Cunningham led the Pistons in scoring with 32 points while also grabbing 9 rebounds and dishing 7 assists. After that impressive performance, Cunningham was invited to give a postgame interview to Fanduel Sports Network Detroit. While waiting to get started, Cunningham was dapped up by center Jalen Duren, who encouraged Pistons fans to "Get your (All-Star) votes in" for Cunningham.
Duren was followed by Beasley, who offered further backing for Cunningham, although his message was not as family-friendly:

Jalen Duren: "Get your votes in!"
Malik Beasley: "Everybody go vote right now. Go f*cking vote. Excuse my French but... GO. VOTE!" 🤣pic.twitter.com/WOW7ZzHy5w
"Everybody go vote right now. Go f***ing vote. Excuse my French...but GO...VOTE!"
Cunningham is averaging 24.3 points per game this season, so he is worth being in the All-Star discussion. He has also dunked on some opposing players along the way.
As for Beasley, nothing wrong with supporting your teammate, but he needs to wash his mouth out with soap. Come on, man, kids are watching.
