This season took a unique turn, with the health and safety protocols coming in. Former league veterans got their chance to show they still got it and many old faces impressed. However, there were still some veterans who didn’t get their chance to showcase their skills. Recently, A former Knicks and Lakers guard took on an NBA player and crushed their team in the open gym.
Michael Beasley lived up to his open gym image and went on a tear against Houston Rockets’ John Wall and his team.

Veterans coming back into this league was a big step this season. With teams not having enough players, some vets got their ticket back into the league. Unfortunately, Beasley never got his shot. So he showed everyone he still got it by beating Wall’s team.

An open gym and Michael Beasley share quite the relationship. While the former NBA star may not have hit in big in the league, in an open gym he is a different animal. Likewise, while taking on Wall, he was at his best. And he made sure his opposition gets a piece of his mind.
Beasley gave out insults such as, “I’ll barbeque them all one one”. The former Knicks man proceeded to go all out against the team and couldn’t stop scoring. No matter who was on him, no one could stop Beasley in that gym as both stars went at each other.
