Michael Beasley has high hopes for the Knicks this upcoming season, and the 28-year-old athlete believes they can be a playoff team if they play their cards right.
During an interview at the Knicks' training facility on Tuesday (September 19), Beasley told the press, "Do I see us better than a 30-win team in Vegas [one Las Vegas sportsbook has the Knicks' over/under at 30.5]? Listen, I don't even go to Vegas. So, yeah, I do. I think we've got a position to be not only a playoff team but a 5-, 6-seed team if we do it right."
Beasley went on to say that he wants to be playing for another 15 years, and he believes that he still has time to be one of the best players in the league. He explained, "I'm still young, bro. I'm 28. I plan to play at least until I'm 43. So you do the math. My career is like none other, I think. I've wanted to be [at a high level] so long, but this or that, whether my fault or someone else's fault, kept me [at a lower level]."
Beasley continued, "I still think I have a chance to be one of the best in the NBA. I'm your favorite player's favorite player. And it's not enough for me for him to know that. I want the world to know that. So I'm still working hard as if I can be the best ever. If you doubt it, if you don't believe it, it will just make my story that much better."
