Patrick Beverley is going after the fan base of his of his old teams.
On the latest episode of his self-titled podcast for Barstool Sports, the former NBA guard Beverley reacted to the news of the Los Angeles Lakers trading away D’Angelo Russell earlier this week. In his remarks, Beverley took a shot at Lakers fans for supposedly hurting the trade value of the team’s own players.
“Lakers fans, the real ones, they know basketball,” said Beverley. “They’ve seen it a lot, they’ve been through a lot. What they don’t understand is their effect on making their own team better.”
“They talk so bad about their players that they actually decrease their value,” he added. “So now, when a trade comes, ain’t nobody just giving you s–t. No one’s trying to help the Los Angeles Lakers. We know you guys want this guy … he’s [worth] a second-round [pick] to every other team. But to the Lakers, he’s two first [rounders]. F–k it. But when you have a fan base, a guy shoots bad, and they crush guys, they decrease their value.”
Here is the full video (but obviously look out for the bad language).
