Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley
checked into a rehab facilityin Houston over the weekend, just days after a photo of the number two overall draft pick with what may have been a bag of pot made waves on
sports blogsacross the country.
Beasley posted the photo to his Twitter page on August 19. The image centers on the basketball player's newest tattoo: the phrase SupercoolBeas inked across his back with a pair of red glasses dangling from the "S". On a table in the background, however, is a plastic bag with what looks like it could be pot.
News broke early Monday that Beasley checked into an unnamed 30-day rehab program, and by then his Twitter account (GorillaBeas) was closed. (And his father's account was made private.)
But a search of the cached pages shows a number of troubling (and exclamation-point laden) messages from the 20-year-old former Kansas State standout.
At 10:48 p.m. on August 18, the night before Beasley put up the photo, he wrote a mysterious note:
"1life 2live"
On the afternoon of August 21, from his phone, Beasley typed:
"Y do I feel like the whole world is against me!!!!!!! Back on my FTW!!!!! I can't win for losin!!!!!!!!!!"
(The other tweets, and the questionable photo, after the jump.)
