A top NBA shooter, who spent $60 million in 9 years and was about to go bankrupt at the age of 29?

Playing a good hand of cards not only ruins one's peak, but also his entire life.

Malik Beasley, a name that will definitely go down in history, not because of how many championships he holds and how many achievements he has achieved, but because of his waste of talent and ability to waste his peak, it is really impressive. He also has the first ability to squander money. He is the first in history. Before he announced his retirement, he has already been debted at $8 million. Most importantly, he is also facing the risk of being suspended and his career is in jeopardy.

"He trained very hard, was a stadium mouse, and was also a great teammate. He was willing to applaud his teammates, and he was also very talented." - Beasley, who was a student at Florida State University coach Leonard Hamilton, was not a humble gentleman, but in the field of basketball, he was indeed a strong man. After all, he was a scorer who mainly focused on shooting. Apart from a large number of shooting training, there was no shortcut to take. In his first season in college, Beasley contributed a report card with an average of 15.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals. He shot 47% from the field and 38.7% from three-pointers. He ranked second in the team in the All-American Rookie Team and the All-Atlantic Coast League (ACC).

has scored in double digits in 24 consecutive games, and is the second newcomer in the ACC league to perform like this after Marbury. At the 2016 draft, the Nuggets brought him into the NBA with the No. 19 draw.

In the next nine years, Beasley's career rose rapidly and fell rapidly.

Since 2020, Beasley has been causing trouble off the court. He was arrested for threatening passers-by with a gun. Later, he was exposed for cheating during marriage and domestic violence against his girlfriend. He was not only sentenced to 120 days in prison, but also was banned by the NBA. It is worth mentioning that most of these things happened in Beasley's best-performing 20-21 season. After dealing with these things, his status in the team also fell to the bottom like his reputation, and later became one of the bargaining chips for trading Gobert.

While playing with the Jazz and the Lakers, Beasley's performance plummeted due to the inappropriate tactical system and became an inefficient spokesperson. His shooting percentage was less than 40%, and his special three-pointers also fell to only 35%. In the summer of 2023, Beasley, who was playing in his year, had to choose to accept a veteran's basic salary from the Bucks. At this time, he finally realized his mistake. He put away his cynical mentality, devoted all his energy to the field, and finally found himself again in Milwaukee.

With an average of 11 points per game and a 41.3% three-point shooting percentage, Beasley received a high salary of $6 million for the Pistons in one year. In this rebuilding team, he continued to catch up with himself at the peak, attending 82 games, averaging 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 319 three-pointers in a single season, second only to Edwards, ranking second in the league. Not only has extremely high output, but also has amazing efficiency, with a shooting percentage of 41.6%.

This summer, Beasley's market experts rose sharply, and many teams expressed their interest in him, especially his boss, Pistons, handed over a three-year, $42 million contract extension, but just after Beasley was about to sign his name, the Pistons immediately withdrew their offer because the FBI involved Malik Beasley when investigating the betting case. He was questioned about playing games (Bucks period). If the investigation is true, Beasley is likely to be suspended for life in the NBA.

A wave has not yet settled and started again. Just when Beasley was deeply involved in the betting case and could not withdraw, a series of debt information was also made public, owing the former marketing company $650,000, owing the former marketing company $27,000, owing the barber $34,000, owing the dentist $5.8 million, and a $5.8 million dispute with lending institutions. Not long ago, he was evicted by the court for owing $21,500 in rent. Roughly calculated that Belgium's debt alone had reached $8 million, so he urgently needed a new contract to resolve the debt crisis.

faces bankruptcy before retiring. Beasley is the first person in the NBA. According to media reports, he has earned a total of $59.22 million in his career in the past nine years. It is true that the tax rate is very high, plus the deposit custodial of the NBA, but he has at least $20 million. This is not considered other commercial endorsements. I really can't figure out where he spent all the money.

Missed a high salary and faced unemployment again. He was beaten to pieces by Beasley with a good hand. Once he was convicted, his life would be ruined.
