Michael Beasley and Dwight Howard go back a long way. The former NBA players are currently rivals in the Big 3 league. But before that, they also went to the same high school while growing up. Therefore, they know a lot of personal things about each other.
The duo appeared in an interview with Chris Haynes and Ice Cube and casually had a hilarious confrontation over their history. They were talking about how nervous Beasley was when he first met LeBron James, and Howard recalled meeting Beasley in high school. Here’s how their conversation went.
Howard: “I met you in high school.”
Beasley: “Ni*** you were trying to f*** my sister. Yeah, you don’t remember, yes n****”
Howard: “You lying bro”
Beasley: “Yes n**** her name is Sydney n****”
Ice Cube: “I didn’t know that you know that is a deal breaker bro.”
Beasley: “I ain’t gonna sit here and lie, I get her to call right now”
Howard: “When!?”
Beasley: “When we were in high school, I met you before you met me, you were famous, Dwight, I wasn’t. I was a hood n***a.”
Dwight: “Where was your sister when I met her?”
Beasley: “Bro, we were in LA when I found out that you were talking to her. But I don’t know where the f*** n****”
Howard: “I met you in high school, you and KD at the top 100 camp. I saw KD and said, “KD, you’ve got a choice.”
Beasley: “I wasn’t supposed to be there.”
Howard: “But both of y’all were there, and they had me come talk to both of y’all.”
Beasley: “I do remember that but I didn’t know you was trying to f**k my sister.”
Howard: “I was not. Show me how your sister looks, cause all of you are tripping.”
Ice Cube: “Dwight, you are a married man.”
Howard: “I’m trying to remember who this person is.”
Beasley: “She’s 6’1, I’m just going to say that you know you like’em tall f***ing a****le”
Howard: “I never treated you badly.”
Beasley: “No, you didn’t treat me badly. But I’m just saying if I’d have known now, I’ have treated you badly.”
