The Milwaukee Bucks got their regular dose of Patrick Beverley on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran guard logged 16 minutes of action off the bench, making sure to make the most of his limited time on the floor.
Beverley finished with five points, a triple, four rebounds, an assist, two steals, and a block in his brief run, once again proving that he’s a valuable asset for Milwaukee’s second unit.
Milwaukee Bucks Star Heaps Praise on Patrick Beverley
After securing a 124-117 victory over the Clippers to snap their two-game losing streak, Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists) shared his hilariously honest thoughts on what it’s like being on the same team as Beverley. The former back-to-back MVP went a bit NSFW as he perfectly described what Pat Bev brings to the table:
“He’s one of those guys that — sorry for my language — that you say, ‘He’s an A-hole,'” Giannis said. “But when he plays on your team, you’re like, ‘That’s my a-hole.’ You know? And I love him. Sorry for my language, but we love playing with him. He’s a leader, he knows how to play the game. He’s a winner.
“I’ve been playing against him for a lot of years now. I don’t think I ever liked playing against him. He always comes in and mucks the game. He’s like an instigator. He pushes your buttons, but having (him) on your own team, he makes the game easier for us. I love playing with him.”

That’s a pretty epic quote.
What makes this comment even more awesome is the fact that Giannis is absolutely speaking the truth here. Anyone who knows Beverley is well aware of how polarizing this dude is. Antetokounmpo is pretty much speaking for every NBA player who’s ever had to go up against Beverley and his antics.
However, as Giannis said, Pat Bev is now Milwaukee’s A-hole.
