Michael Beasley: What a Way to Make a Living

Our overburdened clock-punching rookie laments his rigorous training schedule: "I mean," Beasley said, "I wake up (at) 7:30. I get to the gym about 7:45, 8. I won't leave until about 4 o'clock, sometimes 5 o'clock. He does eat up a lot of my time." Beasley's planet seems like a nice place to live sometimes.

I’m going to say the same thing about this that I said on the truehoop blog when Henry posted about it -

Beasley isn’t actually lamenting anything. He’s just making a statement of fact. He’s very busy, especially for a 19 year old.

If he would have said “god, waking up at 7 is really, really hard” I could see people getting all over him for it…… But that’s not what this is. He was probably asked a question about his schedule by Ira, and he answered.

Did I mention that he’s 19?

Even if he was pouting, that doesn’t make him a diva. It makes him a normal 19 year old.

I’m a college student surrounded by people who haven’t gotten up at 7 in the morning in years. Most of us don’t have a schedule as busy as Beasley’s in our worst nightmares. I’d say he’s doing a pretty good job with it for someone so young.
