Don’t ever let anyone tell you that Michael Beasley is not a fan favorite.
The former No. 2 pick received MVP chants from the New York Knicks fans in attendance for Thursday night’s game against the Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden. Take a look:

In a game where Kristaps Porzingis was benched amid an 0-for-11 shooting night, it was Beasley who stepped in and took over. Beasley was dominant in the second half and established a season high for points.
Beasley has been on a great stretch lately for the Knicks. He scored 23 and 30 points in the team’s two previous games. He entered Thursday’s game averaging over 15 points on 51.4 percent shooting for the month of December.
