Beasley and Chalmers: The Connection Continues
NBA September 15th. 2008, 11:15am
This interesting photo was kicking around an NBA message board two weeks ago: Recent NBA draft picks Michael Beasley (seated, playing with dominoes) and Mario Chalmers (standing and presumably wondering why someone was taking his photo) hanging out somewhere.
While speaking with some people Friday about this picture - it is being heavily discussed for reasons which may be more clear when you look at the larger version, after the jump - questions lingered: Is it really Beasley and Chalmers? (Here’s another photo of Beasley which at least confirms one of his arm tats.) Was it taken during the NBA rookie transition program, you know, the one Chalmers was booted from? (We’ve heard no.)
We have no idea who took the photo, or whether it was photoshopped, but let’s see if the Florida media pounces on it.

Bones!

“holy shit thats some responsible journalism tbl” moleman
You must of stopped at the wrong site. This is a sportsblog, not a newspaper. Mindless, irresponsible speculation and accusations are part of the deal.

Bhahahahahahhahaha.

Are those white dominoes or rolling papers?
September 15th, 2008 at 11:23 am
What’s the big deal?

Kids these days are just stupid. No one thinks about how someone taking their photo with a blunt in their hand can affect their multi-million dollar career. If it is one of your boys who is taking the photo don’t you tell him not to be a jackass and not take a photo with you and a j?

Point to Moleman.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:25 am
dont get me wrong though, shits hilarious
September 15th, 2008 at 11:26 am
it’s a photo, moleman. I haven’t speculated about anything.

why is a lighter on the table? they dont smoke cigs
September 15th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I have serious doubts that this is real because I am hoping these two can’t be that stupid. I am prepared to be disappointed.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Irish, don’t need to smoke cigs to own a lighter.

If they are getting him, why would they be smoking with someone with a camera?
What kind of entourage member takes incriminating photos and then posts them online? Doesnt that pretty much ruin your career as a hangeron?
September 15th, 2008 at 11:28 am
That is clearly a blunt, this guy is hilarious.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:28 am

Smoking accessories are for tobacco use only.
/silly disclaimer no one follows.

@cbh- chalmers just got busted in the hotel? what gives you reason to think this is fake?
September 15th, 2008 at 11:29 am
He might just like smoking the blunts as they come, kinda like how people need gigantic bongs to smoke tobacco.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Irish, it was never confirmed Beasley was in the room with them, and PhotoShop gives me reason to think it is fake, any picture can be doctored these days. Plus, the stupidity factor.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:31 am
The team Beasley shirt really gives it away for me. I personally like these pics tbl. Nothing harmful in these from your standpoint. Us commenters will do all of the speculating for you. I will say though, Beasley looks super happy…

It seems no ones noticed they’ve got cell phones too. Clearly they are into drugs. ~shakes head in disgust~
September 15th, 2008 at 11:31 am
It’s like Mario is trying to give away his status as greatest Jayhawk ever.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:32 am
cbh makes a fair point. There’s a distinct possibiity that this is some Photoshop work. But, and this is a big but, his other hand does look ready to take the J.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Who are the people that looked at that Lee Harvey Oswald pic? Get them on this.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:34 am
They’re probably dead.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:35 am
All I got to say is you got the college player of the year and the Final Four MOP. Not much of an argument against smoking the evil weed. These guys attained greatness while high.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:36 am
NBA players smoking weed isn’t anything new. Its what they do.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Wilt may like a word.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:38 am
PhotoShop is a blessing and a curse but thx to it, I have been able to claim that at least half of the embarrassing photo’s of me are just friends playing with Photoshop.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:38 am
questions lingered: Is it really Beasley and Chalmers?
Dumbest question ever. Who the fuck asked that?
You should’ve created a second jump, this time with an EVEN BIGGER picture.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:39 am
“It’s like Mario is trying to give away his status as greatest Jayhawk ever.
Wilt may like a word.”
Danny Manning wishes to speak with him first.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:42 am
What does this have to do with Beasley firing his agent?
September 15th, 2008 at 11:43 am
is that tweezers next to the book in the bottom right of the big pic? i love this game
September 15th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Kirk Heinrich would like the final word…
September 15th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Chalmers next excuse should be he didn’t inhale.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:44 am
Paul Pierce will tell you he was the greatest Jayhawk ever
September 15th, 2008 at 11:45 am
I hope it’s at least good weed. Then it’d totally be worth it.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Is there a reason the heat just locked up Chris Quinn?
September 15th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Maybe I’m naive when it comes to drug stuff, but the thing he’s holding looks more like a swisher sweet or a clove to me than it does a blunt.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:47 am
@ sportsgal: blunts can be any size
September 15th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Neither Wilt nor Manning tied the national championship game. Obviously both of them were better, but I was like 4 months old when Manning did his thing, so Mario gets the nod.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:48 am
+1 SG I forgot about cloves. You should be their publicist.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:50 am
I was saying it looks like a clove because of the color of the paper, not because of the size.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:52 am
@ Sportsgal: Oh well then this should answer your question
September 15th, 2008 at 11:53 am
I used to get down with chocolate phillies.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:54 am
This one is easy to to get around because of what Sportsgal said. No one knows if there was marijuana in there.
but there was.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Is Photoshop easy to use? I bought it with my new computer but havent got to mess with it.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:59 am
NBA players smoke weed.
Who knew?
September 15th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
cool_rick - In a word, no. The full version of Photoshop is a monster. If you’re planning on using it to it’s full usefullness, buy some books and goto a class or two.
September 15th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Come on TBL, be serious. Look at the comments and tell me you’re not helping further notion that Beasley is a pot smoker.
September 15th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Did a Snorlax walk in that room? Beasley couldn’t look more sleepy.
September 15th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Hey people, let’s not go crazy here. Who says they were smoking pot? They could have just been getting ready to snort some Ritalin.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:41 am
NBA players? Stupid? No freakin’ way!
September 19th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Oh. And that’s NOT a lighter sitting on the table. It’s a limited-edition Isiah Rider Pez dispenser.
