“Until My F***ing Bones Pop Out”: NBA Star Patrick Beverley Re-Ignites His Rivalry With Suns Star Chris Paul
In a major trade that sent Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets in 2017, Patrick Beverley was dealt to the LA Clippers. The seasoned guard has not forgiven his trade rival five years later. The 12-time All-Star may have had a legendary career as a basketball player—many refer to him as the God of Point Position—and he has several individual records to support that claim.
However, Chris Paul lacks the same level of respect as other basketball greats in the league as a whole. Patrick Beverley has developed a reputation for being combative and hard-nosed during the course of his career. Given this, it is not unexpected that he wants to get revenge on Chris Paul because the two of them were involved in a trade.
Patrick Beverley discusses Chris Paul rivalry
The LA Lakers guard joined comedian Kevin Hart on “Cold as Balls” to talk about a variety of things. Beverley said that he had “no contact” with Chris Paul when questioned about the potential Hall of Famer.
“No relationship,” Beverley said. “Obviously! He’s in a position (that demands mutual respect) – Point God. Every time I see Chris Paul, it’s smoke. But that comes from all of the things and all the success that he’s had in his basketball career. But yeah, is it pre-season, and I’m picking you up full-court? F*ck yeah. So from now on, until you retire, or until I retire, or until my f*cking bones pop out my f*cking knees, I’m going to hound you. Every single time. And it’s until we’re done.”
Although some might think Patrick Beverley only talks, some of his past deeds support how he feels about Chris Paul. Especially noteworthy was a meeting they had in the 2021 postseason.
