“I go back to a role where 7 seconds to go, give me the ball. Watch me rock. Uh, isolation, step back. I get to hoop. You know, that’s what people forget about. Like, it’s cool. I played a great role. I had a phenomenal NBA career while I was in the NBA. But I don’t wanna stand in the corner and play with the Bucks.”
John H. Says, why are we talking about a player in a foreign league on r/nba?
Nobody puts Bevy in a corner
“Man it’s great to be playing in the best league in the world again. Free Palestine”
-Pat Bev in one year when some random nba team throws him a vet min
I’m sorry, this sub is for NBA players. 🤣
So I can stop hearing his terrible takes on everything soon, right?
Pat is a lil b@&$#
I don’t really see the problem with this. just a hater post
Cause It’s the role he’s always played in the NBA. Just comes off as salty saying now.
And Pat Bev has a history of shitting on his former team after he gets traded or doesn’t get another offer.
Definitely hasn’t been the role hes always played, you’re incorrect on that.
Pat Bev has a career usg rate of 14%
Not sure what point you are trying to make, but you’re wrong
Bev had offers, and he definitely hasn’t been relegated to corner duty his whole career. Even as recently as the wolves he had secondary ball handler duties (primary when dlo was off the court)
Dude just wants a bigger role and knew he wasn’t getting that in the NBA, it’s just realism
My guess it is mostly money related. His deal is similar to a vet minimum, but I’m guessing he won’t pay much in taxes and will have most expenses paid for
A bigger role is just a cherry on top
Hater post? It’s just a direct quote from Patrick Beverly with no additional commentary.
When i commented the only other comment was a (now deleted) comment from OP shittalking beverly for the decision. That’s the context
so much for the next five years being his lol… dude talked so much shit just to end up not winning shit
That quote was fake no credible sources backed that.
dude never even actually said that but okay.
and lord forbid players have confidence and personality
And I still appreciate it tbh. Basketball at the end of the day is entertainment and Pat Bev did his best to entertain.
I’ll always hate Pat Bev for the dirty ass dive into Russ’s knee while as he called a time out, but you can’t deny the man was an entertainer
You can say that about a majority of players in NBA history. Championships are really hard to achieve (at least for the rest of us pleb teams lol).
Those same players don’t talk shit to the level of loudness and publicity that Pat Bev has done it. And many of them accomplish a lot more than Pat Bev despite not winning a chip.
Plus he’s a dirty cheap shot player.
Quote is more of a myth after looking into it.
LOL, he gone to play in Israel ? Of all places he picked Israel? Doesn’t he watch news ?
I don’t get how ppl can hate on this. Now he’s guaranteed more money and also getting to play more. He balled out in these last playoffs and showed he’s not just a corner guy, he can playmake and do a little bit of everything. I expect him to cook people while overseas.
when was he ever NOT a role player
High school.
The last time he played in a European league
When he played in Olympiacos (which was the biggest european team he ever played) he definitely wasn’t a star. Not even a starter. He was more a of a “special assignment” guy. Usually subbed in to defend the opponents ball handler and foul during the latter part of the game.
Good for him, if he wants to actually play point guard (which he was decent as in Europe before the NBA and during some stretches in his NBA career) instead of just being a 3&D guy good for him, he can still have fun (not sure he’s still good enough to do it on a REALLY good Euroleague team but we’ll see)
He’s still a role player, just now he’s a role player for the Israeli pr genocide denial campaign
Watch me rock fucking sent me lol
Fair play to him, I remember when mirotic turned down huge money to do this in his prime
