If you missed it, Patrick Beverley decided to call out the effort of players in the All-Star Game.
Well, Trae Young didn’t take too kindly to that and fired back!
Young released a video responding to Young’s comments while also dishing a few disses of his own. Most notably, Young trolled Beverley for jumping on the scorers table after a play-in win several years ago.
“I win play-in games on the road and I’m ready to get to the playoffs,” Young said. “You win play-in games at home and you standing on the scorers table acting like it’s a championship.”
On the latest episode of the Pat Bev Pod, Beverly said players don’t enjoy playing with Young because they “don’t think he’s a good leader” and “don’t think he’s a good teammate.”
After Beverly gave his criticisms of Young, the All-Star point guard responded with some of his own.
“I know you were labeled as a tough defender, a great defender, and the accolades say that you were,” Young said in his YouTube video. “But I promise you, anytime you was on the court with me, I was never scared of you. I was never scared of Patty Bev.”
When calling out Beverly’s resume, Young noted that Beverly has been to the playoffs six more times than Young, but he added that they have both reached the conference finals once.
“You’ve been to one conference finals, I’ve been to one conference finals,” he said. “What year was that for you? Just another fact, Year 9. The year I made it was Year 3, just a fact… You talk about a winner, what have you won?”
Young ended his rant towards Beverly with the instrumental to Drake’s “Tuscan Leather,” which features the line “Bench players talking like starters, I hate it.”
Whether you’re Team Trae or Team Beverly, one thing’s for sure – the All-star game was definitely more entertaining with a little bit of drama thrown in. Can’t wait to see how this plays out!
