NBA - Main

Now I fully expect PatBev to crack Draymond’s jaw if this happens to one of the Sixers.

Wolves lose that game if KAT gets ejected. I’m glad he kept his cool. Also, he did rush over there to try to help Rudy, he just wasn’t an idiot about it

Terrible advice. In season tournament game and who ended up winning? Foh Beverley

Some of these guys seem to forget that they’re playing a game. Professionally and for a lot of money, no doubt, but you’re not soldiers in a platoon fighting a war.

KAT dropping a 33 point double double and winning them the game and still getting hate is the most NBA shit ever

That boy dont want that smoke. Just listen to him. He sounds and looks like he’s probably never jumped a fence before, while running away from the cops.

If an NBA player is doing the opposite of what Pat Bev thinks they should be, they are probably on the right track.

Aye man. In the short term, KAT made the right decision. In the long term? Pat Bev is right, the team looks at Rudy like he’s a scrub bc nobody really retaliated. Think, if someone tried to put Lebron in a headlock, how many of his teammates would be down to ride immediately. They gotta get rid of Rudy and KAT tbh lmao

Lmaoooo people gotta stop taking what players say seriously by default. These guys are GREAT at what they do on the court, but most of them are severely limited in perspective and (not necessarily Pat, but in general) intelligence.

Of course it's Patrick Beverly

Pat Bev is Draymond 2.0 when it comes to puffing out his chest after having toddler temper tantrums.

Pat bev is Angelica from Rugrats

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think its good discipline by the stars to not get involved. Not that this game mattered that much but if the Warriors could sit Draymond if it meant either Ant or Kat would too, they would take that deal every day of the week.

I know people will clown bev and I get why they might not retaliate cos of refs ejecting but it really seemed like they ought to have got on Dray a bit more and not been so calm , at the time anyway . I woukd say it’s smart to ignore it but I remember Draymond punking jaylen brown and then saying their reaction to it was one of the inflexion points of the series. I got no idea but I also think it ought a be role players or less important guys doing it. Say what you want about Dlo but he got right in Banes face n pushed him off AD , low-key saving AD from any ejection trouble too. When bev pushed Ayton last year all lakers fans were for that lol. Even if I’m not clear if it was warranted I think it does mentally effecr players /teams: tho hard to tell.

Who gives a fuck if Draymond thinks he’s tougher than KAT? He’s gonna lose to the Wolves whether he’s on the floor or not. I respect Bev and what he was able to do during his time with the wolves but this makes both Pat and Draymond come across as aging players slipping into obscurity, desperate to stay relevant by forcing a tough guy persona. No one gives a shit if you could beat every player in the league in a fight. This isn’t the UFC it’s the NBA and the only thing that matters in the NBA is winning. And the wolves are stacking W’s.

f*ck KAT man, he doesn't have the DOG in him

fraud KAT

Pat, that's an L take. I respect you. but that is an L take.

Sixers hat in this jaunt is fire

I respected KAT for not retaliating and now I respect him more after hearing he did the opposite of what Pat thinks.

How dumb. That's exactly what Draymond would want. Let's derail our great start to the season with a suspension to prove we're tough to Pat Bev.

I was hoping KAT would choke back too that shit would've been hilarious

Dumb take. KAT tried to stop the fight just like all the other players on both sides. Why would he escalate it and attack Draymond just to prove to fake tough guys like Beverley that he is also tough? Also, risking a long suspension + fines + loss of money and damage to his image & brand?

Should stop asking this dude questions. Wait, never mind, it’s hilarious. This shit is gold.

He shouldn't be surprised because Kat is soft af.

I wish we still had Nikola Pekovic to go in there and lift Draymond up and body slam him to the ground. Not really wishing for that but man that would’ve been great tv lol. Pekovic was a beast

This is dumbass Chicago mentality. "Getback" to infinity.

Stupid take. This is a really dangerous situation.

In Kats and Ants defense. They had first row seats and they saw Green ain’t even applying pressure on that hold. Gobert ain’t even resisting and he’s talking and throwing his hands up like wtf 😂

The blockchain2.0

Chokechain

He right can’t nobody choke my homie like that in my face. Kat soft asf

This seems to be the popular take regarding how KAT reacted and I get it. KAT does a lot of hiding in plain sight. Much like Draymond. But this incident escalates so quickly and you can clearly see that KAT is trying. So is Ant. But there are so many bodies moving at the same time (big bodies) that it’s unreasonable to think that KAT could just impose his will on the situation. Not without other people catching strays.

What’s notable about Bev’s comments isn’t his critique of KAT but that he’s critiquing at all. Either he doesn’t respect his former teammates or he outright doesn’t like them. Did his former teammates earn it?

Let’s not forget this is the man that shoved Chris Paul to the ground from behind after a loss. He sucker-shoved someone!

There’s so much to like about Pat Bev but then he starts talking
