WHY WE HATE HIM
Patrick Beverley is the NBA's ultimate pest - a trash-talking, flopping, over-celebrating role player who acts like he's a superstar. His "too small" gesture, constant yapping despite minimal accomplishments, and dirty plays have made him one of the most hated players in the league. He pushed Chris Paul from behind in a cheap shot, celebrated making the playoffs like it was a championship, and gets ejected for childish behavior. Critics say he talks way too much for someone who's never made an All-Star team or won anything significant.

GREATEST VILLAIN MOMENT
"The 2021 playoffs when Pat Beverley shoved Chris Paul from behind during a timeout - a cheap shot that epitomized his villain status. Then, after barely making the playoffs in 2022, he celebrated on the court like he won the championship while his team was a 7-seed. The disconnect between his limited accomplishments and massive ego reached peak levels. His "too small" gesture to players who are objectively better than him became the perfect symbol of unearned confidence."
THE DEFENSE
Beverley brings maximum effort and intensity every night. His trash talk is part of competitive fire that makes games entertaining. The Chris Paul incident was heat-of-the-moment frustration. He plays hard defense in an era where most guards don't. His confidence and self-belief helped him go from undrafted to 12-year NBA career.
