Patrick Beverley jokes about haircut opportunities, possible retirement, and compares NBA games to Netflix shows
During the same podcast, Patrick Beverley mentioned that if he doesn’t play basketball soon, he might retire from the sport in the most recent episode of his show, The Pat Bev Podcast. Talking about it, he said: “Because if I don’t play basketball soon, I’m going to retire. It’s the truth.. I’m not the guy to hold on to it forever, you know. So, with this haircut came pictures, and pictures became opportunities. Opportunities become, ‘Pat, maybe you should do this, maybe you should do that’.”He further joked about the opportunities he got from the haircut. He said: “So, I went to fashion week… I was cutting my hair, right? I cut my hair, and I wanted to show it. This is the new me. This is the new brand. This is the new profile pic, right?

On the other hand, Pat Bev also discussed the idea of sports being broadcast on streaming services like Netflix. Therefore, consumers should be prepared to spend money to watch NBA games if they are willing to pay to watch those in theatres or online through subscription services. Beverley used the example of a Netflix series.”If I want to go and watch Peaky Blinders, I’m going to Netflix to watch it.. I can’t go to this spot and watch it. It’s a reason why I can only watch it on Peaky Blinders. And it’s a reason that, okay, this movie just came out in the movies. It’s out on Netflix.”He further explained:”It’s on Apple and the only way I can get it is through Apple. I have to pay for it on Apple. It’s not an argument when it comes to movies. Why wouldn’t basketball players be put in the same position?” He then added:”They watch TV shows, they watch Netflix…why can’t you afford sports? I don’t think it’s a basketball issue. I just think basketball showed up to the party a little late about it.”

Referring to the lack of effort that players exhibit when playing an All-Star game, he mocked Young.The Pat Bev Podcast, Wednesday’s show, had the former NBA player talk about Young’s reaction to his take on the All-Star game. He also emphasized that productivity is nothing without postseason success. Additionally, he accused today’s NBA All-Stars of “taking the game for granted.”Patrick Beverley continued to discuss Trae Young during his show, telling him to win more games before he spoke to him. “I don’t think he’s won enough to even speak to me… He’s been to the playoffs three times. I’ve been to the playoffs nine times. In my first seven years, I didn’t miss the playoffs at all. I’ve talked to people who played in Atlanta. They don’t wanna play there. Why? They don’t think he’s a good leader. They don’t think he’s a good teammate…”Beverley has always played a supporting role for his teams, even though he made more postseason appearances than the Hawks star. However, after being selected fifth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, Young has served as the team’s spokesperson. Both are exceptionally talented players.
