mom” (note, plural) and his accountant.
He also talked about how his family spent too much money while his CPA took the rest of his bank account. Mike admitted that he would have stopped Kobe's shooting as early as his third year in the NBA, but had no money in his bank account.

Beasley also claimed that during these difficult times, those close to him did not bother to check him out because they thought he was OK because he always projected an image of confidence to the outside world. Deep down, Mike said he was as scared as anyone in a situation, but he was too scared to admit anyone.
He said he turned to basketball and was able to keep his gut attitude and survived his ordeal.
“I tell these kids at my gym, like 'Yo, do you want to be Michael Beasley or Kevin Durant?” He added.

“Do you get it? They get it. I told my kids. I said, 'Yes, I'm one of the best basketball players ever. Do you want to be that? No job? Or you want to play ni, like on the ball – making 40 million a year, Draymond said, ' Beasley said.

“I won't talk to anyone,” Beasley said. “I've reached out and I've reached out so much that I have to die with some kind of dignity…I know it's not sustainable, but at the same time, who am I going out with?” I've been trying to find good people for so long, I'm tired, brother. ”
Mike is one of the most talented barrelers of all time, and the best players in NBA games, even the game admits he is your favorite player.
However, he also deals with many individual demons who have destroyed their NBA career.

Often, people blame his fate for his immaturity and indifference. But when you fight alone, that's what really drags people to the bottom.
Fortunately, Beasley has basketball requests. He may still be bad today, but at least he is still in one aspect.
