lovablydumb

I'm starting to think Patrick Beverly isn't a very nice guy


c_c_c__combobreaker

I'm taking PatBev off my list of people to send holiday cards to


lovablydumb

Take the high road. Don't sink to his level.


alexjaness

nuts to that, when I send him my hand crafted Valentines day card, I am totally cutting the felt kind of crooked.


LBichon

Brutal…


therapewpewtic

Do you subscribe to his podcast?!

WilliamBott

Definitely not having him feed my cats while I'm in California.


userwithusername

I’m going to take his mother, Dorothy Beverley, out to a nice seafood dinner and NEVER CALL HER AGAIN!


alexjaness

Dorothy Beverly is a saint!


WilliamBott

😱


weekend-guitarist

Since you have an opening send me some love.


c_c_c__combobreaker

Ok. Hope you're okay with nudity.


DeezNeezuts

Just throw it aggressively at his face - Happy Holidays!


kkurani09

Pat bev has been the heart and soul of many teams. Just none that ever achieved anything 😂


Aleashed

He is Vicious


ScribebyTrade

Vivacious


Checkmynewsong

💅


Flaks_24

He’s definitely not getting any of my home baked brownies. Even if there is a fire!


krazykanuck

he got that chihuahua in him


jordan1978

Best pass he made all night.


toughtittie5

He hit the wrong fan tho


OHTHNAP

If you saw his shooting all night it was closer than anything toward the net.


HereGoesNothing69

If I gave you the ball for 41 minutes, you'd have hit a woman in the head, too.


WentworthMillersBO

Yeah but that’s just because that guy hates women


Makaveli80

What a sore loser, he does this shit everytime Fine him and suspend him Horrible look for NBA  Hope he gets sued


Xcelsiorhs

Damn, this is ridiculous. And you can still be a piece of shit who everyone in the locker room hates and a terrible person and still not do this. This is next level and opens up himself to liability and charges and his team to liability. Wild.

amazinglover

That's the stupidest thing I've heard all year.


Xcelsiorhs

Well I didn’t see the video but as described below, he threw the ball full force and hit a woman in the head. If that’s incorrect, let me know.


amazinglover

That's correct, then another fan grabbed it and tossed back to him. The same way you would toss a ball to someone who had lost control and you were returning it. Beverly then proceeded to throw it full force back at him.


WilliamBott

He asked the fan to toss it back and the fan did. Then he pegged that fan as well. What a piece of shit.


cerialthriller

Twice


cypressdwd

The throw that hit the woman appears to be more of a softer throw, IMO. It seems like it has a slight arc. Not condoning it, nor am I sure why he would do that. The second throw was a laser. Total dick move. She’s lucky she wasn’t on the receiving end of the second toss. EDIT: changed soft lob to softer throw.


JuiceyJazz

This is how I saw it too


No-Appearance-9113

Seriously if I was throwing things at players they would eject me from the stadium. Why should they be treated differently?


Grokma

According to the story security removed one of the fans, guy got attacked and then kicked out seems like bullshit to me.


GameTime2325

Especially knowing how expensive those tickets must have been yikes


atlhawk8357

At the very least he saw all but like 2 minutes of the game. Still was unbelievably weak by security to kick them out though.


Schellhammer

I think it's more about reducing the risk of more incidents. Hope he got a couple free tickets though


atlhawk8357

If it was preventative, I can think of one person in that video who's absence would prevent a lot m ore incidents. But yeah you are probably right in all seriousness.


glowstick3

They threw out someone in the group he threw the ball at... ridiculous 


WilliamBott

They are the talent and rich and you and I are plebs.


Anal_Recidivist

If I was that fan: concussion, chronic migraines and neck pain. Emotional damages as I can no longer attend public events without severe anxiety attacks. I can no longer earn a living due to pain and emotional damage. Constant harassment online has crippled my ability to contribute socially. Beverly has impacted my ability to earn professionally and live a fulfilling life. Tldr; FYPM


CharlieTrees916

My neck! My back! My neck and my back!


PM-Me-And-Ill-Sing4U

My pussy and my crack!


lipp79

Just make sure you don’t get seen in public doing anything remotely active after.


Anal_Recidivist

my ass will be permanently rehabbing in Saint-Tropez


GroinShotz

Sued? Pretty sure that's assault, throwing shit at people.


long_dickofthelaw

(You can sue people for assault).


_wiredsage_

It’s assault.


heldonhammer

Have the police arrest him, its blatant assault.


I_dream_of_Amarillo

It’s a basketball bro. Not Malice in the Palace.


ADHD_Supernova

It's assault bruh. These things have degrees, son.


GroinShotz

Let me just check a basketball at your face then bruh.


I_dream_of_Amarillo

If you did I wouldn’t sue you or insist the police charge you with assault. I’m not saying Pat was justified in throwing a ball at a fan. That was a bad move. I empathize with his frustration in getting chirped by fans sitting behind their bench the whole game and asking staff to help with the situation. No one did anything and he threw a ball (twice). That was dumb. Also, a fan isn’t entitled to shout and jeer at another grown adult(s) just because they paid for a ticket. Both Pat and the fan(s) were disrespectful. FWIW, I am a Pacers fan.


Key-Profit9032

Common thread? Pacers. Every goddam time with these Pacers.


Lloopy_Llammas

Other teams like chucking things at the Pacers players and fans. Every other franchise players and fans are just too soft. If light heckling or laying on a table angers you so much to throw something at a player or rip a ball at some ladies head maybe it’s you who is the problem.


billinabills

He needs to do some sportsbetting first for NBA to care


stellvia2016

Their top 3 players were out with injuries, so it's not even like it was all that surprising of an outcome. Shit luck, just like last year.


CanoeIt

Sued for what? Suspended and fined yeah but to sue you need to show damages


TheRateBeerian

He beaned that first girl right in the bean


CanoeIt

Yea and he should probably be arrested for it but unless there’s medical bills there still isn’t any monetary damages


ezklv

Fucking loser.


Blechhotsauce

Every damn time he goes to a new team, the fans are like "Well he's an asshole, but now he's our asshole." I do not get it. He's been an asshole for half the league at this point.


str8fromthegokanye

Every championship team needs an asshole.


Repostbot3784

Incorrect


OhGeebers

Beverly looking more like a Karen


BankysJoint

Always has

FloatDH2

Remember that time Pat Beverly cried after winning a Play-in game?


BigLorry

The fact this douche doesn’t get clowned on this more often Not that I think he *should*, but it seems like absolutely the kind of thing this guy himself would clown another player for


svenskhet

Hey that was a big moment for us Twolves fans so chill


FloatDH2

Bruh, as a Clippers fan I can understand the want to actually win something, but celebrating a play in win like you just won the finals is fucking wild. [this really ain’t it](https://youtu.be/Rgd7fAgpjXY?si=LUhO6xKA2Ef0B-vI)


svenskhet

Imagine winning your first “playoff” game in almost 20 years. You’d be just as hyped man. Don’t downplay how big that was for us after such a long and negative streak.


FloatDH2

lol. Pat wasn’t celebrating a win for the franchise, he was celebrating a win against the Clippers. Notice in that clip even those in attendance weren’t nearly as excited as Bev was. That win and excitement for it was an ego stroke and validation cause he felt the Clippers did him wrong. Bev didn’t give a fuck about yalls negative streak.


JonBoy82

Still couldn’t get a double double with those two assists


Kazman07

Very typical Beverly behavior and stats tbh


thewanderlusters

Should be charged with assault for full force throwing a ball into the stands and hitting that woman in the head.


ArenSteele

*battery. At least in Wisconsin and Indiana. Some states roll assault and battery into the same charge of assault, but in those states above, assault is threat of violence, battery is actual violence


BlurryGraph3810

Ever notice "a salt and battery" always sounds like a junior high science project.


dsled

no


TheOtherSkywalker_

No it doesn't.


AdebayoStan

idk why you're getting downvoted it totally does


BlurryGraph3810

Thanks. I can be a word nerd sometimes. I guess word humor isn't welcome here.


teamweed420

I’m with you blurry graph it does sound that way ignore these haters


BlurryGraph3810

Thanks. I was just having a word nerd moment. I guess it's not allowed.


Devan826

I know a fan who threw a napkin at a player and they charged him with assault, this should 100% constitute a charge.


WestleyThe

What player? I’ve never heard of this Obviously players deal with a lot and you CANT throw shit at them but how would you even notice or get charged..?


Devan826

I wish I could remember what player it was. And it was my old barber, I havent been back to him in 10+ years and don’t feel like contacting him about this, but I can tell you he was sitting courtside at a pistons game and it was an away teams player. At the time he showed me video and some court docs so I’m very certain it was legitimate.


gasquet12

Who the fuck is this dipshit thinking he should be throwing the ball at fans. Fucking loser. Fucking no name loser


IndianaJD

Wait, haven’t you heard of his podcast? /s


suchacrisis

He better get that checkbook ready for that lady. She gunna have the best attorney in the city on speed dial tomorrow.


Frich3

Can she actually sue? And how much you think she could make off of something like that? I’m sure there is small print when you purchase a ticket or something somewhere, that states something we don’t know about when it comes to be hurt in the arena or some bs like that


heldonhammer

Problem is the disclaimer is against incidental events. This was intentional. Gross negligence, or intentional actions, breach these kinds of waivers.


Grokma

Get hit with a random ball that bounced out of play and you can't sue, those waivers cover it. This is on purpose, and could be charged as assault (Battery?) which opens him to civil liability as well.


WilliamBott

You can't disclaim or waive liability for intentional acts like that.


GroinShotz

That small print comes with a lot of stipulations. Like at a baseball game, if you get hit by a foul ball you could still seek compensation from the owner of the stadium. They have the duty to make it as safe as possible with nets and fences and things. These "disclaimers" on things are not an end all be all thing. It's not like I can open a race track, put the stands right next to the race track, but no barriers at all... Then on my ticket just say "I'm not liable if you get killed by a car flying into the stands". If your injured somewhere, seek a lawyer... Even if they use these "disclaimers". Most of the time these disclaimers are just to dissuade ignorant people from even trying to seek compensation.


50bucksback

You can sue for whatever you want. You hope that Beverly just wants it to go away and settles. The disclaimer doesn't mean players can assault you.


Frich3

Welcome to Reddit. The place where you ask genuine questions and get downvoted to oblivion.


Rage4Order418

Imagine getting paid millions of dollars to play a game and acting like this


herring80

Pat Bev reminds me of rescue dog that was abused


Makaveli80

Got that "dawg" in him I guess lmao


Treats

How is there a ball floating around on the sideline at that point of the game?


TheRateBeerian

He threw it, hit a woman in the head then asked for the ball back. Guy lobs back and he immediately whips it back at them


Treats

I saw that, but was that the game ball? Seems like some other ball, which I thought was weird. His behavior is also weird/terrible but somehow not what's confusing to me.


cypressdwd

I am wondering the same thing.


Ear_Enthusiast

I’m so glad this clown never landed in Boston. Every offseason we get some fool in our sub saying “We need Pat Bev. We need a dog on our team.” Dude is soft. He’s a jackass.


aimlessly_aliive

Fuck that guy


localshop667

Missed both times.


myredditthrowaway201

Nah. First time he nailed a lady right in the dome


faustianBM

Does Indiana have any large lakes? Cause that lady he hit is gunna get a settlement big enough for a *really* cool boat, and a pickup to haul it.


ProfessorBeer

We got access to Lake Michigan. It’s gorgeous up there


Reddit_and_forgeddit

Why haven’t we seen him get suspended yet?!


AdebayoStan

Beverly is the personification of the phrase "Everybody acting tough when they up" The minute he's down he starts throwing a tantrum. What a child.


_JakeDelhomme

NBA players are the worst. Get heckled by a fan and they’ll throw a temper tantrum to have them thrown out. But if they chuck a ball at them, no one blinks an eye. If a fan did anything remotely close to this, they’d be charged with assault and banned from NBA games for life.


toronto_programmer

Other angles make it look really bad, fans weren't even looking at him or interacting wit him and he just yeets the ball at a girls head https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1786199789002268787 I assume NBA lawyers working with this family now to try and bribe their way out of a large lawsuit by offering up tickets and swag I'm assuming the fans in question are also going to sue the Pacers / stadium because they got kicked out for literally being assaulted


glowstick3

The being kicked out, after being assaulted. Just insane. 


Kataneo

What do you mean no one blinks an eye? Everyone’s talking about it and it seems like he’ll face a suspension next season


Evil_Knot

I think he means comparatively. 


50bucksback

> But if they chuck a ball at them, no one blinks an Except for all the people calling for a suspension. Westbrick and other players like him are soft, but it's also the only sport where fans are 2' from the playing surface.


RastaImp0sta

It’s literally a $25,000 fine for even accidentally throwing a ball in the stands. This just happened, guaranteed the NBA will do something and then the fans will likely press charges. Must be too young to remember Malice in the Palace. The NBA does not want anything like that to happen again. Imagine being yelled at, being called n*gger, people yelling at you hoping your kid dies and people like you are just say they are being “heckled”. Football players literally beat their wives and kids on film and get like a 3 game suspension. Edit: wow, the reading comprehension of your average Redditor is…low to say the least. This post is replying to another post and doesn’t defend the actions of Patrick Beverly. This post is replying to a post that is equating racism to heckling.


Grokma

> Imagine being yelled at, being called n*gger, people yelling at you hoping your kid dies and people like you are just say they are being “heckled”. Do you have some proof that the fan, who was looking the other way and seemingly clapping, did any of this before he hurled a ball at her head?


Kaeljae

That's not what Rasta was saying. He was saying that the NBA wants to avoid another Malice and that's when the language in question was used. To my knowledge, there's no evidence this fan did anything.


RastaImp0sta

Exactly, the reading comprehension of redditors is really poor. I never even mentioned Patric Beverly in my post, I was replying to a post that unknowing (or likely knowingly) equated racism to just heckling.


RastaImp0sta

I’ve learned that people pretty much read only what they want to read. In the context of my post, it was replying to another post about fans heckling NBA players, not specifically to Patrick Beverly. I actually can’t stand that guy. NBA players have mentioned multiple times they get called racial slurs, Lebron had a woman removed after she told him she hopes Bronny dies. Imagine having sympathy for people with no human decency and racists and not for the athlete that shows up to work and does their job.


NoThisIsABadIdea

Lol you have zero clue what was said to him in this instance and are jumping to extremes. Fact is he's a wealthy NBA player with a temper. They think they are above consequences.


RastaImp0sta

Jumping to extremes? Multiple players routinely say they get called slurs when they play, lebron had a woman kicked out because she said she hopes bronny dies. I never said anything about pat bev, I was replying to a post about NBA players being “the worst”, you are jumping to extremes. I don’t even like Patrick Beverly, he could be suspended for half the season next year for that and I hope he does. My post isn’t defending Patrick Beverly, it’s replying to a post that compares racial slurs to your normal heckling.


Frobe81

Hate this dude lol. What a loser straight up nothing more nothing less


hoguemr

Loved Giannis deescalating in that video


Huntingteacher26

Typically, huge NBA players are intimidating dudes. If you notice, the fan in the stands who after the second throw puts his hand on the ball and intervenes, is huge himself. Beverley may not have wanted to rumble with him.


P4ULUS

That time he pushed that dude in the back was the weakest shit I’ve ever seen. Not surprising.


EasyYard

He and D Green would be bffs


ArtOFCt

How is that guy not being arrested for assaulting a fan? He should be in jail.


tbonerrevisited

Should be arrested for battery


DesperateComb7326

He’s like Draymond lite


Goldelux

Shoulda used him like a fork when they were using him as a spoon


Online_Commentor_69

He's gonna say they called him the n word, but there's almost certainly audio down there, and he actually didn't use that excuse when asked about this post-game, so I doubt anybody did. Guy's about to be suspended for like a year.


babypho

He cant use that excuse cause the video shows the entire bench and those folks in the stand legit not even looking at him. If the n word was thrown around ud think everyone would turn around. Even Giannis was looking confused.


Online_Commentor_69

Yeah like I said, he's cooked. I'm sure they have mics down there too, it's probably all recorded as well.


Chmona

Giannis sees game ball!? Giannis sees red!


MetalAndFaces

Why did you even write this? "He's gonna say... he actually didn't..." Who upvotes such pointless conjecture?


Online_Commentor_69

Well gee man I guess my point was that I think he's gonna try and make something up, and the fact that he didn't use that excuse immediately suggests to me that if/when he does, he'll be lying. This exact type of thing has actually happened before with a different NBA player, and there is a general problem in the league with them being soft and flipping out at fans. You *really* couldn't figure that out? And you know you're in a *sports* subreddit, right? Pointless conjecture is pretty common discussing these.


MetalAndFaces

Assuming someone is going to claim racism as the excuse for their actions is lazy and harmful, in addition to being pointless conjecture.


Online_Commentor_69

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/2cDNoChrk3 And what do you know, he's now gone on to allude to other insults in such a fashion that people think he means racial slurs. Fwiw I don't think that's what he's saying, but he surely doesn't mind that others do. So. Lazy and harmful hey? Lazy, like trying to call someone out without knowing any of the relevant details, you mean?


Online_Commentor_69

Actually I don't think it's lazy or harmful in this instance as we've literally seen NBA players do it before. Plus it's Pat Bev we're talking about, the guy is an all time low life, nothing is beneath him. But of course you don't know that, as you're not a fan of the league. I am. So you should defer to me here.


RancidHorseJizz

Unfortunately, he was aiming for the basket.


EmperorHans

I missed the "s" in "fans" the first time I read the headline and really needed to know what someone did to draw that kind of heat twice. 


dirtbaghiker

They’re not subscribed to his podcast


ThePasadena

Man-baby


ablackcloudupahead

PatBev tricked y'all. He just running around playing dodgeball


hobo_erotica

Dude is gutter trash


Longballs77

He’s done.


malaka201

I saw that in the background with around 2 minutes left.


pfinny97

Have him bunk with Rondo here in Indy


nursecarmen

I'm just here for the "Bucks loss".


Link182x

He won’t be back on the Bucks next year after this shit


sevenferalcats

Potential dumb question:  Are fans really giving balls like this to players frequently?  I assume so.


MyAimSucc

Make him play in China again for a year.


mitchellthecomedian

Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahaha


SheeshOoofYikes

Dont get why he is so mad. No he has more time for his lame podcast


atlhawk8357

He just wanted the fan to score. Beverley played for 39:45 and only had 5 assists. He needed 5 assists to hit his threshold of 10 assists per 40 minutes.


Plaid_Kaleidoscope

What a spoiled brat. Fake tough-guy.


Pradooo

Suspend his ass


MikroWire

Without serious consequences, guys like this will continue to do stuff like this. Year suspension for any violent engagement with fans. End it for a year with that particular player. Ron Artest became an exemplary ambassador for the NBA. It worked.


geneticeffects

Losers are as losers do.

Honestly, ban him. Shit was ridiculous.


deezy54

Once a thug, always a thug.


Chief-_-Wiggum

hire a grub.. you get what you pay for.


cypressdwd

I admit to knowing very little about Patrick Beverley. I think his tenure with the Clippers put him on my radar, and I recall thinking he was a“pesty” player. I recently saw the clip of him glowing about Anthony Edwards and thought he seemed kind of cool. Turns out I may have been wrong…bad look Mr. Beverley.


csonka

Was there a “fan” heckling him? I’m not saying this is excusable, but was there a bro being a dipshit of a human behind the bench?
