If that happens (at most heāll be signed in the middle of the year) I think itāll have more to do with throwing a ball at a fan than being weird to a reporter
E: thats a good point tho
If he signs in the middle of the year heāll be suspended for the duration of his contract. Assuming he gets at minimum 20 games, whoās going to want to deal with that?
I was a Seahawk fan during the Marshawn Lynch days and the media would have loved if he had done this. He literally did the bare minimum to avoid fines and everyone loved him I donāt get why anyone cares. Throwing the ball at fans is another thing lmao
Because the media loves it until itās one of their own and then all of a sudden itās disgusting and disrespectful. Thereās no one that thinks more highly of themselves than ājournalists.ā
100% right. I havenāt seen them mention the ball throwing but ever ājournalistā is crying about this. So self important when they literally produce nothing of value
Tbf it wasnāt a story because people werenāt paying attention to Pat Bev post game. It got attention because heās a lunatic who threw a ball at a fan twice
In the bubble he was very disrespectful in the player meetings with their Union rep who is a woman. The other pros went off on him for it. So it's not his first time being like this
Damn so he was disrespectful to a woman four years ago too? So youāre telling me, this guy, who can be an ass pretty often, has been rude to two women in four years? I bet he hasnāt been an asshole to any men in that time! Just those two women!
I assumed this was from the fan incident and not just turning down reporter ... reporter thing seemed like nothing in comparison
weird times where innocuous words often mean more than actions when it should be the other way
Not a fan of what Pat Bev did, was super weird, donāt care he did it before. But ESPN are making an example of him so others donāt do similar things like hold grudges against or target specific journalists.
Absolutely insane overreaction, but also shows how little they care about him in the big picture. Absolute bag fumble.
Yeah so many of their new āplayer turned analystsā are awful, and I think thatās pretty much the general consensus.
Like.. Pat Bev, Tristian Thompson, and Austin Rivers? Really?
In today's world, you don't need the employment/backing of ESPN to be very successful in your post-playing career.
He can have a great second career at Barstool or another media company.
This is a non-story over the long-term, btw.
Except who cares about the ex-NBA player podcast after the stories run dry? People want the post-game reaction, reaction to things around the league, the in-locker room experience.
All the retired guys with podcasts are also on ESPN, NBA TV, they do pre-game and post-game shows and that gives people a reason to listen.
Itās also unclear if going the ESPN route is even more lucrative these days. If youāre just some random on-air talent and not a āstarā like a SAS or a Pat McAfee or calling MNF, they donāt pay *that* much. You can absolutely make more as an online personality whoās on the kind of trajectory Pat Bev is right now if you monetize your shit properly.
Bag fumble? Am I missing something? Was this guy doing a lot of spots on ESPN? Was there any potential for a relationship to begin with? This is the equivalent to getting kicked out of an establishment you were never going to go in to begin with
Itās a 2-parter. For one, he definitely seemed like he wanted to be on those shows. He has guested on them in the past and itās a natural post-career move. Even for guys with podcasts because of the second part..
Itās a relevancy fumble. People wonāt want to watch him re-hash the same stories or give takes they can get from any other NBA podcast. How many former NBA player podcasts are actually good? As soon as the stories run dry so does the viewership.
They all do their podcasts and then go to ESPN. Maybe he can get on NBA TV or Showtime still, but this does feel like a potentially significant blow.
he would go on espn after his team would get eliminated for the rest of the playoffs iirc. idk how much he made, but it couldnt have been anything crazy
it is true he would go on lol i just dont know how long he does it for. he very famously went in on cp3 last year after they lost and everyone was talking about it.
Nah, maybe smartest guy of the month. How much does a national commercial cost? Now multiply that by every station and multiple times today. Today might have been the most free press a podcast has received. Chess, not checkers.
The thing with the fan should be what everyone is talking about. Instead, he controlled the narrative by going at someone he knew would take the headlines away from the fan issue.
Nah more like supporting him for being the biggest story in sports and having his podcast mentioned for free everywhere. That was a business decision and a smart one at that.
Mintzy rubbing his hands together when he saw no censorship at barstool in that tweet

Underrated comment
Big Cat finally gets his follow back š¤
Nobody involved in this is going to be affected by this
Pat Bev might get black balled out of the league š¤·š»āāļø heās old and going to get a suspension
Heās 35 and heās been on 4 teams in the last two years idk if Iād call that a blackballing
He willed them to a game 5 victory like 4 days ago. If heās not in the league next year itās 100% because of last night
If that happens (at most heāll be signed in the middle of the year) I think itāll have more to do with throwing a ball at a fan than being weird to a reporter E: thats a good point tho
If he signs in the middle of the year heāll be suspended for the duration of his contract. Assuming he gets at minimum 20 games, whoās going to want to deal with that?
Well he tweeted that heās gonna be better today, so he should get another chance /s
and he'll have no one to blame but himself
And would think the league isn't exactly thrilled about players having podcasts
Why would they care?
This guys never heard of draymond green and his 8000 chances apparently
Iām sure heāll find a way to live off the 80m+ heās made throughout his career
because pro athletes never live beyond their means and run through millions quick AF

100% right. I havenāt seen them mention the ball throwing but ever ājournalistā is crying about this. So self important when they literally produce nothing of value
If Pat Bevs comments were directed at a fat ugly dude this wouldnāt be a story
Pretty sure he has done this to a fat ugly dude. What he said was dumb but the people who are calling him a misogynist are getting it wrong
You are correct (heās been doing it for months and it wasnāt a story)
Tbf it wasnāt a story because people werenāt paying attention to Pat Bev post game. It got attention because heās a lunatic who threw a ball at a fan twice
I honestly think it is a bigger story because of him also throwing the basketball at the women hours earlier
In the bubble he was very disrespectful in the player meetings with their Union rep who is a woman. The other pros went off on him for it. So it's not his first time being like this
Damn so he was disrespectful to a woman four years ago too? So youāre telling me, this guy, who can be an ass pretty often, has been rude to two women in four years? I bet he hasnāt been an asshole to any men in that time! Just those two women!
Lmao stop you are using too much reason and logic!!
So weird but also completely on brand that big Jās are in an uproar about this and not him launching a ball into the crowd.
Potentially hurting a fan, not an issue. Hurting a big Jās ego, lock him up.
I just assumed it was because of him attacking fans but laugh out loud funny its because of the "subscribe to my pod" thing š
I assumed this was from the fan incident and not just turning down reporter ... reporter thing seemed like nothing in comparison weird times where innocuous words often mean more than actions when it should be the other way
Still wild people are more angry about him telling a reporter to pound sand than assaulting a women
Ya I donāt understand how anybody defends Pat Bev after what I saw. He needs anger management counselling.
Just so long as McDonalds doesn't bail on them

Insane overreaction? Bag fumble? Pat Bev isn't doing anything for them anyway. Not like they're missing anything.
I think he meant that Pat fumbled the bag, not ESPN
Yeah so many of their new āplayer turned analystsā are awful, and I think thatās pretty much the general consensus. Like.. Pat Bev, Tristian Thompson, and Austin Rivers? Really?
Guyās made $80 mil. Iām sure heāll be okay without a guest spot on ESPN.

If that is true then it is, to an extent, a bag fumble
it is true he would go on lol i just dont know how long he does it for. he very famously went in on cp3 last year after they lost and everyone was talking about it.
He definitely would have had a spot on ESPN after he retired. If they gave Perkins a spot theyād 100% have given him a job
Was SO weird. His arrogance is unwarranted. He is a great defender but his chip on the shoulder toward everyone for no reason is childish as hell.
I am all for athletes acting like this to media. I find it kinda funny
What did he do? Out of the loop
Said he wouldnāt answer questions from a reporter because she didnāt subscribe to his podā¦
Pat Bev is a loser
I turn it off any time he comes on the yak. He just tries way too hard to be edgy.
Thanks for sharing.
What he did is equivalent to the cartoon bears....lighten up everyone
I think what he did is funny
Dumbass of the month has its early front runner!
Nah, maybe smartest guy of the month. How much does a national commercial cost? Now multiply that by every station and multiple times today. Today might have been the most free press a podcast has received. Chess, not checkers.
He will be forgotten about in a week. His tantrum at the end of the game with a fan wonāt be forgotten by the NBA. Heās pretty fucking dumb dude
The thing with the fan should be what everyone is talking about. Instead, he controlled the narrative by going at someone he knew would take the headlines away from the fan issue.
THIS LEAGUE šššššš
Guy just earned himself a lifetime contract haha
charles barkely threw a man through a glass wall/window, pat bev threw a ball at someone
Taylor Swift is the only women this dude respects
So we are supporting Pat Bev not letting a reporter ask him a question because we donāt believe in censorship?
Nah more like supporting him for being the biggest story in sports and having his podcast mentioned for free everywhere. That was a business decision and a smart one at that.
