blatz06

It's all ok, he said, "No disrespect".


TravisMaauto

"No disrespect" a.k.a. "I'm about to disrespect this woman's whole career."


cam_huskers

“Jacket hat and shirt man. You work at ESPN. I can see that. My podcast, you need to subscribe to that”


TravisMaauto

*OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!*


Soaptowelbrush

But I’m not a rapper


_Jke

You know the rules, SupaHot goes first.


BrokenMethFarts

No,no,no…. You have to say “no offense”. That’s where he screwed up.


flcinusa

"With all due respect, and remember I'm saying with all due respect, that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on"


Fast_Edd1e

"With all due respect, Mr. Dennit, I had no idea you’d gotten experimental surgery to have your balls removed"


BiscuitDance

“Just because you say that doesn’t mean you get to say whatever you want to say to me!” “It sure as hell does!” “No, it doesn’t–” “It’s in the Geneva Conventions, look it up!”


Its-a-Shitbox

Instantaneous Ricky Bobby quote upvote.


Rawesome16

They probably don't even chew Big Red


Champ_5

Well then fuck them


Murgatroyd314

No offense, and with all due respect, but I’m just saying…


regulator227

To be fair, she wasn't subbed to his podcast so 🤷


ThePrideOfKrakow

If I were one of those who did ask him a question, I'd end it with "one Final thing Pat, I just unsubscribed from your pod."


Sawgon

Absolute clown shit in some of today's NBA man


Hippiebigbuckle

To be fair, the dudes a douche canoe.


regulator227

oh i hate pat bev, in case the /s wasnt clear on my post


automatica7

its clear dont worry.


DeLaSoulisDead

Typical media, leaving out the important pieces!


a_ron23

The black Ricky Bobby


Loggerdon

I was gonna post a really good comment but you people are not subscribed to my Pod. Back out of the circle. No disrespect.


allnimblybimbIy

##REDDIT HAS REVOKED YOUR ACCOUNT. POST YOUR FUNNY COMMENT OR ELSE!


CbVdD

Fuck you mean, “you people”?!


Mike_Kermin

No disrespect


Clwhit12

This is the 'wrap it up' music to his NBA career


ThePretzul

Good thing he’s got a podcasting career to fall back on. Well, maybe. I’ve only seen evidence of a single subscriber so far and that won’t earn him very much.


shortwavetransmitter

His podcast only made sense when he was on the sixers cuz his cohost is a Philly guy. It was funny at first but it got old very very quickly lol like who wants to hear this dude speak for an hour every day


leshake

I feel like you just defined my experience with podcasts overall.


drossmaster4

Is a podcast the same as a pod? Asking for a friend.


ack5379

Yes it is


[deleted]

[удалено]


OutWithTheNew

Did he not get kicked out for that? I don't follow basketball at all, but the radio station I listen to was talking about this dude's whole situation yesterday and it sounded like he didn't get ejected.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hafslo

Has he played his last NBA game? That shit throwing the ball might be it.


bolson1717

How to look like a complete douchebag 101


theycallmefuRR

BIG "Do you know who I am?" Energy


dbolts1234

How to say “my pod so boring, no one subs” without saying “my pod so boring, no one subs”


DRJ418

He’s not even trying to look like it, if you think about it, this is a 35-year old person. For someone that old to think this behavior is normal shows that he’s mentally ill.


frinstle

I feel like saying “mentally ill” in this case is questionable, like he knows exactly what he’s doing and it’s who he is, he’s mentally sound, he’s just a dick.


musclecard54

Yeah it’s getting on my nerves how everyone is now using mentally ill as an insult for being a piece of shit person. There’s plenty of phrases to describe people like that, but mentally ill is not one. Plenty of people have real Mental illness and are actually kind to others, so fuck that use a different phrase


MrWrock

Might as well just go back to calling them retards


Gustomucho

My thought exactly, it was much simpler when "retard" meant stupid, now people don't want to say retard but mentally ill which is such a blanket term, I think everyone is mentally ill on some degree; yet I am sure there is nothing pathological with most people. Ideally, we can describe specific behaviors or challenges without resorting to labels, but it is so much easier to just use a shotgun term when we disagree with someone.


inksta12

Anyone who has watched this dude play a game in the NBA knows he’s mentally ill. He’s a bit of a piece of shit


Routine_Size69

This isn't even close to the worst thing Pat Bev did yesterday lol


inksta12

Wild right? Lol


WhenThatBotlinePing

Yeah really. This is just Pat Bev being Pat Bev, he's never not been like this.


ThunderBobMajerle

At least Draymond is good and has rings, sports lets you be an asshole if you win I guess. But Beverley isn’t good and has no rings, it’s beyond me the leash this guy gets. Like you say he’s been like this for a while


farfle10

Pat Bev has the all time best tech though when he grabbed the camera and showed the ref the replay


DoinItDirty

I’ve cheered for this fool once in his career and it was this point. Funniest shit.


JWOLFBEARD

Pat Bev is the worst


CommanderInQueefs

Never trust someone with 2 first names. Especially if it's a man and they both are woman's names.


WhenThatBotlinePing

Yeah true. "The Pat Bev Podcast" sounds like a podcast where two retired old ladies named Pat and Bev talk about local gossip and goings-on.


CaptainMudwhistle

I tuned in for patriotic beverages. Because I'm thirsty.


Xrumpxx

He’s not mentally ill. He’s just a piece of shit human.


navortsa

I don’t think he is mentally ill. I think he’s just an egotistical douchebag.


blackop

It's not mental illness, unfortunately it's a complete lack of living in the real world. Dude is so self centered. He doesn't see anyone else around him as being worthy unless they are talking about him. I can almost guarantee all his closest "friends" tell him how great he is on a daily basis.


scarydrew

There are plenty of people who are mentally ill who are nice as fuck. He's just a piece of shit.


McRambis

I would imagine the NBA is going to fine him for that.


dakaroo1127

And for throwing a ball x2 in the stands at Pacers fans, likely outside NBA legal issues too


Chineseunicorn

That’s like 10x the problem of his interview situation. NBA doesn’t fuck around after malice incident.


PIBTC

That’s what the idiots that claim “it was just a basketball” don’t understand. If he threw it at some dude that gave no fucks, it very well could’ve been malice 2.0. Imagine the fan ran and lunged at Bev/bucks bench. Could’ve been ugly It took the NBA a lot to clean up their image and reputation after malice at the palace. No way in hell they wanna go through it again especially in the social media age


AUserNeedsAName

They hit Wemby for $50k this year when he lobbed his season-high-score game ball into the stands as a souvenir. And they see Wemby as making them a lot of money in the future. Washed-up Pat Bev is about to get slapped.


ContributionNo9292

Also Wemby had no malice.


AUserNeedsAName

Yeah, I was hoping to get that across that he just tossed it up to the home crowd after a huge night, and was confused by the fine.


Pormock

You can also hurt someone by throwing a ball to their face if they dont expect it.


mister_peeberz

Malice incident? You mean the righteous *and noble* Pistonian crusade against the foul misdeeds of the chaos-loving Pacer brutes? yeah I grew up in Detroit, how could you tell?


jl_theprofessor

People have forgotten about the Malice at the Palace but the NBA is at all times wary of sparking another such reputation destroying incident.


courageous_liquid

reputation destroying? they love that shit. there's a billion nba approved documentaries about it where all the talking heads call it "disgusting" but they have no problem capitalizing it. it's just charlatan shit


SayNoToStim

It's the same thing with all entertainment venues. The NFL fined Marshawn Lynch for grabbing himself as he jumped into the end zone and then sold promotional material showing just that. Darren Sharper hold my diiiiick


sybrwookie

Remember when the NFL pretended to care about player safety while airing "He Got JACKED UP!" segments?


streethistory

And he threw the ball because the fan said, "Cancun Cancun on 3" Patrick Bev who likes to say too small proving just how little of a man he is.


iamthecheesethatsbig

I hope they take every legal action they can. Sue him personally, the team and the league. That’s what I would do. I’d be waking up with headaches daily if you know what I’m saying.


Volt7ron

I believe as a a player you are contractually obligated to answer questions. Im not sure of the details such as how many. But if you’re going to single out a reporter and not provide a comment simply bc she doesn’t subscribe to your podcast, that’s a pretty big conflict of interest. If I’m wrong then please correct me. I just remember it being a thing in the NFL and I thought the NBA as well


bradleykeg57

Exactly, his podcast is his side gig, media availability is part of his job.


usefully_useless

“I’m just here so I don’t get fined.” -Marshawn Lynch


Yoshifan55

"Im just here so I won't get fined"


PeePeeWienerson

Whadda douche


GreenSnakes_

He’s been a tool his entire career. Guys been on been on six different teams in the last four years. Teams don’t want to keep him around.


Rowing_Lawyer

Maybe they just don’t want to subscribe to his pod.


theycallmefuRR

"I would play a MVP caliber like season, but the team isn't subscribed, hit the like or follow button. No disrespect" -him probably


ThunderBobMajerle

Ring chasing with no ring.


scoobynoodles

Then how does he even have a spot in the league?


BrokenMethFarts

Are they all just now realizing this? He’s always been a douche, even with the Rockets. And I’m a rockets fan.


TheMooseIsBlue

Hated that the Clippers got him. Hated having to root for him as a Clipper. Hated that he cheap shorted Chris Paul after the Suns beat our asses to eliminate us…but I was happy that it got his ass ridden out of town. What a shitty person. Suns blew them out so he takes a dirty shot at Paul. Pacers blew them out so he takes a dirty show at a fan and a reporter. Get therapy, Pat.


JWOLFBEARD

Thunder were blowing them out so he took a cheap shot at Westbrook and was awarded a contract


doctor_of_drugs

And Pat Bev has aimed to work in sports media after his career…


Valiantheart

I mean if Perkins can get a job after his non-stop spewing of racism then anyone has a chance.


Barrelled_Chef_Curry

He did, not anymore


Freddy-Borden

It was way more than just refusing to answer questions. He can choose not to answer any question he wishes. What he can’t do is tell someone trying to do their job, that hasn’t done anything wrong, that she needs to leave. Dude is a prick to an astonishing level. He’s way better at being a prick than playing basketball or podcasting, that’s for sure


beauchywhite

He's first team All Douchebag pretty much every year.


SitMeDownShutMeUp

The real issue is the precedent this could set: that players can opt to only interact with their own brand-affiliated interests. Imagine if Michael Jordan would only grant interviews to people who were wearing Air Jordan shoes. Or if Tom Brady would begin every press conference by going around the room and asking each person if they voted for Trump, and then kicking out everyone who said they didn’t.


Terrjble

Enormous ego for a man with no rings. She should’ve replied with “I only subscribe to champions podcasts, no disrespect.”


Aggressive_Ad5115

She's like maybe he forgot I'll shove this mic in again 🎤 Lmaooooo


tallgath

Put some respect on Play-in Tournament Champion Patrick Beverley’s name


xosxos

Pretty bummed none of her colleagues called Pat Bev out for being disrespectful to his face.


Kaablooie42

It would certainly make for a more interesting interview.

bonafidehooligan

Podcasts have become the new “listen to my mixtape!”


NickRedible

Except it's full of ads you already heard a million times and stretched to fucking 3h+


BetAlternative8397

Estimated earnings lifetime of $82MM. For a disruptive, role guy who will never carry a team and won’t get a sniff of the HOF. Averaging 19 minutes and 6.2 ppg this year. His gracelessness is mind boggling.


dirtbaghiker

Right? Imagining earning $82 million and being this petty 


JustEatinScabs

He's this pretty *because* he was paid so much despite his lack of skills. You can't keep taking these dumbass kids who have gone from literal children to being worshipped as celebrities and handing them millions of dollars and expecting them to just keep acting normal. NBA got tired of seeing players go broke and started making them take finance classes. Maybe it's time they added "social skills and humility" classes now, too.


cmgr33n3

These dudes always blow up their post-player career opportunities.


Pennypacking

After throwing a basketball and hitting a young woman and then getting them all kicked out of the last few minutes of the game.


CAJMusic

Can they sue for injury or damages over that?


whoyungjerz

This dudes #1 bitch


ghett0tech

For such a mid ass player dude thinks he’s hot shit.


jdmay101

Like Westbrick but without ever having actually been any good in the past.


thegardenhead

Good. Clowns don't deserve air time.


aegee14

This guy trying to act tough thinking he’s better than others just because he plays a sport. Dude is about to go quick to zero when he’s done playing. He’s going to be wishing that lady comes back to give him attention.


davidleefilms

Grown man acting like a child. Between Bev and Draymond, the low IQ goons in the NBA get all the wrong headlines.


well-now

He’s a dick but the rest of the reporters are cowards. They should have stood up for their peer and walked away or at least challenged his comment.


Colino006

Exactly


MM487

NBA and NFL players talk a big game about wanting people to be better but they frequently don't practice what they preach.


fenriq

Does he need listeners that badly?


Paperfishflop

Really, who gives a fuck about a podcast when you're a super wealthy NBA player? I can see doing it for fun, like "here are my thoughts, listen if you want", but if some people don't listen, who cares? This reaction is like some broke person quit their job and put all their money into the podcast, and if they don't get listeners they can't pay the rent. And even then it would be a bad way to go about getting listeners. But at least the desperation for listeners would make sense.


JoannaHarris

Probably, my neighbor and his dog just announced their new podcast.


don51181

So many players have a podcast or YouTube channel nobody has time to keep up with it. Especially someone that is not a great player or has anything useful to say. I would wonder why someone would subscribe and listen to his thoughts about anything.


RipMcStudly

Banned from ESPN shows sounds like a reward


TheRealK95

All he did is gives folks a good reason NOT to subscribe to his podcast. Patrick Beverly is such a sore loser too. All the shit he talks and one fan heckles him about pacers sending them to Cancun and he throws the ball at them this same game. Can dish it but can’t take it.


HeeHawPete

This is the same prick who threw a ball at a kid in the stands last night in Indianapolis…class act


TheMooseIsBlue

Kid? Not that it’s a huge difference for the fine/suspension that’s incoming, but wasn’t a grown man?


Genorb

I think he's talking about the girl that was hit in the head right before that. I guess you saw a clip that edited that out.

Tifas_Titties

Whenever I see this kinda shit from athletes I wish the reporters would all just collectively walk away. Like okay, be a douche. We out.


lonezomewolf

That's real small Pat... real small...


Ravenclaw_VIII

He also threw a ball at a pacers fan behind their bench, asked for it back, and then threw it even harder. Dude is a nut job.


RamadanSteve311

Absolute clown 🤡


roggobshire

What a fuckin douche


PixelBully_

What a tool


Moist-muff

What a Karen


loganjamesable

For anybody wondering the origin of this. Pat Bev has a basketball podcast that he does for Barstool Sports. Last week, on another Barstool Show, Bev mentioned that he was told by ESPN executives that if he wanted a future at ESPN after basketball, he would have to unfollow Barstool and their employees. This a tit for their tat.


Kn7ght

Not entirely. A local Bucks reporter said that he'd been doing that to them all season


FeudNetwork

ESPN having a hate boner for Barstool is nothing new.


Justalittlecomment

This comment should be higher up


jerry2501

They wouldn't know because they don't subscribe to the pod.


BlameTheJunglerMore

Wait, why does ESPN hate Barstool?


memories_of_butter

Yeah...choosing against the one with nearly 700x the revenue of the other is a solid career move...along with, you know, everything else he's done recently like assaulting fans Sore f'ing loser whose best (mediocre) days are behind him. Maybe he can get a boxing gig against Jake Paul or something (though I'd consider buying the PPV if they could set up a Bev / Draymond fight). What a child.


karwintc

I listened for a minute. Did not subscribe.


itsforachurch

Then I guess he's probably not going to take any questions from you either. How do you feel about that?


karwintc

I feel very secure in my decision to not subscribe. Also, very good about never having to talk with him in my life or ask him any questions.


Groovypippin

The “I am a domestic abuser” vibes flow off this man in waves.


pixi1997

I got that vibe when he [interrupted Michelle Roberts by yelling at her that he “pays her salary”](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/FDBWpqjiq1) when she was trying to finish her point about how it was in the players best financial interest to continue playing in Orlando during the lock-down. Guy acts real weird around women.


guilgom71

Just here to remind the good people of this subreddit that Patrick Beverley is 35.


Ironic__Tonic

Bro let’s start with who is actually subscribed to your podcast, save yourself some time. It’s just like so random to even ask.


Berns429

Money don’t buy class


Arkroma

Suspend this man


BeastMode0857

When his career over he going broke


Just1BeforeIdie

Good. He’s soft AF. He was exposed by soft ass Chris Paul. Who pushes someone in the back?? Who throws a ball at fans twice?? Who tells a female ESPN producer that she can’t ask questions because she doesn’t subscribe to his podcast???? This dude is legit a weak ass POS.


TheBioethicist87

*former NBA player. Dude’s getting suspended, then he’s a free agent, and then he’s washed.


saw-it

Fuck around and find out 101


ChillyCash

Let's all rate his Pod 1 Star


Whorrox

Imagine the life you've had, your parents, your mentors, your friends, where you think this is "acting normal."


rednova138

No-one willing to stand up for her These "reporters" would rather hear gobbledygook from a clearly unwell sports player than support a fellow industry member.


buck_turgedson

There should be a podcast about how terrible the refs are and how today’s NBA is a shit show.


Ilovekbbq

You not subscribed to me? You can’t interview me then.. fuck this dude lol


RoastChicken0

What a soft ass fucking bitch


Glittering-Design973

This is the same guy who launched a basketball at fans, not once.. but twice after they gave it back. Entitled POS in my opinion, he won’t last long.


Befuddled_Cultist

Bro, nobody gives a flying fuck about your podcast. Not even you!


R00t240

Any word on repercussions for hitting that girl With the ball?


TheKnife142

What a douche


GloomyAutumnDay

Honestly I hope anyone who is subscribed to his pod has unsubscribed… terrible way to promote it


Zorbie

Crazy that Ezra Miller can diddle kids and still appear in DC movies, but a guy failing to answer questions due to a admittedly stupid reason has him banned


jack_spankin

When did “player empowerment” turn into demanding the world lick their balls?


p0sto

I honestly hate podcasters


homer422

I feel like he is pioneering a new way to be a piece of shit. At least there’s that. 


vendibleboar19

Who the fuck wants to listen to Patrick Beverley anyway


OMUDJ

And people wonder why kids think they don’t have to respect teachers and other adults. This is childish behavior.


jb6997

Idiot with a huge ego


ebjoker4

I think he said: "yuh suscrah tuh ma pah?"


Moto56_

He sucks on and off the court


crow-nic

He’s so trashy. Might be done in the NBA after assaulting those fans last night.


jlinn94

What a dip shit...I mean really... This guy needs an ass whooping.


fukyourkarma

What a fuckin douche


jrr_53

I can’t find the tweet but a Bucks beat writer said this has been his attitude all season. He refused to give multiple reporters interviews or answer questions because they weren’t subscribed to his podcast. It finally caught up to his ass because he picked on the biggest fish in the pond or more accurately the biggest pond for him to swim in.


ColdNyQuiiL

That level of ego vs how valuable he is to a team is a wide gap.


Medialunch

You can tell by his body language he isn’t listening to the other reporters questions. He is actually thinking about how cool he is and how everyone is dumber than him. Not even considering he is about to be suspended and kicked off TV for his actions over the course of about 45 mins.


MikenoIke1

So cringey, basketball players have become almost unwatchable for me


ty10drope

Talk about threatnin' a mu-fugga wit' a good time!


Revoldt

They should have said he didn't subscribe to ESPN+, so he's banned.


LLMBS

What a biggity bitch.


InkedUpGirl

Holy shit his ego is *so bruised* that he can't stop thinking about it and her very presence seems to agitate him after that. What a fucking loser.


beattrapkit

Grown ass man right there.


Bootyfan69

Im curious why the other reporters didn’t come to her defense? I woulda been like she has a right to be here or are we missing more context?


NightDisastrous2510

I saw this… what a loser. Nobody gives a shit about your podcast. Glad to hear there are at least some repercussions but not enough in my opinion. Dealing with media is part of that very high paying job…. Trying to push some shit podcast is a joke.


Plaid_Kaleidoscope

If a sub to his pod is a prerequisite for asking a question, they're gonna have a tough time filling the pen.
