The Los Angeles Lakers fan base can be great when you’re playing well, but they can also turn into a vicious fan base when they think a player is not doing well enough to help them out.
Malik Beasley is finding that out right now.
The Lakers star is now pleading with Lakers fans who have harassed his wife and family on social media. Beasley has been shooting just 37.8 percent from the field since being traded to the Lakers, which is a lower mark than any season of his career.
However, fans are making the situation worse by trolling his family on his Instagram post.
“It’s my son’s birthday and I am trying to enjoy that,” he said in the comments section of his latest Instagram post. “Obviously I want to be making shots myself. I am harder on myself than anybody. Laker nation it’s only a matter of time. I put in too much work not to.
“I promise when the time to turn up comes, it will come. Let’s just focus on making the playoffs. Positively is the only way forward from here. I love y’all and just show some respect to me and my family…….including @montanayo (his wife, Montana Yao).”

Unfortunately, this has become an all too familiar scene with this fan base when a player is not playing up to their standards.
And now Malik Beasley is asking Lakers fans to leave his family alone.

Beasley’s experience checks out with Patrick Beverley’s recent comments about many Lakers fans.
“I play a bad game with Chicago, I ain’t gotta look on Twitter and hear, ‘He’s a bum, get him outta here!’ Like I was hearing that s*** in L.A,” Beverley said on his podcast.
Beasley is a streaky shooter who has had 13 games this season with five or more three-pointers. He’ll definitely turn it around, but the Lakers are running out of games and time.
Even still, there is no need to be nasty toward the players and their families.
Jason Kidd Reveals The One Key Factor That Helped Luka Doncic Dominate Upon His Arrival In The NBA

After Luka Doncic’s stunning three pointer in the Game 2 win of the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving said that he was not surprised as Luka is built to play like this. As the Mavericks are heading to the NBA finale, head coach Jason Kidd indirectly echoed Irving’s words.
Kidd attributed Doncic’s ability to perform on the big stage to his early career experiences.
“It goes back to him with Real Madrid. Just being on the biggest stage at the age of 15…He is special. He’s one of the best players in the world, and again, he loves the competition,” Kidd said.
Before playing in the NBA, Doncic stunned basketball fans with his prowess in the European League. He kicked off his basketball career with Real Madrid Baloncesto.
Meanwhile, his exceptional performance has been pivotal in the Mavericks’ playoff run, where they overcame home-court disadvantage in every round. He has been the hero of the series, earning the Western Conference Finals MVP after averaging a team-best 28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in 17 postseason games.
Doncic leads the NBA in assists per game (8.8) and total assists (150), outpacing the next player by 27 assists. He has recorded eight games with 10 or more assists, the most in the league, including an astounding 13-assist performance in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

The 2024 playoffs saw the Serbian star rank first in points, rebounds, assists, steals, field goals made, three-pointers made, and free throws made. His all-around excellence has not only led his team to success but has also placed him in elite company. The 25-year-old Mavs’ star is the ninth player in NBA history to average 30 or more points per game in a series win against the top-ranked defense.
