After his Detroit Pistons’ loss to the New York Knicks in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan, on Thursday night, Malik Beasley received the meme treatment online.
To end the series and move on to the conference playoffs, the Knicks prevailed 116-113. With his team behind by three points at the end of the game, Beasley made a mistake by allowing a pass to slide through his hands and out of bounds. That error denied Detroit the opportunity to shoot to tie the game and gave the Knicks the victory.Before the game,
Beasley had made some disparaging remarks, claiming that the Pistons were the team with the stronger mentality. That’s why some fans found it so pleasurable to make fun of Beasley after the fact.
