Beasley "This is an opportunity to get better. It's an opportunity to grow as a person"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
That's "therapy talk" for those who are unaware.
Beasley "At this point, I just want to play basketball"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Believe it or not, that's exactly what we want at this point, too!
Beasley "I've taken a different path to the top of the mountain"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Yes you have, possibly even the path that Frodo took to get to Mount Doom.
Beasley "I'm still learning and growing as a player"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Beasley "I'm going to bring my blood and sweat. I'm going to play hard"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Beasley has a tattoo that says "Married to the Game" with a basketball and a wedding ring
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Word! Let's hope his nuptials went over well and that he consummates the marriage in Memphis.
Beasley on what position he'll play "Um 3, 4, 5, 6. That's up to the coaches"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
He's a small forward so please please give him a shot at the 3 -- we're needing a little help in that area anyway.
Beasley "I'm a father first, now. A lot of people don't know that about me. I wake up at 6 everyday and help my girl get ready"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Beasley "I've learned to be a better me"
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
This is nearly the exact same scenario the Grizzlies saw with James Johnson last year. Could it be an eventual trend that they develop?
Beasley "I see myself as THE HULK!" That's a real quote.
— Chip Williams (@chipwilliamsjr) September 29, 2014
Well then, I have to nerd out and wonder if he means Lou Ferrigno or Mark Ruffalo.
