Patrick Beverley recently signed a two-year, $4 million deal with Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv in Israel, securing a lucrative contract that has drawn significant attention. While this move surprised many, Beverley is enthusiastic about the opportunity and the generous terms of his contract, which he humorously commented on, saying:

“When I make a decision just to go play basketball, everyone now is like the smartest expert of what’s going on in the world. It’s the funniest thing to me. People tell me, ‘Hey, you know it’s war?’ ‘Oh, OK, cool. You’ve been there? You’ve seen it? Or you’re just hearing about stuff that you see on TV?'”

“It’s mind-boggling to me that everyone all of a sudden is a CNN reporter. Did you know, did you know, did you know?’- that’s all I hear. I talked to an American who played there, he’s not currently on the team, ‘It’s paradise. Went to the beach every single day for six hours a day, I had no bad experience at all. I played basketball in paradise.'”

“I started putting the ball in the hole. That was me – I put the ball in the hole. My European career, I was MVP of the same league I’m going back to. I’m putting the ball in the hole. I’m going to win everything.”

“Obviously, you get into the NBA, you have to play different roles. Now I get to go back to a role where 7 seconds to go, give me the ball, watch me rock. Isolation step-back, I get to hoop! The purity in that – that’s what people forget about.”

“It’s cool. I played a great role, I had a phenomenal NBA career when I was in the NBA. But I don’t want to stand in the corner. I had a game when I played with the Bucks. We went Game 5, ball in my hands, dippsy doo, double-double.” 

“In the starting five, there are four of us, me, John Stockton, Steph Curry, Chris Paul. And then Game 6, we get a little healthy, ball’s out of my hand. Not because I did anything wrong, because it’s hierarchy. I’m like, ‘Nah, I don’t think it’s the best brand for me.'”

Beverley is set to bring his signature intensity and leadership to the Israeli team, and he is excited to assume a primary role once again. In a recent episode of “The Pat Bev Podcast,” he shared his thoughts on the move and the chance to be the main player. 

Despite his excitement, Beverley acknowledges the safety concerns in Israel, particularly following a recent drone explosion in Tel Aviv. He made it clear that his safety is a priority and stated, “Safety is important. Bomb goes off, I’m gone.” Fortunately for him, most of Hapoel Tel Aviv’s EuroCup games will be played in Bulgaria, reducing the immediate risk.

Beverley also plans to document his experience in Israel through a docuseries, providing fans with an inside look at his journey. Additionally, he will bring his own personal chef to ensure he maintains his nutrition while being open to trying local cuisine.

Reflecting on his decision to move to Israel, Beverley explained that he wanted more than a minimum-salary role in the NBA, especially when players like Kyle Lowry and Russell Westbrook were securing more lucrative deals. His choice to join Hapoel Tel Aviv allows him to continue playing basketball at a high level while being a central figure on the team.

In his 12-year NBA career, Beverley has been known for his tenacious defense and leadership. Last season with the Bucks, he averaged 6.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. Now, as he embarks on this new chapter in Israel, Beverley is ready to showcase his skills and lead his team to success.
