All of you have been extremely generous and helpful and made my task so much easier.”

Wednesday afternoon, Beasley’s website http://www.michaelbeasley8.com was no longer working.

Aug. 5: Beasley Pushes Fan at NY Exhibition Game (NBC Sports)
Oct. 21: Spotty Turnout, Few Stars at Beasley Charity Game
Oct. 26: Beasley Lawsuit Alleges Improper Benefits (Washington Post)

So while the NBA remains locked out, it’s back to the drawing board for the Michael Beasley image campaign.
