He didn’t mince his words The Patrick Beverley and on his podcast “The Pat Bev Podcast,” he responded to his critics and shared an incredible statistic that shows just how difficult it is to compete in the NBA.
“I read a statistic a few hours ago that said only 3,400 players have played in the NBA and I am one of them. The awesome thing is that this statistic also counts players who have competed in even 1 match. Only 1,300 of them are alive. 8 billion people live on Earth“, emphasized his former player Olympiakou.
The 34-year-old really fought very hard to be given a chance in the top basketball league, but he not only grabbed it by the hair but managed to establish himself as one of the best defenders in the league.
It is recalled that in the 2009 draft the Lakers selected the experienced guard with the 42nd pick of the second round, but did not keep him on their roster and Beverley initially signed in Ukraine with Dinpro (2009). He then agreed with Olympiakos where he played for one season (2009-2010) and then with Spartak Saint Petersburg (2011-2012) until the Houston Rockets offered him a guaranteed contract in 2013.
