For the briefest of moments in recent Knicks history, Michael Beasley was THE compelling player.
It wasn’t just that he was scoring in bunches for a bad team. He also turned an interview into a zany lecture on the human brain while wearing three watches: one on each wrist, one on his ankle. He was a character. And a sound bite.
Beasley also averaged 13.2 points over just 22.3 minutes during that 2017-18 campaign, hearing ‘MVP’ chants at MSG and donning the backpage of the Daily News.
