Today was the first day back for Michael Beasley to the Heat camp. This is like the best day to me, I've been waiting forever for this day to come. For people that didn't know where he was for the past month that have been living under a rock, he went to a rehab in Houston, Texas to address a drug problem that he was facing.Now that is over and he is back, the best thing about all of this, is that the Heat never gave up on him no matter what. Coach Eric Spoelstra and other coaches went to visit Michael while in rehab and working with him.
"We want to bring him back to the family, bring him back in here. We're 100 percent behind him. We've invested in him, not just financially but emotionally. We've spent a great deal of time with him this summer, trying to develop him on the court but also off the court. He's ready. He was excited to be back here. We have great structure here within the franchise and I think what the NBA and everybody saw is that we're 100 percent behind him. We are with him every step of the way and we're expecting great things from him this year." stated by coach Spoelstra.
Michael was not available for comment Monday. No specifics about his treatment have been released, with either the Heat and the people close to Michael citing privacy concerns. He will be with the team when training camp opens officially on Tuesday, September 29. Other players kept in touch with him during the past month through text messages and Twitter."I have no concern at all. He's working out,he's staying in shape, he's keeping himself sharp. It's not like he doesn't know the plays and with Beas, if all else fails, he'll shoot it. So he'll be fine when he gets back. stated by Heat forward and captain Udonis Haslem.
Through everything that Michael has been through, team president Pat Riley, coach Spoelstra, and many teammates have stated that Mike is still valued. no matter what others think about him (haters), the Heat still has his back 100 percent of the way. Can I say that this is one of the best organization in the NBA that will always be there for you. During the summer coach Spoelstra said that Mike was filled with plenty of on-court 'work development.' Before going to Houston, he spent about two months working with the Heat. Since the end of last season, he has gotten faster and added 10 pounds of muscle while maintaining a low body fat. H e also has already taken a team conditioning test and 'blew it away....he's in phenomenal shape.' YEA BUDDY!!!
"Physically, you'll see he looks different, He's just bigger. When you talk about a guy who's that talented, and then you really start to develop the fundamentals and the details of his game, you see dramatic improvement in a short period of time. That's exciting." coach Spoelstra.
The Heat are planning to ask Mike to play bigger roles also. I guess that trip to rehab only helped to make him better,and unlike some people who go to rehab, it ended for the better and not the worse for him. I'm just so happy that he is back. I miss
his playful smile and how you can tell he is having fun on the court with his gorgeous green eyes (can't lie, I have the biggest crush on that man lol..sshhhh don't say anything).WELCOME BACK MICHAEL!!!!!! :)
To all the haters out there also, the tatt is still sexy and Beas still is the best.. HATERS!!
