NBA fans all over the internet are holding their popcorn and enjoying the feud between JJ Redick and Patrick Beverley. The beef between the two escalated on Wednesday. Beverly spoke about Redick on his podcast and Redick then relied on Twitter to respond to Beverley’s comments. Redick defended his career by using facts and stats in his statement.
“Luckily the cameras in the arena have better eyes than you. 289 halfcourt matchups 21-56 shooting by Harden as contesting defender 37.5% FG (42.9% eFG) 0.94 points per direct iso allowed on 37 isolations I guess that’s getting torched???” Redick wrote on Twitter.
It is evident by Redick’s statement that he’s done thorough research before writing it and on the other hand, Beverley’s comments were much more baseless and disparaging. Beverley clarified that he was dissing Redick only because he was being disloyal to his former coach Doc Rivers.
“You go accountability? Should Doc be held accountable for playing you in that 3-1 series against the Rockets when we walked your ass all the way down 3-1? Should he be like let me get JJ Redick off of James Harden? If I’m being honest he should have started Jamal Crawford,” Beverley said.
