[Bleacher Nation] - NBA Beef: Trae Young Adds Fuel to the Fire, Slams Patrick Beverley The needs its own reality show! Whether it be blockbuster trades, crazy scandals, or beefing players, the league never fails to keep things entertaining off the court. The latest drama comes courtesy of an NBA superstar and a former outspoken role player! Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks – © Brett Davis-Imagn Images NBA Feud: Trae Young and Patrick Beverley Trade Blows Patrick Beverley recently called out All-Star players for taking the annual event for granted. His response led Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young to respond on the app formerly known as Twitter, telling Beverley to “relax” and let the players “speak for ourselves.” This led Beverley to , and he held nothing back when speaking about Young’s career. “I don’t think he’s in a position to speak. I don’t think he’s won enough to even speak to me like that or tweet me like that,” Beverley said. “He’s been in the playoffs three times, I’ve been to the playoffs nine … His main rebuttal is probably going to be, ‘you weren’t the main player on your team.’ Absolutely right, but that’s why it’s a team. I’ve talked to people in Atlanta, they don’t want to play there. They don’t think he’s a good leader. They don’t think he’s a good teammate … Trae, you can score all the points you want. You can make all the money you want. You can have all the leading assists you want. You can do all of that. If you don’t win, that sh*t don’t matter.” As one can imagine, Young did not take kindly to Beverley’s rant. The four-time All-Star struck back with a nearly . While Young gave his flowers to Beverley for having a long NBA career with some defensive recognition, he slammed the veteran for knowing little about making a true winning impact. Young even went on to list all of the All-NBA and HOF-caliber players that Beverley suited up with during his NBA career, from LeBron James to Giannis Antetokounmpo. “A lot of these wins that you say you’ve had, being a winning player in the NBA, a lot of those wins, basically every single one of those wins, you were being carried by an All-Star, if not two at the same time,” Young insisted. Young made fun of Beverley for jumping on the scorer’s table after a Play-In win and pushed back on the notion that players have hated suiting up for Atlanta. He also urged Beverley to share the sources that criticized the Hawks like a real member of the media. “I promise you, any time you were on the court with me, I was never scared of you. I was never scared of Patty Bev. And, as you can tell, Patty don’t scare me now,” Young said. How can you not love the NBA? If we’re being honest, this whole thing is pretty darn ridiculous. Beverley isn’t necessarily wrong to suggest that the All-Star Game is a joke. The NBA has basically shown they agree with him by changing the event each and every year. At the same time, did Trae Young tell any lies? There is no question that the Hawks’ guard has reached a higher status than Beverley ever did. He is the face of a franchise tasked with taking a team to the top. Meanwhile, Beverley was a journeyman who faced far lower expectations year in and year out. Is Young void of criticism? Of course not. Beverley probably also has plenty of good advice to give! However, insisting that he knows more than Young about winning at the highest level probably isn’t the right move. Anyhow, I’m sure this is the last time we’ll hear about this! If one thing is for sure, Kevin Durant is on Young’s side. The Houston Rockets forward responded to the clip shared of Beverley’s remarks, Welp, cue up the KD-Pat Bev beef!
