Beasley Admits Tito Comments Affected Play

Michael Beasley admitted to letting Charles Barkley's comments affect his game.

"He can say what he wants," Beasley said Wednesday. "He can call me a Tito, call me New Edition, he can call me whatever else. I kind of let that upset me, which messed my game up a little bit. My little slump was a little longer than expected.

"I don't care. I'm playing. I'm going to play. He can call me Tito, he can call me SpongeBob. He can call me whatever he wants."
