Patrick Beverley went fishing, and boy did he catch plenty of fish.
The morning after the Dallas Mavericks blew out the Phoenix Suns in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals, Beverley went HAM at future Hall of Famer Chris Paul, who he referred to as a “cone” on defense. Several current and former players sounded off on Beverley’s comments, with Matt Barnes calling Beverley disrespectful, and Damian Lillard asking Beverley what Paul did to him to deserve such criticism. Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant shared his thoughts on Twitter, tweeting that people like Beverley “need to stop.”
