Matt Barnes Reacts to Patrick Beverley’s Chris Paul Comments
Patrick Beverly sent shockwaves through the NBA community when he blasted point guard Chris Paul after a Suns’ blowout loss in Game 7 against the Mavericks. However, not everyone was on board with the comments made by the Timberwolves guard.
Former NBA player Matt Barnes called out Beverly for his remarks about Paul, saying that the digs crossed a line between “critical” and disrespectful. He also pointed out that Beverly, who has never been to an NBA Finals or made an All-Star team, isn’t exactly in a position to be doling out such comments to a future Hall of Fame guard.
