Patrick Beverley is one of the elite on-ball defensive guards in the current game. Beverley’s energy and aggression on the defensive end has been his identity for these past few seasons. Battling through multiple early playoff exits throughout his career, Beverley’s attitude flipped as the Clippers signed Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in 2019.
Around the time of that event, the rather outspoken trash talker overconfidently bid on his team’s chances for winning a title. Contrary to what Pat Bev claims, the trash talk incident with Stephen Curry did indeed happen!
While Beverley took a shot at Steph calling a Clippers takeover out West, what happened was quite the contrary! 2 years the incident, the ‘little brothers’ in L.A. are still searching for their maiden title, and Beverley no longer a L.A. Clipper!
Trash-talk backfiring on Patrick Beverley
On his ‘Pull Up with CJ McCollum’ gig on apple podcast, CJ commented on Beverley’s verbal jibe at Curry. Confirming that it actually happened, McCollum said – “The funny part of all this is that I remember once upon a time Patrick Beverley was talking to Steph Curry during the game at half court. And he told the Steph that you know you guys had your run the next five years are mine and he kind of fast forward and life always I guess it comes full circle.”
The end of the Warriors dynasty brought new contenders to the fore. Beverley, then with his latest entourage, was reportedly told Steph – “You had the last five years, the next five years are mine.”

While Steph, as witty as ever replied – “Aren’t you 31?”, things clearly din’t go as Beverley would’ve hoped heading into 2019-20 with a loaded cavalry. After 2 trades, it looks like Pat Bev is finally settling in with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But, rumors of a buyout continue to persist, considering the Timberwolves have D’Angelo Russell starting at point. Lastly, how has trash talk really worked for Patrick Beverley?
Following the first of many silly/outrageous claims made, Beverley in the 3rd of those 5 years will return to Hollywood, only this time as an opponent!
