Patrick Beverley Confronted Brandon Jennings On His Live Stream And Challenged Him To A Game Of 1-on-1 For $100k
Brandon Jennings was trying to start a 1-on-1 tournament with former NBA players. Patrick Beverley offered to host it and award prize money, but hadn't gotten any response.
However, he did try to exclude Patrick Beverley from participating citing you must average 10.0+ points per game for your career to play. An interesting wrinkle that likely wouldn't eliminate anyone, except maybe a lockdown defender like Pat Bev who has a career average of 8.3 ppg. Despite averaging 10+ points for three full seasons and 9.5+ points for five seasons, Jennings was clearly trying to shut Pat Bev out.
Jennings, who averaged 8.9 ppg in the playoffs and 6.9 ppg in his final three years was on a livestream yesterday and addressed the situation saying he wanted to play against players that "got buckets", no great defenders.
Pat Bev, never being one to dodge smoke, hopped on the live stream with a challenge.
$100,000. A game of 1-on-1 between Patrick Beverley and Brandon Jennings. Despite Gilbert Arenas pushing him to do it, Jennings clearly did not want any part of Pat Bev.
Arenas even offered to front the money. But Jennings made excuse after excuse to avoid the challenge. Pat Bev even offered to play today, citing he had places in NYC and LA and could be anywhere. But Arenas jumped in saying Jennings would need a couple of weeks.
Where Pat Bev really dominated this argument was when Brandon Jennings said he wanted "real hoopers", Pat Bev cited that Lou Williams was in the draw, who he started over on multiple teams.
Whatever happens, I feel like this issue isn't resolved. Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe to the Pat Bev Pod with Rone. New Playoff preview out now:
