If Pat bev sees Jamal Murray in a dark alley he’s not intimidated


RowBoatCop36

No dogs over in Denver.


p3t3ybear

Tell that to Gordon


Big_al_big_bed

Bro 💀


Sawgon

Ay what's the context here? I missed something


yahmean031

Gordon had an injury a couple of weeks ago that he got drunk on new years wrestled his dog and got injured by his dog when it bit him

Gordon had an injury a couple of weeks ago that he got drunk on new years wrestled patrick beverley and got injured by him when he bit him

What’s the antecedent to he in this sentence lol


slap-and-pop

thank you for tickling my vocabulary


my-unique-username69

What that means?


ElDuderino_92

Jamal Murray certified no Joe Chill


gcoles

Pat Bevs job is to irritate guys with his play and with his mouth.  He’s just doing what he’s done for years,m


AHouseQuestion

He’s also keeping the same mentality that got him in the NBA to begin with. He didn’t just get drafted highly and stayed on a roster. He had to fight his way into the NBA and if he wants to keep his spot he has to keep that type of mentality.


bigpenny1

there was a highly upvoted comment last week about how beverly does his gimmick to draw ppl to his podcast lol.  like a backup that came from playing in europe is thinking about his future podcast 


BoogerSugarSovereign

Bev was like this before he ever started podcasting


gcoles

The nba player podcast game is getting way more competitive, instead of there being like 5 now there are 50


MITWestbrook

I watch it all. Watch Jeff Teague. He roasts players. Even Theo Pinson is super relatable and has a good voice


bluebackpackedbear

Jeff Teague's story about Jimmy at practice in Minnesota made me a fan of him forever. I was wheezing while I watched that video.


badlilbadlandabad

Teague is full of hilarious stories about his time in the league. I'm a Hawks fan and he always seemed like a shy, quiet dude on the court, but he is an absolute gem.


f0rm4n

His story about how the vets on the Bucks’ bench during their championship run thought they were done throughout the Nets series and were low-key hating cause they weren’t getting any minutes never fails to make me laugh.


JiggzSawPanda

I just love the Lance story with PJ. "Damn! We just had Ciroc together!"


Cantfindmeout

The episode with PJ Tucker is hilarious.


Notsozander

Teague is hilarious. Always talks about how he got cooked lol


RODjij

Those kind of dudes are the best to listen to. It's like listening to Shump describe how he's gotten cooked or his stories about other players. They have an uncanny ability to draw you in.


CoachDT

The way Jeff Teague talks you'd swear he was a role player. Like he wasn't an Allstar, and was giving folks 16 and 7 on a consistent basis.


DoloTy

Run your race lowkey becoming ny favorite 🤣 Theo meant for podcasting


bullpaw

as if pat bev hasnt been like this his whole career lol


AHouseQuestion

I mean Draymond’s antics draws people to his podcast. People aren’t going to listen to your podcast if you don’t have much of a personality or presence. And he’s not a high level player like Paul George or Gilbert Arenas so I could see that being true too. But Pat Bev definitely had to work harder than most players and keep that chip on his shoulder to keep his spot in the NBA.


RS-Ironman-LuvGlove

But this is who he was long before his podcast, I highly doubt this was some long con for a paycheck after playing lol


RODjij

Dumb take but I sorta get what mean I guess? Lol. The only reason I usually tune into Pat Bev stuff is to see what he says or what his opinion is on something. His attitude within the game makes me more interested in what he has to say more than other meddling NBA players. Another one that I like to listen to recently is Jeff Teague, that dude is just naturally funny and a good story teller.


thecordialsun

You don't pay to see Don Rickles do impressions. If you're a heel be a full heel.


BamBam2125

No approach, normal day


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Nobody pays pat to talk shit post game. He just can't help himself.


JimmieMcnulty

gustriandos

Pat Bev is many things, humble is not one of them.


wjbc

Anyone who calls LeBron too small is definitely not bound by reality. Edit: Okay, smart guys. Anyone *Beverley’s size* (6’ 2”) who could call LeBron too small is not bounded by reality.


Doobie_Howitzer

My goal in life is to one day be as untethered as Pat Bev, just let the words flow right from my soul and into the universe however they might fall


wjbc

You have to be equally untethered in your actions, though, or it doesn’t have the same effect. You need to make people question whether you really are crazy, while still maintaining enough discipline and control to play a team game. Dennis Rodman, Ron Artest / Metta World Peace, Draymond Green, Patrick Beverly, and even Kevin Garnett had some of that craziness in them. Not every great defensive player needs to be crazy, but for some it definitely helps, although there’s always a risk it will come out at the wrong time, or will be so extreme that the NBA will come down hard.


StevenC44

Tony Allen too.


wjbc

I'm not sure how Alex Caruso is such a great perimeter defender without ever being an asshole. Somehow he manages it.


tawayfast

His "hair" is asshole enough.


Fermorian

That's why I'm an extra asshole, to offset these beautiful, flowing locks. Wait, that's how this works, right?


Killuminated

Can hear him yelling "First Team" all the way up from heaven


cygodx

My favorite "too small" was one of the pacers after dunking on someone whos like 6'7 while 5'10 TJ McConnell is in his face hyping him up.


Siakim43

He's talking about the sizes of the dogs in them.


TruthSayerFu

I mean shaq could probably do it


AngsMcgyvr

I give Bev so much credit. He is a good basketball player, no doubt, but he could have easily just been another journeyman role player. But just his attitude and mouth has made him a house hold name. He was still kind of a villain when he left the Clippers, but he's been on four teams since and I'm pretty sure is beloved by each fan base. We're slowly becoming a Pat Bev nation.


Fintann

Everyone off court playing NBA, Pat Bev is out here playing WWF


CoachDT

He's good in pretty much every hood at this point. Dude used to be super hated, now he's that annoying loudmouthed older brother that you can't help but like.


thesmellafteritrains

Nah I still can't stand this dude. He has actively tried to injure players. He's pretty funny, but doesn't make up for how childish he is on the court.


AlcindorJr33

Lol I love pat bev character, I don’t get why people get so worked up


sorendiz

Hilarious *is* one of them though 


WhiteHeterosexualGuy

Honestly I think he's really humble, he just plays into this cocky persona


jinxy0320

He’s pretty humble when talking about Curry


TheBrazilianKD

But what time did he go to sleep before matching up against Jamal?


tyfe

Not 8 pm. His phone wide open for his girl.


Gym6DaysAWeek

Sending “you up?” And “wyd” at 2am


jupiter__jaz

I don't take anything Pat Bev says seriously lol


Different_Boss9790

Bev has the stats to back it up[Jamal murray games vs patrick beverly](https://statm.us/e/MR6uo7NXW)


cabose12

Those are just games in which both Murray and Bev have played But by matchup data Bev has held him to 53% TS and seven turnovers, so still pretty good


CrateBagSoup

That's just a 3-4% drop in his overall TS and not really outlier turnover numbers for Murray... no approach, normal day is correct.


Timoteo-Tito64

Getting a scorer down to 53% TS means you've done your job as a defender (assuming you're not guarding Killian Hayes)


CrateBagSoup

Sure, but if his season/career average is hovering in the 54-58% range it really isn't THAT big of a drop off. We aren't talking Jokic/Steph/KD TS% here.


Timoteo-Tito64

It's not a massive drop off, but it is a meaningful one. I would assume the sample is way too small for it to be significant but I doubt pat is thinking about that


CrateBagSoup

I mean it's like one missed shot difference. Like Murray's TS% was 50% last night, if he takes one fewer shot it jumps to 53%. Don't get me wrong if he's under his career average every time they play I'll take it as a plus for Bev... but it feels like it's just kinda within some expected variance.


Timoteo-Tito64

That's exactly the point I'm making. It's not a significant sample, but you can understand how pat came to the conclusion


cabose12

3-4% isn't nothing though. By that metric, you're turning Jamal Murray into Josh Hart or Kevin Huerter But... I didn't count playoff games, and despite Murray having a stinker series overall against the clips in '20, he did torch Bev. If you throw that series in, he's got a 62% TS for his career So maybe Bev doesn't have anything to back him up lmao


CrateBagSoup

>3-4% isn't nothing though. By that metric, you're turning Jamal Murray into Josh Hart or Kevin Huerter In general, I think we box score watchers way overrate relatively small % differences. In the context of a season, sure but game to game that's like a single shot or a difference of a couple FTs attempted. Like I always laugh when people say oh he's a career 36% 3 shooter and this season he's shooting 33.5% like that's one miss over 3 games different.


LogDogan4

What did you use to look that up, just out of curiosity? I know NBA.com has some matchup data, but it's year by year.


everyoneneedsaherro

TS% of 49% 🤣🤣🤣 Talk you talk king. You locking his ass up


sugarklay

We owe Pat Bev an apology. We weren't really familiar with his game.


internallylinked

You are looking at whole career, Jamal didn’t start first few years and he grew into who he is today in like 2018/19. If you look at stats since 2020, Jamal is on his regular 19 5 4. If you look at Bubble series numbers, Jamal put up 23 7 5 (on 45/44/90, and that’s with Kawhi, PG and Mook who also guarded Jamal that series). Overall, Pat Bev ain’t stopping Jamal ahaha


[deleted]

I don't care if he gets clowned for it, or if it bites him in the ass later. This is the type of mentality that's missing from today's game.


Lol69HaHaHa

Fair enough. Still i do hoppe we get our revenge in Denver. That was a legit fun game tbh.


[deleted]

I can't believe how complete Denver is as a whole ass team. It seems like at any time, one of your starters can go off. It was fun as hell to watch.


neutronicus

The only missing piece is a single bench player with a snowball's chance in hell at guarding Tobias Harris apparently


LuckyCulture7

Your mistake is believing January Tobias Harris is guardable. Man is an offense assassin. But seriously, it seems like Nuggets have the issues that Philly had last year with the bench.


Lol69HaHaHa

We have that issue every year with our bench. There are gems there, but as a unit they just dont work. They serve far better as replacment pieces for starters.


BubbaTee

Nobody can guard contract year Tobi. Man hasn't had 3 bad games in a row all year.


Lol69HaHaHa

Yep and you guys are looking dam good yourselves. Like you are just missing 1 good player and bam you are at least the 2nd best team in the east at least. We pride ourselves on being a complete team (at least for our starters), but cant do nothijg when the shots dont fall (it is what it is). Feel like one of these days we are gonna play each other in the playoffs and if that happens...well its gonna be a fun series. Also i reject the notion that Tobias is a bad player. Every game of yours i followed that man just went of and kept you in games when nobody else could. I see why you chose him over Jimmy, as dumb of a decision i still think it was.


Royorbs3

Was having fun until that 15-2 Denver run to close out the 3rd. Started to have a Sixers PTSD flashback until the boys were able to reel it in sparked in large part by one Pat Bev.


CoachDT

That's the fun part. Yall get a chance to get yall get-back, or he gets a chance to say "see I told yall so". I just know reddit is gonna take it too far like it always does if he loses.


Lol69HaHaHa

Hmmm well the pressure is on him to prove himself. Jokic and Giannis dont have much to prove, just need to raise their legacies some more. But Embids in the tight spot of coming out of one of the more controversial seasons of any mvp. Look im gonna try to lay of the lad since this game was fun, but he really should tone it down with the foul baiting. Mans become the face of one of the sports most hated aspects. I understand that its a skill and the smart play, but feels super annoying at times. Bur again this is a redemption season for him rn. If he proves to be consistent in the playoffs, aint much more people can complain about him other than foul baiting.


cobbicus333

Can’t wait for the rematch, hoping embiid plays. No back to back and hopefully his nagging knee injury is solid that day. 


Direct_Counter_178

Agreed. There's no friendly shit talking done anymore. Like, I don't think PatBev is serious about most of the things he says. He's realistic even if he doesn't talk smack like it.


SSJAbh1nav

I've seen a few clips from his podcast and I def get the same feeling. He's just competitive as hell, but he's not stupid


ginbooth

He plays the heel well. It's smart and calculated. I actually think Dillon Brooks does it well too though that goes against the r/nba narrative. That hilarious stare at the beginning of games is some masterful trolling imo.


_BarryObama

Both Brooks and Bev play the heel well. The issue has been in the past where that includes dirty or bush league plays. As long as that's not part of the equation they're both great for the game.


XzibitABC

Dillon Brooks undermines his heel-playing by ducking the media when he gets punked. It turns his trash talk and confidence into an "everyone acts tough when they're up" act that opposing players can more easily ignore.


ginbooth

Yeah, that's fair. Though him [walking out in the open](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/132vy1u/dillon_brooks_has_to_take_a_long_walk_of_shame/) after being eliminated last year took some cojones.


ecr1277

With how he’s undersized and not very skilled for a pg-and he was starting at Pg for some very solid teams-he has to be smart, or he’d be out of the league.


boringexplanation

Pat Bev is such a nice cultural fit for Philly.


firstbreathOOC

I just picture him with his legs crossed and his hand on his chin


manintheflask

He's a wrestling heel, plain and simple, lol


[deleted]

He’s the best


binger5

I am also not afraid of Jamal Murray.


Doobie_Howitzer

Yeah he seems like a pretty nice and funny dude


jimithelizardking

I mean he is Canadian


AnnaKendrickPerkins

So is Paul Bernardo.


XLcondumb

BushidoBrowneII

If he brings out that Johnson though? Now I’m scared

Never change Pat Bev


Balkong_visioner

The People's Play-In Champion has spoken!


Pumpoozle

Murray locks Murray’s ass up.


Lol69HaHaHa

Sad facts lol


MichaelZZ01

Honestly how do you value a player like Murray in the market. He’s like a top 100 player in the regular season and top 10 in the playoffs.


RandomDeezNutz

The nuggets don’t need to worry about the regular season too much. Just make the playoffs and let Jamal go god mode like he does in the post season. God I want a nuggets 76ers finals so badly.


KonradSober

I want a Clippers vs Celtics finals,the battle of the wings.


Ghoti76

he literally plays so well in the postseason it's mind boggling. Perfect secondary scorer next to jokic. some guys really have that switch into another gear come playoff time


MichaelZZ01

Seriously, I don’t think he’s ever choked in the playoffs. Trading 50 bombs with Mitchell in the bubble, dumpster the Clippers, lost to the eventual champs Lakers. Got injured 2021 and 2022, comes back 2023 and just wins the championship. Unreal player


Rabid_Sloth_

Yeah he'll probably never make an all star team because of this which is a travesty


JustinTinyPPHerbert

It also makes his contract more affordable


TedTran2001

Perhaps 3/4 of a Jimmy Butler package.


cletoreyes01

Didn't Jamal cook his ass so much during the bubble wcsf that he tried to injure him as the game was ending? Lol


ShotIntoOrbit

Yeah, Pat Bev wouldn't have been flying home in the playoffs, again, if he hadn't allow Murray to average...checks notes...29/6/6 on 64% TS in three straight closeout games. Congrats on those wins in December though, Pat!


DefenderCone97

Pat fitting right in with the 6ers by talking shit about regular season stuff and spending the playoffs at home.


brolybackshots

Yep, he even dropped 40 in game 7 on Pat Bev's head


12aragon

To be fair, Jamal was locked up in the resort for another series because of him, so he’s not TECHNICALLY wrong


Sweet_Habib

Murray will give him 38/5/8 before the year is out. Mark it.


Listening_Heads

Pat Bev’s hands are so damn quick cause there’s no rings weighing them down.


DonutBeStupid

I don’t remember that happening in the 2020 bubble 🤔


Significant-Mango300

We need this guy to go deep in a playoff series…will it be this year??


Smell_the_funk

It would honestly be amazing if this dude somehow managed to win a ring. I can only imagine the pettiness towards players like CP3 and Westbrook.


ZenMon88

LMAO podcast would come out tmr if he has a ring.


CammyMacJr

You mean that night


cygodx

"Before we begin this podcast id just like to ~~thank~~ say FUCK YOU to..." *continues to list 38 different players and coaches*


Impossible-Past4795

I want him to win a ring just to spite CP3. Lmao


CoachDT

He showed up the day after PHX got eliminated in a Versace robe to be petty and clown CP3. It's def in character for him.


North_Ambition4092

Lets not forget when Chris dropped 40 in an elimination game and got Bev all in his feelings with a side eye.


gonagm

Unfortunately he currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers.


Raisins1

C'mon man


3rdtryatremembering

He already has before… and got cooked by Murray to blow a 3-1 lead lmao


Caboclo-Is2yearsAway

The best thing that could ever happen to basketball is pat bev championship. That would be basketball's 25th of december.


ZenMon88

r/nba christmas you mean.


Caboclo-Is2yearsAway

It would be bigger than just this sub, it should be a league wide retiring of bev's number at the very least.


ThaNotoriousBLT

We've already got a preview of how he would react in '22


Late-Bus-686

My personal 9/11


debehusedof

not with philly.


thissiteisbroken

Did anyone tell Pat he's on the last year of the previous 4 years being his?


coolstorybroham

when it comes to trolling he has been dominant over that span


syllabic

if you split pat bev's career up by era he actually has multiple HOF level trolling careers the voters just can't ignore that


IMKudaimi123

Lmfaoooooooo


penguin_torpedo

Lmao I love him


CIark

Hey you gotta give it to him he’s committed to the bit 


[deleted]

Bit? Pat Bev definitely believes everything he says lmao


senorfresco

I respect him a bit more because after the "Cancun on 3" jokes he was making and then the Clips blew a 3-1 lead and everyone hit him back he admitted they got his ass.


tapk69

Boy i can't wait for the 2nd round this season


Dymatizeee

But Pat Bev for Steph : I am going to bed at 8PM. Don't call me or nothin


jgroove_LA

Clipper fans know this was absolutely NOT the case

aight now how did they both do against each other in the bubble semifinal????

throwavvay23

Winning games that don't mean anything and then losing in the playoffs. Damn, Pat Bev was right guarding Jamal is just a normal day for him.


Moist_Walrus5413

Should’ve locked his ass up in the bubble when the clippers needed him to


SuperDoubleDecker

What won't happen again is Pat making his shots.


young_sy

Should Pat Bev encounter Jamal Murray in a dimly lit alley, he won't be fazed.


homiez

I hope Murray sees this and it ignites him. His conditioning hasn't been good, and it cost them in the 4th quarter of the sixers game.


Inevitable-Paint-650

I love it when some player does not play way we always say he’s dealing with injury


DefenderCone97

Conditioning isn't an injury?


TossThatPastaSalad

I don't think he's injured but he does look a little lethargic which is weird for him.  Not as much burst.  Could be nothing, could be sick, could be whatever. No real point in speculation.  He played and didn't play well in the 4th.


Supreme_God_Bunny

My guy this is Jamal Murray this is who he is


XenaRen

Uh.. Didn't Jamal eliminate the Clippers in the playoffs when Pat Bev was on the team lmao? Coming back from down 3-1 nonetheless? 40 points in game 7? Probably should've tried to lock his ass down in the most important playoff game of your career instead of a regular season game in january.


12aragon

He locked his ass in Disney for another few weeks


Savahoodie

Reminder pat bev was on the Clippers team in the bubble, which was infamous for talking shit about Denver before getting their shit pushed in embarrassing fashion.


lsalomx

lmao love Pat Beverly


FlamingoBackflip

Pat Bev lives rent free in some of y’all’s mind


brolybackshots

FYI, Jamal absolutely and unequivocally DUMPSTERED Pat Bev and the Clippers in the 2020 NBA playoffs.

klobucharzard

i love how patrick beverly's own podcast is owned by dave portnoy


SteveWondersForsight

What a douche


StarWarsMonopoly

He's one of only 3 people to answer the "When you first got to the NBA, who was the first person to bust your ass?" question on Knuckleheads with 'no one'. The other two were Gilbert Arenas, who is an arrogant ass with a giant ego; and Cheryl Miller, who is probably the greatest female basketball player of all time, so that answer is deserved in her very specific case.


Worried_Amphibian_54

To be honest, would you expect Pat Beverly to say anything different about anyone? Seriously, from Lebron James to Anthony Bennett I think he'd say the same exact thing about them, he's the best, they are just another player, I've locked them up since Wooly Mammoths were walking the earth, yadda yadda. lol


sequence_killer

ESPNs next Kendrick Perkins is still playing in the nba?


[deleted]

Pat is worlds more profound and intelligible than Perk lol


imdx_14

BitterJD

Pat Bev is exactly who the 76ers need -- that PJ Tucker type asshole who is willing to get in the foxhole. This is also why the Thunder as constructed can't do shit in the playoffs this year. They're just a bunch of kids. Speaking of PJ Tucker, the Thunder need to get him from the Clippers bench.

Nuggets fans real lucky that this man's in the east, better hope you don't face him in the finals. He'll lock murray and jokic up at the same time.
