Tracy McGrady brands Michael Beasley a "knucklehead"

Former NBA player Tracy McGrady says that Miami Head forward Michael Beasley is one of a number of "knuckleheads" playing in the league.

Recently-retired shooting guard and small forward Tracy McGrady has said that there are too many "knuckleheads" in the NBA.

The seven-time NBA All-Star highlighted Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley as an example, following his recent arrest and release by the Phoenix Suns for marijuana possession.

McGrady told the Toronto Star: "You've got some guys in the league now who are just knuckleheads. What turns me off is guys doing the wrong thing.

"Just the legal part of it, hanging out, getting these DUIs, marijuana, all that crazy stuff, just doing the wrong thing, setting a bad example for the young guys.

"I don't quite understand it. I take a guy like Beasley. Had all the potential in the world but he's not level-headed. He just doesn't get it. And a very talented player."

McGrady spent 16 seasons in the NBA before announcing his retirement last month.
