Charles Barkley On Pat Beverley Shoving Chris Paul: “It Was Just A Punk Move”

Patrick Beverley is far from being a fan favorite. He’s constantly running around, shouting, trying to get into his rivals’ heads, but his antics are rarely effective.

A couple of days ago, he took things to a whole new level by shoving Chris Paul when he had his back turned on him. It was a salty move from a player who knew that his season was over.

That’s why even Charles Barkley, who’s an advocate for old-school physical play – went as far as to deem that a ‘punk move’:

“But, it was just a punk move by Pat Bev. You know, Dan when he almost tried to hurt Chris and danced over him when he was on the ground. Now, he can’t take it when the rabbit’s got the gun. SO, it was just a punk move, Pat Bev is a good kid, he works hard. But, it was just a punk move, plain and simple,” Barkley said on The Dan Patrick Show.

At least, Beverley was brave enough to apologize to Chris Paul after the incident, claiming that he got caught up in the heat of the moment and congratulating him from making it to the NBA Finals:

“@CP3 emotions got the best of me last night gang. My bad wasn’t meant for you. Congrats on making it to the Finals. Best of Luck,” Beverley tweeted.

@CP3 emotions got the best of me last night gang. My bad wasn’t meant for you. Congrats on making it to the Finals. Best of Luck 🤞🏾

Patrick Beverley is an instigator. That’s his role, that’s what he does. He’ll try to get your best player out of the game and force him to do something stupid.

But guess what? That’s just not working. It’s been years since it worked, as the players know better. They know not to retaliate against him and they just ignore him at this point.

Hopefully, he’ll do a lot of soul-searching this summer and realize that he’s way better when he’s just focused on playing defense instead of mind games.
