Milwaukee Bucks fans understand that they cannot hope to win another NBA title to follow their 2021 title without their star players. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are both key cogs in the Bucks roster that even having one of the two absent would end up with the Bucks having to watch the rest of the postseason from the sidelines.
Patrick Beverley witnessed first-hand how the Bucks struggled to keep up with Tyrese Haliburton and his Indiana Pacers without Giannis grabbing the attention of the Pacers defense. He understands that the NBA is a league run by its stars and would be a worse product without them.
However, the controversial point guard cannot help but make some snide remarks regarding how some of these stars handle themselves during the long NBA season.
Former Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley calls out uncoachable NBA superstars
In a recent Pat Bev Show episode, the former Bucks guard said that many coaches fail to implement their techniques in the NBA due to the stars’ blatant denial of listening to their coaches’ guidance.
Per Fadeaway World’s Ishaan Bhattacharya:
“There’s a lot of players scared of head coaches, especially superstars. Some motherf***ers don’t want to be coached. When you’re a coach, especially a coach that won, and you’re coming to a team with motherf***ers that ain’t won before. ‘I don’t have to listen to you motherf***ers, man. I won, y’all haven’t!’… And you’ll be wondering, ‘Man, why didn’t this coach come here?’ Yeah, that superstar scared of that motherf***er, ‘I don’t want him to coach me.’”
While this statement is not a direct attack towards Giannis or Damian, he does attack certain stars known to be divas in their own right. Players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant would be fitting examples of stars the former NBA player is talking about.
Beverley wouldn’t have to deal with those kinds of problems now that he’s out of the league, but he would be more than happy if he’s proven right by a disgruntled star at some point this season.
