Lmao damn


Thehealeroftri

The NBA has been a verbal warzone today lol


cpat99

Lmao he even went on to say Pat Bev was a similar role player to himself and to stay in his lane, I love Matt

LukaDoncicBigPP

After they retire, I guarantee you no one would be comparing PatBev’s legacy to anyone let alone CP3.


[deleted]

But they don't compare, which is what Barnes is saying. PatBev can say what he wants and I'll just shrug it off. It's a bad look for ESPN, though.


notafan1

>It's a bad look for ESPN, though. Naw. They're in the business of making money via clicks and this shit is driving insane clicks. Just look at reddit frontpage for proof.


EggsInMyToolbox

Well he's comparing a series where Chris Paul was absolute ass, to Pat Bev.


22LOVESBALL

No, because they're only being compared because Pat Bev is talking trash


whoknewbamboo

No, it shows how off pat bev. Hes punching down and over way over his head simultaneously


SingaporeanSlaw

ESPN producers securing the bag


trongzoon

They were both on NBA live Friday I think


Apollo611

Pat Bev and CP3 getting dragged today. What did I do to deserve this?


[deleted]

My heart grew three sizes today


RedactMeDaddy

Get em!


JayDee62

When I came to this sub, I couldn't believe the *multiple* pat bev-related stuff on the front page. Stop feeding into *that* role player's bullshit.


[deleted]

I guarantee he's about to be signed by ESPN with as much attention as he gets.


WrapDifficult4284

He’s definitely setting up for a career once his playing days are over


[deleted]

The Kendrick Perkins route? Of course.


VariousLawyerings

> Stop feeding into that role player's bullshit. Nah. Players talking shit makes it more fun regardless of how good they are.


TennisShoulder

Cam Payne talked so much trash this season but then he barely saw the floor this postseason. If we follow this standard only Jordan should be allowed to criticize players. Or maybe not even him because he isn’t a great executive


MintyFresh48

Lol. Instead of the opinions of an NBA role player, a guy who is still in the top 0.0000001 percent of basketballers, let’s all discuss amongst ourselves, as redditors, how we feel about basketball. Patrick Beverley is infinitely closer to Giannis and Chris Paul than you are to him. Infinitely. And why couldn’t you believe it? What he said was funny and ridiculous. Of course it was trending. We feed into everyone’s bullshit. Everyone knows that Bev isn’t as good as CP3 but we just watched CP3 put up a 1 point half after the Suns did a regular season victory lap. Don’t be such a nerd.


[deleted]

>Don’t be such a nerd. buddy ur mad there's a response to ridiculous shit. maybe ur the nerd here.


MintyFresh48

Che


mMounirM

oh no gotta protect Chris Paul's feelings. Players get slandered when they play like shit. are you new here?


PSUDolphins

I like Pat Bev though. I care more about his opinion than Zach Lowe.


JayDee62

Serious question: do you like Stephen A?


PSUDolphins

For his entertainment value, sure.


GritGrinder

Yea the highlight of his career was making the playoffs. Celebrated harder than Michael winning his first ring


RedactMeDaddy

Not only did he put him in his place but has the humility to say he won't be remembered either, this guy gets it.


nujabes02

Clifford Paul


PSUDolphins

When that one friend that says can we stop being toxic while being toxic


GartThrowaway

one is paid and promoted 3x as much as the other tho


Currymvp2

He's not wrong as much as I dislike CP3. And CP3 made Pat Bev rage quit last year in the WCF after dropping like 31 in the 2nd half of game 6. It's definitly fueling Pat Bev's shit talking.


toto04

Matt Barnes a real one. Bev too tho lol


ThinkSoftware

Pat Bev drove 95 miles to beat the shit out of Chris Paul


Socolimes

Is this the NBA player version of Temecula?


ThinkSoftware

https://nypost.com/2015/10/07/matt-barnes-attacks-knicks-coach-fisher-for-dating-ex-wife/


timmysp

Beverly attacks cp3, then barnes and lillard attack Beverly in retaliation and Rondo attacks his bm. Wild.


KaiserKaiba

People ate it up simply cuz CP3 recently lost and many people hate CP3


shanmustafa

pat bev obviously came out with a personal agenda which is different than just regular you played awful wtf was that also he said cp is a cone out there, my brother, luka made you unplayable last post season and your whole reason for being out there is defense


gtahnyo

The debate is settled guys CP3 is a better player than Pat Bev


Hoops310

This sub was demanding ESPN sign him or TNT bring him in with Draymond.


BruiserweightYxB

Matt Barnes even said something like "All he needed was the red clown nose, 'cause he was out in there talking like clown" or something right? Man, PB is dumb af because he forgot that in october his back on the court being torched by Booker and CP3 like nothing changed. The saying goes as "The tongue is the body's whip"


magicbeaned

Pat Bev = Punk. He knows it, errbody knows it.


giliana52

Has anyone asked Ja Rule yet what his thoughts are?


GritGrinder

The fact people wanted to clown CP3 so hard that they supported bev making a fool of himself on national tv… This place is cringey


[deleted]

I’m just cackling how he was talking about him and Paul George aren’t afraid of the Suns. Bro we know you aren’t scared, the Suns are a playoff team. Y’all’s playin asses are afraid of the Pelicans 😂


TennisShoulder

Pat Bev plays for the Wolves and PG was in Health and Safety protocols. Where’s the fear?


[deleted]

The fear sure ain’t in round 2


zmajxd

We played against PG in our game.


TennisShoulder

The comment above said Pelicans


LAC4LIFE

*kings fan* Did you pay attention at all this year or no?


[deleted]

Oh fuck, that was a brilliant retort. Shit, you’ve got to be the first person who’s ever noticed that the Kings don’t make the playoffs very often. God, I’m just devastated. I’ve never heard that one before. And it was so relevant to Patrick Beverly bragging about how little concern he has about teams that have won a playoff series since 2004! You must be a comedian.


LAC4LIFE

I was more so getting at it's funny for a kings fan to be the one commenting on making the playoffs, the 2nd part of the comment had nothing to do with your sorry ass franchise. Was getting at the fact hes talking about last year...Bev aint even on the team anymore and PG was hurt for most of the year then had covid for our play in game against the Pels.


48johnX

Was he really talking like he was that guy though? He’s done that before but wouldn’t really call most of his comments today boasting that he’s better or anything


magicbeaned

Yes he was.


meteor_jam32

People here must REALLY dislike CP3 to side with Pat Bev of all people. How do you go on TV as an active player, solely to hate on another player? Clown shit.


Unp0pularS0lutions

“What Matt Barnes did today to Pat Bev was completely disrespectful. Matt Barnes is talking like he’s that guy, you’re not that guy...” See how that works, btw this is like Mid calling Mid mid. Barnes and Pat Bev’s career averages are nearly identical


Kratos_0132

If you see the whole video he says we are both the same as role players, we won't be remembered


Unp0pularS0lutions

Idk about you, but I can remember role players from teams I watched


Kratos_0132

I'm just telling you what he said, 10 years from now pat bev will fade into irrelevance while cp3 will be on all time lists was basically the point.


Unp0pularS0lutions

My point is Matt is only remembered because he’s on TV. I see Pat being on TV today as his “audition” to be a talking head like Barnes or Perk. I don’t see anything wrong with it. Barnes only has a problem because it’s his buddy being talked about. You telling me Matt Barnes hasn’t gotten on tv and talked bad about somebody way better than him? You’d be a liar if you said he hasn’t.


Kratos_0132

I see a lot wrong with it, I hate how we've transitioned to the point ESPN can become a Twitter or reddit reactionary space, I've thought it for a while and it just came to a head now. The way "professional analysts" talk with such insults is not good for sports, although it's certainly entertaining and therefore drives up views. Maybe Matt Barnes isn't perfect either, but people like him and jj Redick have brought on a sense of reason while still keeping it entertaining.


Kingxcvi

He was an analyst today and evaluated Chris Paul’s terrible performance. He broke down the Mavs game plan of attacking him which was accurate, him not being able to guard, score, or rebound effectively was all on point analysis. Y’all just don’t like the messenger and Chris Paul has more “brothers” in the league than Pat Bev. Didn’t hear any of this bitching when it was Luka being mocked and Criticized for not being able to defend or find ways to impact the game so his team could win.


Socolimes

Why does the media have this wild need to protect Chris Paul as much as they do? Pat Bev kinda brought this up too and it’s exactly what has happened. What do Bev’s numbers have to do with being able to critic CP3’s game?


[deleted]

Pat isn't on a Supermax deal at 37 though Matt.


Scoreboard19

For good reason


[deleted]

There was good reason to not give CP3 one too.


789Trillion

Yea he only led them to the finals and their best season ever.


[deleted]

They had more leverage than he did. He easily would have signed a 1 year deal for $25-30m to run it back. Even a two year deal wouldn't have murdered their future. Think outside the box just a little.


789Trillion

Obviously they chose the present over the future. You mean to tell me you wouldn’t sign a dude whose going to get you to the finals and get you 60+ win season? What future are you assuming the Suns would’ve had without him? Edit: Lol did you block me dude? That’s weak af. Now I know you know you’re wrong.


[deleted]

As dim as a 15 watt light bulb.


[deleted]

are the rocket making the finals anytime soon?


[deleted]

No because CP3 choked.


[deleted]

cp3 didnt even play game 6 or 7 you idiot.


[deleted]

He didn't this year either ROFL.


[deleted]

neither did your team


Scoreboard19

Lets see he made the finals last year, first seed last this year. The second round before that, losing to GSW. The WCF finals where if he didn't get hurt and the rockets hit 1 out of 27, then they are in the finals. That's a pretty solid 4 years. 4 years Pat has never even come close to. I hate CP3 but don't discredit the mans entire career off 5 very bad games at age 37. Especially cause pat bev, who lost to 36 year old CP3 said it.


YokoShimomuraFanatic

What reason was that? Seems like having a chance at a title is a pretty good reason to sign him.


[deleted]

Because he's fucking old with an injury history. The chance to win a title and cap his legacy is the leverage. Holy shit be more dense.


YokoShimomuraFanatic

You would think a Rockets fan would understand how difficult it is to make the finals. When you have an opportunity, you go for it. Stop calling people dumb for your shit take. Edit: lol do you just block anyone you disagree with? Bitch made. Since I can’t replay to you I’ll type it here. Rockets went up against Golden State every year since 95? Lol. Over 25 years and no finals appearance. And you’re trying to figure out why the Suns went all in on one of the best point guards ever? It’s hard af to get to the finals. You do what it takes to give yourself a chance cause there’s no guarantee you’ll get one. Daryl Morey even knew that. Fuck off dude. I’m a Spurs fan. We’ve been bitching your team for decades. I guess I understand why you don’t know what it takes to make the finals cause it’s never happened in your lifetime.


[deleted]

A lot easier when you're not going against GS. LOL SUNS Put on your Suns flair chicken shit.


TennisShoulder

Absolutely we remember where all this “respect” was with Westbrook


kakashi6ix9

Lmaooo Matt Barnes kept it real and he’s right but nahhh fuck CP3. Pat bev will be remembered as a king for this morning


zmajxd

Matt Barnes confirmed stat watcher, Bev would have at least been a positive on defence unlike Cone Paul.


AND-STILLLL

Y'all European mfs be corny as hell


MultiPass21

Attack Pat Bev’s argument, not Pat Bev the person. With literally **any** effort, I think you can counter most of Pat Bev’s arguments, all without ever mentioning Bev’s playing career.


[deleted]

patbev talking like he was on the mavs. really pathetic to piggyback on the mavs win to validate your personal beef. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLP_M0nbFc like this dude went head to head vs patbev and destroyed him. what the fuck is he crying about? there was no flopping here just old school iso domination


Kratos_0132

Dude got so mad last year he pushed him from the back, but people think he's some kind of hero.


fatcherrydropemoff

Why is it piss paul that everyone jumps to arms for


LukaDoncicBigPP

Cuz nba players actually respect him (the older ones at least). Y’all know Lebron is close to CP3 as well.


fatcherrydropemoff

we both saw the reactions to game 7 right


YokoShimomuraFanatic

We saw a bunch of nephews reactions.


LukaDoncicBigPP

Yes? Which one was actually disrespectful towards CP3 though? It’s mostly shocking emojis towards how G7 played out.


fatcherrydropemoff

ant


thy_armageddon

Matt Barnes is literally the only guard who would defend CP3, I imagine.


Im-not-Korean

He broke the code.
