Beasley Offended by "Tito" Jackson Comments

Shapecity · Feb 23, 2010

During the playoffs last season Charles Barkley referred to players, other than Dwyane Wade, on the Heat as "Tito Jackson's" and that bothered Michael Beasley. The team has played a few games without Wade and Beasley was once again talking about the "Tito" reference.

"It's just disrespect," Beasley told the The Miami Herald. "Not disrespect to Tito Jackson. But the way Charles used it, it makes us feel disrespected, a little underrated."

"It bothers them," Wade said of his younger teammates. "I don't see why. Tito and the Jacksons made a lot of money. If I'm them, I have fun with it. You don't want a comment like that to make everybody try to be Michael Jackson. You can't have a team full of Michael Jacksons anyway. No one wants that."

"You don't say things like that about people's craft, especially when you're a playoff team," Beasley told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

"I don't really worry about what Charles says," Wade said. "To me it's a bunch of gibberish. Use that word. It's a bunch of gibberish."
