PERK AND RIVERS GET HEATED πŸ”₯ Does Giannis NEED Patrick Beverley? πŸ‘€ | NBA Today

Having a good relationship with one of the key players on a team is vital when you talk about especially a guy at the end of your career you know Pats past the prime of his career you know and he’s can still be a key asset to a

Championship team we know that but he’s leaving Philly and he left the team before that and the team before that and the team before that a lot of those teams when you see these championship teams and how guys are able to stick around it’s likeability you know what I

Mean so I understand he has a voice in the locker room I understand Patrick uh Patrick has a popular podcast he’s an opinionated guy he’s an in face guy tell you how he feels guy which is something they do need um but there has to be a

Line with that he’s got to be able to jail and get along with with with the Austin was had a good sign in when he said I’ve got a relationship yeah he’s already telling you he knows what he got to do he’s got to build that out yeah

But at the end of the day it’s not that much it’s not going to be hard for him to go in there long as his intentions are right and nobody like Patrick bevle is a a guy that is a team guy right it’s all about winning he loses himself into

The team and right now more more than anything yanis Sant Dupo needs that right he needs some accountability because we praise jannis but relax let me finish jannis Yannis needs some of Patrick bevly but what I’ve been seeing from him defensively a lot of gambling breaking the schemes doing what he want

To do not protecting the basket like the old Yannis you need someone to hold him accountable and he has to listen you know why because Yannis made the Bucks move Drew holiday Giannis made the Bucks fire Agent Griffin you think Patrick Bevy coming in there and his voice is

Going to make him just be like oh you’re right no I’m just what you miss not listen I love Patrick Beverly but he don’t come on man we talking about go ask any go ask any great player that didn’t played with Pat Pat Pat Bev

How they feel about him when he’s on te I’m I didn’t heard LeBron name said it said out of his mouth right before got out there but that was that was because that was because the mix didn’t work bro but when he first got to that team he

Said Patrick bevle is a guy that I hated when he was on the other team I love him now that he’s on the team don’t tell me right now say like we not going to do that we not going to do that we not going to do that he’s well respected

Around the world said he’s not I’m just telling you I’m just telling you okay really quickly can I can can I interject here and be the voice of reason as I have been for so many years you is the voice of reason I’m that’s what I’m saying really

Quickly Patrick Beverly to the Bucks the reason why they need to get uncomfortable and that can be a player in the locker room with a voice that’s maybe louder than it should be what it in my opinion Patrick Beverly is respected from his I’m not I’m not questioning you I’m coming that’s perk

You could talk that with him later off the break my point is this Patrick Beverly to the the reason why I think it’s great for them is they need to get uncomfortable they need to have uncomfortable conversations you were saying that Giannis gambling too much people need to be held to accountable I

Think Griffin getting out and Doc coming in it should raise a level of accountability for this team but that’s what Patrick bevle can help with can help with is Raising things winning championships is uncomfortable it’s winning championships can be very very uncomfortable and now Austin has something because because I’m not saying

That he doesn’t have a presence I’m not saying he not a respected player in the NBA what I’m saying is at the end of the day yes Patrick Beverly is being brought there for a variety of reasons defensive one and also a voice agreed agreed what

I’m saying is addition to that Above All Else Giannis has to be accountable for his own damn self it can’t just be from Pat Beverly this got to start at the top I understand he has a voice but when people look at the locker room for

Someone to be the guy and have a voice that really really really matters it’s the best player in the team it’s that guy right there the MVP that is not true that is not true every every team look bro I didn’t play with 12 Hall of fam

Was maybe 13 and all of them what didn’t have a voice in the locker room just because you’re the franchise guy the FR just because you’re the franchise guy doesn’t make you the leader team you w voice it wasn’t it was James posy go ask your

Daddy man I want to get call when get off the phone and ask your emotional think between being an emotional leader the the Clippers right are the perfect example that kawh Leonard isn’t necessarily the guy who the mostal in don’t be out of pocket I ain’t out of

Pocket I’m good I mean we talking we got Ray and Rondo up here the pat question we can sell this way do we all believe that Pat Bev should be a positive asset absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely yeah got love for Pat perk perk would be uh like addition by

Subtraction in my opinion the way he’s acting now what did I doong what did I do wrong besides praise him what did I [Applause] Do is

Bob Myers, Michael Wilbon, Richard Jefferson, Brian Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins join Malika Andrews on NBA Today to debate the effects of the Milwaukee Bucks acquiring Patrick Beverley from the Philadelphia 76ers.

  1. Didn't expect this take to get this heated between Perk and Austin, and much more that it's about Pat Bev πŸ˜‚

  2. Doc's not with ESPN anymore. Why is his kid still there? This kid is straight up moping on national television.

  3. The only reason I barely watch NBA today is this Richard guyπŸ˜‚ he just has that unlikability* thing.

  4. Perk wanna be right so bad. Austin is right, stop acting like Pat is some big boss rolling up in the locker room running the show. He’s just a loud mouth. You think he telling Giannis anything Giannis doesn’t already know or tell himself? πŸ˜‚

  5. I agree with Austin; the idea the Pat would go to the Bucks and start challenging Giannis is laughable. As someone who is new to the team, Pat's job is to integrate himself into the group, and affect their defensive culture by leaning into his strengths and staring in his role. As someone new to the team, he hasn't built up enough equity with the group to take on an overt leadership role.

  6. Austin Rivers has had to deal with this everywhere and its funny to you all? This man has earned his stripes. "Ask your Daddy" Come on. Fu#* outta here. Y'all leave that man alone with all that nonsense.

    UNPOPULAR OPINION: Everyone wants to route for the poor kid, but hate on the rich ones. I'm not rich, but noticing this in our world has compelled me to route for those hardworking rich kids as much as I can. Let me tell you something you already knew: LIFE IS HARD. THE WORLD ADMINISTERS DEPRIVATION. Money doesn't make it all better, not precisely. People who think that it does are people who have never had it or have never really thought things through. A lot of rich people have committed SUICIDE; they left all that money we care about so much behind because it wasn't nearly enough to bring them HAPPINESS. We all have our CHALLENGES; rich and poor folk alike. Life is difficult enough. Stop making it harder for anyone else. People are TRYING(It is all free men and women can do). They are TRYING TO FIND HAPPINESS, and it is NOT easy. Let people be. Be POSITIVE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH. Be KIND. If you can't be kind, at the very least, leave them alone. I respect you, AUSTIN RIVERS. You TRIED and are STILL TRYING. You have achieved something less than 2% of the world ever have. Don’t EVER let anyone stop you from enjoying it. You are a GREAT MAN. PERIOD.

  7. Can we get more of that on ESPN…LOL he told Rivers to go ask yo DADDY..lmbo. That's the equivalent of "little boy'ing" him. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  8. Austin Rivers been getting treated like a little boy his whole life. He always got that chip on his shoulder and it shows.

  9. Austin obviously just don't get it. Draymond is the voice for the Warriors. Nuggets will be Murray not Jokic. Clippers Westbrook
