Michael Beasley enter rehab

Former Wildcat stand-out and Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley has reportedly checked himself into a rehab facility. According to Yahoo! Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Beasley checked into a rehabilitation hospital in Houston. Wojnarowski said the Heat encouraged Beasley to go to the facility to “address possible substance and psychological issues.”
Several disturbing posts had been made on Beasley’s Twitter page over the past days, and could have stemmed from a photo that he posted of himself and his new tattoo. The issue with the photo is the small plastic bag in the background, which many people speculated contained marijuana. His Twitter page was shut down on Saturday night.
The photo is not the only thing you can find in the twitter. According to a cached version of his deleted Twitter profile, Beasley tweeted late Friday: "Feelin like it's not worth livin!!!!!!! I'm done." Four hours later he said: "not feelin this at all!!!!!" It seems that Michael is getting through a depression period. And I hope the rehab can help him to get out of it.
This wouldn’t be Beasley’s first run-in with the drug. He was fined $50,000 last summer at a rookie camp with for being in a room where marijuana was found. Former KU stars Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were also in the room with him.
While I care about the matter, I talk about it, just because he is a member of my favorite team, not that I am judging him. what if Michael did smoke marijuana, lots of people do, especially NBA players, I don’t think it is a big deal anyway neither did Beasley has any serious substance abuse problems. Under a certain pressure people may well do that.
