HoopsHype: After two seasons, do you feel like you have become kind of a lightning rod for criticism during your career?
Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley: I do. Honestly, I don’t see why. Everybody makes mistakes and I feel like sometimes mine have been magnified. I feel like I’m expected to act older than what I am. I’m not saying that’s a reason to do some of the things I’ve done. But you know, I’m like everybody else: I make mistakes, learn from them and move on with your life.
