"Most Teammates I Know Who DON'T Love Basketball Are The Really F**ing Good Ones" - Pat Bev

[@khachieu1993]

Rone: "they wind up don't even liking girls" 😂😂 Pat: "chill chill you can't say that" 😀

[@mediavibezproduction2083]

Pat like don’t let the cancel culture attack us

[@kylanselmer4556]

Played in college , not the pros but you can see the love for the game in your teammates. It’s also like depending on where your playing and if your not playing in the system you can lose love for the game💯 I think the love never stops but it’s the passion and wanting to be great like when you first started

[@henrycavillsrealmustache3553]

Its like he said “the really good ones are often the ones that dont actually love it” The shit was just easy for them and so they play and obviously like the game, but dont truly love ittt anymore and just treat it like work. Which is like when im here you get my all but once i leave im not touching a ball until im paid to again.

[@Yutoobster]

Couldn’t have said it better. Exactly what happened to me.

So amazing to hear Pat Bev talk about loving the game. True love

Shaq was perfect example, that's why Kobe started to dislike Shaq as a teammate. Shaq depended on his size.

@@Kharl19 u can obviously tell who "LOVES" basketball like Giannis, Tatum, etc...players who seem to get better every season. The subject of this topic was people who don't love the game...which I agree could be Kat and others. I just believe Shaq wasn't trying to improve but more so relied on his size. Love for for the game means doing more than just show up for practice...studying film, conditioning, etc...

@@blasian_nate shaq improved from his rookie wat u mean? Especially his footwork and post up moves like hook shots, and after losing to the finalsto kenny smith and hakeem, he basically destroyed toilets from not winning You can't knock him down just cuz he doesn't have many weaknesses in his game to improve like kobe and mj had in their rookie years, shaq knew his strength and size would empower anybody and it works 100% everytime and that's how he had grown up and how he kept winning, he can't just change his ideology, that's why he kept saying be aggressive be aggressive until to this day He ain't a very intelligent player too like kobe, and he knows that, that's why he kept doing what he does best He basically grew up winning that kind of way in all levels of basketball, u can't say he's wrong for that

[@elpadrino7101]

What you like about it: " the ball.. the sound, feel.." Those make no sense for those who don't love this game.

Love these questions. And you know Pat Bev loves bball from that answer. You already knew it. But when someone starts with the sound and the feel of the ball. That’s love

[@gore1135]

5:00 because once the game stops giving those things, they realize that basketball was lust not love. If they weren’t the man they wouldn’t play

[@RubenDoe-xm3wu]

In everything you do give thanks but also dont forget the daily bread that feeds you and your family so don't fuck it up. If you want to excell in anything you have to LOVE what you do and do what you LOVE with all your might and the best of your ability. It will always work because of the passion and gratitude towards what you Love. Bless up!

[@leir2005]

Just judging by the title alone, I believe it. Basketball takes a very taxing toll on the body. Lots of injuries and pain that can last years after they’re done playing. Not to mention the deformities it causes to the feet. I mean it was one thing to be on a high school team or get together with the guys on the weekends. I couldn’t imagine playing at the intensity that these gentlemen do. So yeah, I buy it a lot of these gentlemen don’t love basketball but love what it brings them.

[@jaseallenson316]

Well of course. Anytime there is that much money involved, you gonna get a lot of people going down that right for reasons outside of the love for the game.

[@jater10]

They already get once in a generation money. Those like Kobe, MJ, Lebron, who want to go further and win the rings and glory are the one who truly love the game. We can see it.

[@elliottsmith7530]

idk why AD and Harden are the first ones to come to mind in the comments.....ben simmons is THE poster boy for not loving the game

[@CliffPierson777]

Look at some of the guys Pat Beverley played the most games with - Harden, Dwight Howard, Karl Anthony Towns, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard. All except Kawhi are losing players and we can question if any of those guys truly love the game like the old players from the past.

[@geebee44]

Something we all should realize looking at pat's and Rone's answers/questions. and even simply in knowing from your own experience. a lot of people are great at looking at someone else's psition in life and saying what they "do or don't" do. saying things like "this person is crazy for this or that" or "what I would do if it were me is this or that" or "i can't understand how they do this or that." When your're not in that position, not being faced with X, Y, or z... simply you can't say firmly what it is you'd do or wouldn't do. Unless you've walked it you can only speculate! Talking is not the equivalent of doing!

[@willjamesjr]

Pat talking about his love for the game was so powerful & personal. It's easy to see why he plays with that intensity & integrity. We all owe Patrick Beverly a huge apology for how we clowned him after that play-in game. Maybe not Karl Anthony Towns.. lol... he can still be clowned a little bit. lol But Pat Bev deserves respect.

[@dylanlueck132]

AD basically tells us --April 18th” Harden… we just know Kawhi-idk he jus hoop bc he good I think

[@dylanlueck132]

Obviously at some point they all liked ball enough to play hard but mfs also will do anything to not be a 9-5 man and stuck

[@burrybondz225]

Kawhi workouts impress his teammates including pat bev. He just has a broken body.

[@burrybondz225]

Matter of fact if I was as injury prone as AD or kawhi I might start hating the game too. But they still put in even more effort.

[@vindigga6]

Yes, i love the quick thinkingof basketball, its addictive when u can play at a high level. U might have a split second to make a decision; which might effect the next 6 pocessions. Sometimes you have to take the lesser of two evils to win the bigger picture. Its like a high speed chess match.

[@Thewriteway2fail]

When something you love starts to feel like a chore you can lose your love for it. Or losing your childlike innocence. Be it from front office, teammates, medical staff doing shady stuff. Kinda like when you found out wrestling was staged.

[@geebee44]

I get it... just because your're great or even good at something doesn't necessarily mean you love doing it.

[@cyclingpanda1]

NLMB(No Limit Muskegon Boys) (Never Leave My Brothers) is a gang found in Chicago’s east side. NL stands for ‘No Limit’ which is a renegade faction of the Black P. Stones gang, and MB stands for ‘Muskegon Boys’ which is a renegade faction of the Gangster Disciples. NLMB more than anything is a pact between the two gangs (NL+MB), this pact is known as "Never Leave My Brother". As with most renegade gangs, NLMB is die5 and die6 which means they also claim EBK.

[@liammulgrew55]

​@@JukeboxsterIt's taking a shot at them if their players who don't sit out games when their healthy to play you can't say Harden doesn't the love the game because he never sits out doing load management or faking injuries he shows up to play every single game when he's healthy and he even plays through injuries as well so saying a player like him who plays over 70 games a season doesn't love the game is definitely taking a shot at them.

Not loving the game is a strong statement but I think he's talking about guys like Luka that can average 27/10 without giving a shit about their diet. You can tell he's so talented he's not worried about improving/optimizing much. I think not improving their defense is a good sign of this, defense is all about giving a shit.
