Former NBA player, Michael Beasley is again making bold statements. After stating that he beat LeBron James in one-on-one matches, Beasley went ahead and stated that he could beat NBA legend Carmelo Anthony without any difficulty.
The statement was made during a live stream with Adin Ross, where Beasley had earlier made claims about defeating James. However, it seems Anthony does not care about Beasley's challenge and is enjoying his time in Macau, where he was recently spotted with soccer legend David Beckham.

The NBA Hall of Famer took retirement from the game back in 2023, and has been spending more time with family and recently joined NBC as an analyst.
Anthony's no-reply to Beasley's challenge clearly indicates that he is enjoying his retirement and aims to prevent such matches thereon.
On the other hand, the 36-year-old former NBA player recently won a one-on-one match with Pacers' Lance Stephenson and has been making headlines since then. Beasley was once a top player of his time, known for his great defensive tactics. However, continuous legal problems, where the player was linked with drug possession, affected Beasley's career a lot. He started getting fewer opportunities and had to finally retire from the NBA after the 2018-19 season.

Magic Johnson's 'interesting' verdict on Kevin Durant trade rumours: 'He will allow them to get faster...'
It is all but certain that Kevin Durant will make his way out of the Phoenix Suns this summer. But where could the 36-year-old land? With the offseason around the corner, the Suns forward has already been linked to a few teams. Analysing the potential options for Durant, NBA legend Magic Johnson gave his verdict. Durant joined the Suns during the 2022/23 season, but the Arizona team has not quite metdidn't expectations since, having failed to get out of the first round last season and then missing the playoffs this year. The Suns are well aware that they are in dire need of a change, and Durant has been the cynosure of those discussions. Although Phoenix Suns attempted to trade Durant by the deadline, the plan has not yet been implemented. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Suns and Durant's business partner met multiple times over the last week and are contemplating various trade scenarios, as reported on Wednesday. The report also saw Charania list as many as five teams interested in acquiring the fifteen-time NBA All-Star: the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, and New York Knicks. Speaking on ESPN's 'Get Up', Johnson wants Durant to take up the last option. "Kevin Durant, that's an interesting piece," Johnson said. "If I'm the Knicks, the Knicks are too slow. They're not going to beat Indiana next year or these other teams." Johnson then explained how the Knicks, who are still in the hunt for their first NBA title since 1973, can benefit from the deal with Durant. "They got to get a little faster, right? And to me, Kevin Durant will allow them to get faster and be a guy that can help Brunson in the fourth quarter," Johnson added. "You're relying on Brunson so much, one guy can't get you there. You got to give him some help. Kevin Durant will be a guy who will give you some help on the offensive end. Plus, he's able to put the teams that they play against in foul trouble. "I like Kevin Durant playing with the Knicks. I really do. A champion, he can teach the other guys how to win the championship. That would be important. But the main thing here is everybody's got to step up, Jay, and be better next season."
