Beasley is one of the most popular basketball players to never make an All-Star Game.

Therefore, fans will likely love seeing him interact with Tatum on social media.

The former Kansas State star spoke about Tatum (via The OG's Show) earlier this year.

Beasley: "Jayson Tatum. He tall, he athletic and he understand early how to play on the floor. He understands footwork, he understands double pumps, he understands how wide his shoulders are."

He also said that Tatum could play as long as LeBron James (who is going into this 22nd season).

Beasley most recently played in the NBA during the 2018-19 season when he was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Over 11 years, he spent time with the Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.
