Michael Beasley likes to reach out and touch someone, as the Kansas State basketball stud tends to carry around up to four cell phones at a time.

The WASHINGTON TIMES dials up what happened when Beasley was getting ready for a recent interview via satellite with Fox Sports’ “Best Damn Sports Show Period”:

As technicians work to fix the audio, the familiar cell phone buzz emanates from the right pocket of Beasley’s black Adidas pants.

“All cell phones off please,” the camerawoman says.

Out of Beasley’s pockets come four devices: an iPhone, a T-Mobile Sidekick, a Verizon LG phone and a Sprint BlackBerry.

Sounds like someone couldn’t decide on a phone plan, so why not use all of them? But having the extra devices can be helpful when everyone keeps asking if your staying in school or jumping to the NBA:

It seems like 100 times a day — too many random people are asking me. My family doesn’t know what I’m going to do, and I don’t know what I’m going to do, but they keep asking. Make that 200 times a day. It’s an everyday thing, but I’ve gotten used to it.

Well, Michael, if you need to talk about it, feel free to give us a call - if you’re able to find a phone.
