THE Patrick Beverleywho signed on Hapoel Tel Aviv of Stefanou Dedasis already experiencing a very difficult situation due to the war in the Middle East. However, when he commented on what is happening in the area, he said shocking words, after emphasizing that he is used to living in such an environment, in Chicago!
In the self-published podcast, he talked about his life as a team player from Israel and confessed that in Chicago he was used to seeing young people dieemphasizing, at the same time, that no one was talking about what was happening there!
“I’m used to such an environment. when i was a kid there were more murders in Chicago than in Iraqso I was used to watching how hard it is for young people to die or how to bury those who raised us. So for me there is no security issue, I know this situation I live in.
Now everyone asks me if I’m fine, how I’m doing here. When I played in Chicago, nobody cared that I buried a friend or that I paid for the funeral of a mother who lost her 16-year-old child. Nobody talks about it,” the former NBAer said, talking about life in the US.
Beverley, in fact, also referred to the meeting that took place between the Hapoel players in the locker room after the match with Lietkampelis: “I asked them if their families were okay, that was the only thing that mattered to me. I know everyone is in shelters, but loud emergency alarms disturb everyone, especially children. Unfortunately, they are no strangers to this kind of life and when such a situation becomes the norm, you just get used to it».
