Lebron was better than Kobe even before Kobe's injury.

Those dudes that did coke and ended up dead or out of the league

[Noyze]

Nope, because he was overrated to begin with. Beasley is nothing more then another tweener, and we all know tweeners don't lead winning teams. They score alot of points on losing teams but never start for winning ones...Except Charles Barkley.

I'm still trying to figure out why everyone thinks he's talented. I think over the course of his seven year NBA career it's been proven that he is exactly what he seems to be. Let's see, he had one great year in college and one decent year in the NBA. So that's two better than average years out of eight. So two good years vs six bad ones. I think that explains the type of player he is. I was being nice and using his college year as something that could make you think he was talented. However, there have been oodles of players who were studs in college whose games didn't translate to the NBA.

Tim Thomas.

During their Bucks' days, Ray Allen use to tell reporters that TT could be the best player in the NBA, if only he could give a shit.

Tim Thomas should've been a monster. Derrick Coleman should've been a HoFer too. Rasheed Wallace should've been better than he was. Chris Webber was among the best prospects I'd ever seen (although his issues may have had more to do with health).

But all of those guys at least put together admirable pro careers, even if they weren't what many had envisioned.

Beasley hasn't even done that. But I am inclined to agree with both Noyze and Chocolate Thunder. He was a tweener to begin with, and I'm not sure he was ever that great a prospect to begin with. Tweeners are historically difficult to figure out. And he wasn't a tweener who was a particularly good shooter at that. I thought Durant was a little bit of a tweener, but he could shoot. And Parker is a bit of that now. Beasley was probably closer to Derrick Williams as a prospect, who's fared just about as well.
