Confidence is something that Michael Beasley has no shortage of and he proved it again this week when talking about what he wants from his rookie season in the NBA.

"I want to be MVP, no disrespect to nobody," Beasley said Monday. "I don't ever want to be second best. I feel I can walk down those steps to the locker room and be better than everybody else. I think going for rookie of the year is selling myself short."
