Former Miami Heat player Michael Beasley scored an awesome 63 points in the recent 2016 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league's All-Star and bagged the Most Valuable Player of the Game award for the second time around, but former teammate Chris Bosh did not congratulate the CBA sensation.

"He doesn't text back," Bosh said, via the Palm Beach Post's Anthony Chiang. "That's right, I said it. He does a horrible job at communicating so I gave up."

The ten-time NBA All-star and two-time champion had some praise for him, too. Bosh said that what Beasley is doing in China is "incredible," adding that he'll probably be the second-best player in CBA history after the reigning NBA MVP  Stephen Curry  of the Golden States Warriors.

Bosh was the fourth overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft selected by the Toronto Raptors. Their draft class consists of very competitive athletes and multiple future NBA superstars such as LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony.

During his tenure at Toronto, Bosh emerged as one of the young star in the NBA. He was a part of the US national team that won a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

In July 2010, he moved to the Miami Heat where he became teammates with Beasley and with James and Wade on the team, they managed to win two championship titles in four finals appearances.

According to CBS Sport, in 30 games for Shandong Golden Star this season, Beasley is averaging 31.9 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting 55 percent and 38 percent from 3-point range.

Shandong currently sits at the fourth place in the ongoing season of the league with a 23 win and 8 lose record. Former NBA guard Pooh Jeter, who played for the Sacramento Kings, is also on the team.

Beasley signed with the Heat last year after the CBA season ended. It was his third stint in Miami and had a short 24- game stint with the Heat in the remainder of the last season of the NBA.
