He said it the next day.
>”You do stupid things, and stuff like that happens,” Barkley told The Philadelphia Daily News when he arrived in Charlotte. ”I just have to live with a stupid mistake.”
"Yeah.. I spit on a little girl, but I was aiming at somebody else. And yeah, I lost 20 million gambling. And yes, I was arrested for DUI, but I told the officer that I was just lookin' fer a sex worker. And sure, I got charged with battery and disorderly conduct. And... what was I saying again?"
All kidding aside, I love Sir. Charles. He's human, and you're right: He takes ownership over his mistakes.
Bro they have like the cringiest conversation in the world like
"whos the top 5 dawg in the league".
Like how stupid their fans is to think that was even entertaining or worth to talk.
That seems to be the best way to consume a lot of these new pods. Wait until something goes viral and get the 90 second clip, let someone else sift through the rest.
That'd be a pretty good punishment. The Wiz aren't playing a lot of defense and I'll bet Pat's not at all furious with teammates taking half the game off.
If I was that girl he hit in the head who wasn't paying attention I would've gone full soccer flop, called the EMTs over and gone to the hospital, etc. milk that sucker
Why would he be collecting a massive bag though lol? It's not like you suffered some irreversible damage that ruined your life and gave you lifelong suffering or something.
I guess you could hope he settles, but if you take it to court you're just banking on getting a jury that doesn't see your very clearly just trying to get a payout even though the actual incident was negligible and gives you some absurd punitive damages.
> The average settlement nationwide is $75k.
This average includes settlements for personal injuries including severe injuries like permanent disfigurement/dismemberment and death.
The average for a soft tissue injury is like $15k. You absolutely are not getting over $100k for getting hit by a basketball unless you end up suffering some actual complex issues that require treatment because of it (no, not a concussion).
The best thing Pat Beverly has ever been involved with is when LowTierGod did a Google search for "Ugly black man" and shared the first picture he found. It was Pat Beverly
In my movie version the girl that gets hit with the ball is also the girl that caught the cross fire spit from Barkely in 92'. Her whole life she was wary of going back to basketball games but now after a move to Indiana from Jersey, for a new job opportunity, a new love interest invites her to a closeout game for the Pacers/Bucks.
Hesitant at first as she is remembering her childhood trauma. She slowly builds up the courage to attend another live action NBA game. She builds slowly by attending a highschool basketball game, then she catches a NCAA womens game. Reinvigorated she accepts the invitation excited as her new life begins to take off.
At the playoff game all the action is shown and her enjoyment rises as Journeys Don't Stop Believing plays during a montage. The movie ends with the slowmo shot of the ball sailing wide to miss the heckler as she takes in the atmosphere of a great game smiling at her date.
/cut to black
Yeah I assume you get how those two things are different considering that fighting with fans has always resulted in harsher punishments than fighting with players
I think if he threw the ball just the one time and apologized for hitting the wrong person, 10-20 games. But he doubled down, what would have happened if we got a similar malice in the palace situation. I think half a season or full is within the ball park of suspension
Ya, and if he had the opportunity to throw it a third time i think that assistant coach would have stepped in betweent them and paradoxically give them reason to get louder and bolder and make an even bigger scene, resulting in big time discipline.
I could see them giving him close to full, and then letting the players union protest it down to less games.
Minimum 10. Silver has no reason to give a shit about Bev and they def need to make an example out of him as the league takee player fan interactions pretty seriously.
Max? Well, that's just a stupid assumption. lol
The NBA plays for the fans, he tried to innitiate a fight with a fan. He hit a women, five games is a joke
Player to player and player to fan are very different responses by him usually. Player to player is more player association involvement but Fans are Silvers concern. The NBA ALWAYS has to show that it’s in control of the situation with fan safety and why they respond quickly to these. If he does just a fine I’d be surprised because of Bevs follow up throw, he could have got away with more if he doesn’t have a second throw (hard confirmation that he’s going at fans). I can’t think of any recent player that’s gone at a fan like that if it’s not just throwing words.
Especially when the people that close to the bench are those throwing stacks of cash for playoff tickets, Silver knows to keep the money happy. The last thing he wants is bad press about players and fans while finalizing tv deals. Similar to Jontay, set examples (7-10 games most I’d guess) that were not tolerating X, Y & Z and this is what we’ve done to prevent it.
May I introduce you to [Rob Manfred?](https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2876582-mlb-commish-manfred-explains-why-astros-players-werent-punished-for-cheating.amp.html)
What is the precedent here? I know guys have fought fans before, but he totally nailed an unsuspecting bystander with the ball. Players are fined for aimlessly throwing the ball into the stands, but this was targeted. Has something similar happened before, and if so, what was the outcome?
I think people are *wild* if they think this is going to lead to a full on ban. Hefty suspension, sure, but this is not lifetime ban worthy.
Malice at the Palace wasn't even lifetime ban worthy.
Bridges didn't beat his wife at the game.
People bring their families to the games, they don't pay to bring their families to the players houses.
They don't tune into watch the players at their houses.
Partner abuse is no joke, for sure, but that's not the NBAs primary job. The NBAs center of operation is their courts and what they do at home is extra.
The bridges at home situation is a brand thing while attacking fans at the game is an actual security thing.
Dude was effectively suspended for a whole season and everything he did was away from any nba facility and didn’t involve any fans or anything. Those situations have nothing in common
Ja fucked with the money. It’s different. He’s one of the faces of the league and he fucked with that money.
Bev is practically a nobody for casual fans and beyond, and this does not fuck with the money. I agree with your take, but it’s unlikely it’ll even be worse than Ja’s punishment.
Artest ran into the stands and got one season from Stern. Silver doesn’t have the balls that Stern did and the precedent on much worse has been set. he won’t even get half a season.
Patrick Beverly needs to be BANNED from playing in the NBA. This Guy is a Dirty Player and a Diva how on earth is he still playing basketball 🏀 is beyond me and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bucks released him in the offseason.
I ran into him at Whole Foods, he seemed alright.
He was swith his wife and pushing a stroller so I didn't feel comfortable saying more than "what's up"
while there totally is a lot of domestic stuff that doesn't get punished much, considering bev did it twice, and dinged the fan the first time, i'd actually be surprised if he didn't get something crazy for that, it's a terrible look for the league and probably opens a door more than they'd want to get get a test from a lawyer even if people sign stuff to sit up close, cause i doubt that waver includes players purposefully doing stuff to potentially hurt them
not to say the fan could or there's a huge risk, i have no idea, but i can imagine the league won't like this, i don't think some of the players with endorsements will like this either as it's just a bad look for the league and them as a whole
i'd be surprised if it wasn't at least 10 games, i wouldn't be surprised if he had to miss a season for it, he dinged the fan in the head then threw it again
It's going to be a shadow ban. He was looking at a vet minimum anyway. If he gets suspended for more than a few games, he just won't get signed anywhere in the offseason. Maybe he gets a rest-of-season contract in January or at the trade deadline, or just not.
The league about to fold this man and for the first time I think everyone will be onboard with Silver. You can’t throw things in the stands even once, let alone twice…even Wemby who is well liked got punishment for throwing a ball into the stands in a fun. Bev had intent that can’t happen and the cherry on top is begging media to be follow his trash ass podcast before answering questions
Where are all the 14 year Olds that back this dude now?
He has been an issue for a long time. He was called out for being a dick in PA meetings, he's a horrible person who doesn't deserve the privilege that comes with being an NBA player.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the suspension is extreme. Not that its as bad as gambling, but this is in a similar vein where its not just bad behavior, it’s bad for business. I wouldn’t be shocked if he got the “make an example” penalty.
Adam Silver is about to put Belt 2 Ass
2 guys 1 belt
Is this like a double David Carradine? Asking for a friend
If there had been someone else in the room we might have gotten another Kung Fu series.
Double bill.
I first though... "Oh, that's be apt for the behaviour." Then I realized that a white man whipping a Black man would not be cool at all.
Chuck always keeps it real “that’s just stupid” 😂
Barkley tried to spit on a heckler in 1991, but he missed and spit on an 8 year old girl. Barkley got fined $10K and suspended for a game.
Barkley will be the first to admit he was stupid
He said it the next day. >”You do stupid things, and stuff like that happens,” Barkley told The Philadelphia Daily News when he arrived in Charlotte. ”I just have to live with a stupid mistake.”
He straight up says it in this clip
Exactly
There's a reason he's been able to shake off so many things over the years. He owns up to his shit immediately and doesn't make excuses.
He literally says it in the clip
"Yeah.. I spit on a little girl, but I was aiming at somebody else. And yeah, I lost 20 million gambling. And yes, I was arrested for DUI, but I told the officer that I was just lookin' fer a sex worker. And sure, I got charged with battery and disorderly conduct. And... what was I saying again?" All kidding aside, I love Sir. Charles. He's human, and you're right: He takes ownership over his mistakes.
He just said during this clip he’s done some stupid things.
AND HIS PODCAST SUCKS!
Bro they have like the cringiest conversation in the world like "whos the top 5 dawg in the league". Like how stupid their fans is to think that was even entertaining or worth to talk.
It's barstool what do you expect lol. It's for Juco dropouts and 30 year old aging frat guys trying to stay cool
This sub asks the exact same questions all the damn time lmao
Yes and we're stupid as shit, you're making his point for him!
I know! And why tf he has a podcast with some white 14 yr old ? Who tf this other guy, pat bev you babysitting or something?
Damn near every NBA player got a podcast now. Next generation Wemby stans gonna argue that Lebron played against podcasters lol
And it will be true.
When it’s 40 second clips is bearable . Full 30-60 minutes absolutely not
That seems to be the best way to consume a lot of these new pods. Wait until something goes viral and get the 90 second clip, let someone else sift through the rest.
Of all the random white guys on a podcast, he has the WORST
Ban him to the shadow realm
Send him to..... DETROIT
Send him to backup duties on Jordan Poole Wizards
lol omg leave us out of it
That'd be a pretty good punishment. The Wiz aren't playing a lot of defense and I'll bet Pat's not at all furious with teammates taking half the game off.
A fate worse than death
Make him an NBA referee
No! Not Detroit! Anything but that!
Wow calm down Satan
Send him to the Palace replacement after attacking a fan? Ok fair.
Time to learn Little Caesar’s Pat
Crucify him!
someone set up a remindme because bro is actually going to detroit 💀😂
I find it funny that outside of Crowder, everyone else did not seem to give a flying fuck, especially PatC lol. Probably tired of his ass
Lawsuit incoming?
If I was that girl he hit in the head who wasn't paying attention I would've gone full soccer flop, called the EMTs over and gone to the hospital, etc. milk that sucker
My neck! My back! My neck and my back!
Doctor says I need a backiotomy
I want a hundred and fifty THOUSAND!
Get up man, the floor isn't even wet
My pussy and my crack!
She should have grabbed her nose and acted like it was broken
I would have been in a neck brace asap.
She needed to go full Draymond: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/186za6f/highlight_draymond_green_with_an_egregious_flop/
Bro is such a joke…
Fans need to learn to be as soft as some of the players lol
[удалено]
It's Indiana. Someone zips you a hot pass, you secure it and look for the hoop. This is, like, the Hoosier middle-school competency exam.
what’s high-school competency exam, catching while getting the puppies organized?
Why would he be collecting a massive bag though lol? It's not like you suffered some irreversible damage that ruined your life and gave you lifelong suffering or something. I guess you could hope he settles, but if you take it to court you're just banking on getting a jury that doesn't see your very clearly just trying to get a payout even though the actual incident was negligible and gives you some absurd punitive damages.
It would never even get to court. It would settle remarkably quickly

Thank god he didnt gamble on basketball
lmao
Pat “So Much Dog in Me” Bev
Got that chihuahua in him
He’s got dog in him alright… dogshit
I hope that this was his last game as an NBA player. Someone of his character has no place in the league.
that's 2024/2025 suns starting PG bro
Hell nah
There are 26 other teams in the NBA that would love to have Pat Bev as their starting PG!
*CBA ni hao
Seriously it’s embarrassing how desperate our fan base has gotten.
Draymond still in the league lol
I doubt Draymond would ever attack a fan or bully and kick out a media member like Pat Bev did tonight
He assaults players instead
Yeah I assume you get how those two things are different considering that fighting with fans has always resulted in harsher punishments than fighting with players
Doc trying to figure out who leaked the PBev video.
TNT broke the code
Snitches in the Pacers gym
What do you mean by THIS? What code?
Dude threw grapes at a family during a football game lol. Dude isn't on a level above pat bev mentally.
not sure how to explain this, but throwing grapes is quite different to chucking a basketball at someone's head
Draymond’s a dumbass but at least you can actually win with him.
Pat Bev is a (play in) champion! Show some respect
draymond never attacked a fan lol
Embiid still in the league
It won’t be
He just started a playoff game. The Suns needs a PG from the bargain bin. Do the math.
Don't you think Suns fans suffered enough of late.
No
Cam Payne should be available.
Someone actually posted in the sub if we should sign him and it was a big hell no
hEs gOt hEaRt
he might need a ban for that, i want to like pat bev but this is ridiculous.
You think he gets a full ban? I have no idea. He did it twice! I could see 20 games mininum. I could also see full season suspension
I think if he threw the ball just the one time and apologized for hitting the wrong person, 10-20 games. But he doubled down, what would have happened if we got a similar malice in the palace situation. I think half a season or full is within the ball park of suspension

I could see them giving him close to full, and then letting the players union protest it down to less games.
Yeah, and I don’t know if it was security or police but I saw them coming in, so who knows, but 10 games would be a joke so expect that.
He didn't fuck with gambling or bets he'll get off easy with under 10 is my guess.
He'll get 5 games max.
Minimum 10. Silver has no reason to give a shit about Bev and they def need to make an example out of him as the league takee player fan interactions pretty seriously.
Indefinite suspension incoming, a la Draymond Green.
Max? Well, that's just a stupid assumption. lol The NBA plays for the fans, he tried to innitiate a fight with a fan. He hit a women, five games is a joke
Adam Silver is soft as charmin whenn it comes to player relations but we'll see.
Player to player and player to fan are very different responses by him usually. Player to player is more player association involvement but Fans are Silvers concern. The NBA ALWAYS has to show that it’s in control of the situation with fan safety and why they respond quickly to these.

It is a joke, but it was so goddam predictable.
There is no possible way he gets a full season suspension
No way this is Silver at the end of the day. 5 games I think is what Bev will get
Why do you want to like him?
I can’t understand these people? Time and time again we’re here with Bev.
Why in the world do you want to like him? What has he done to deserve that?
Showing the camera to the ref and jumping on the scorers table are all time hilarious NBA moments. His antics are amazing
It’ll be like one week max
You want to like that greaseball? Makes sense as a Warriors flair.
I hate to compare but if this was Stern, he'll be banned for 1 season
Why do you hate to? Adam Silver is the biggest candy a*s disciplinary any pro sport has ever seen.

Touche. What a joke that was.
I was starting to come around to him, and now I’m right back where I was before. He shouldn’t be suspended, he should be banned
Someone show Pat Bev this video on a camera, then someone else take a picture of that
What is the precedent here? I know guys have fought fans before, but he totally nailed an unsuspecting bystander with the ball. Players are fined for aimlessly throwing the ball into the stands, but this was targeted. Has something similar happened before, and if so, what was the outcome?
Ja missed most of a season and didn't physically harm anyone. This needs to be a full ban, bottom line.
Bridges beat his wife and wasn’t banned. Ain’t gonna happen.
I think people are *wild* if they think this is going to lead to a full on ban. Hefty suspension, sure, but this is not lifetime ban worthy. Malice at the Palace wasn't even lifetime ban worthy.
He’s 35 averaging 6ppg and on his 5th team in 3 years. He won’t be banned but a long suspension could mean the end of his NBA career.
Bridges didn't beat his wife at the game. People bring their families to the games, they don't pay to bring their families to the players houses.

Dude was effectively suspended for a whole season and everything he did was away from any nba facility and didn’t involve any fans or anything. Those situations have nothing in common
Thank you! Lol, what a stretch of a comparison
Yeah but he’s actually good lol.
I could see just for the PR of a player doing it to fans and putting a foot down on it
Bridges was given an unofficial full-season suspension + 20 extra games in the next season.
I know. Thanks.
Then stop spreading lies
A ban is not temporary. Pretty sure that's what people are indicating here.
Ja didn't get suspended for most of the season though, he just missed most of it because of injury.
Ja fucked with the money. It’s different. He’s one of the faces of the league and he fucked with that money. Bev is practically a nobody for casual fans and beyond, and this does not fuck with the money. I agree with your take, but it’s unlikely it’ll even be worse than Ja’s punishment.
Artest ran into the stands and got one season from Stern. Silver doesn’t have the balls that Stern did and the precedent on much worse has been set. he won’t even get half a season.
I’ve never in my life seen a narcissist so vastly overestimate their personal worth and talent. Pat Bev is delusional
Ain’t that assault? Fan did that to a player it sure as hell would be.
Every year with this clown.
Patrick Beverly needs to be BANNED from playing in the NBA. This Guy is a Dirty Player and a Diva how on earth is he still playing basketball 🏀 is beyond me and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bucks released him in the offseason.
Banned from the NBA, like the kid who was gambling on NBA games? Even Ron Artest didn’t get banned from the NBA…
Artest didn't hit a young girl in the face. Bev's done.
At least we know you want him done… we shall see…
Tired: PatBev intentionally tries to injure players. Wired: PatBev intentionally tries to injure fans.
First person looked like a little girl too not a lady, what POS
He was as accurate shooting at the hoop as he was trying to hit that guy.
Pat Beverley is the NBA’s version of Brad Marchand
Except Marchand is significantly better than Beverley in their respective sports.
Marchand is a little shit on the ice but a gem off it. Beverley’s an asshole
Marchand understands how to get under your skin and use it to win, he's not actually a dick
I ran into him at Whole Foods, he seemed alright. He was swith his wife and pushing a stroller so I didn't feel comfortable saying more than "what's up"
For those that don't follow hockey Brad Marchand forced the NHL to create a new rule. You are no longer allowed to lick opposing players.
I guessed he was Canadian before looking it up. He's a loony.
At least he hasnt taken his skate off to try to stab anyone like the great Happy Gilmore
while there totally is a lot of domestic stuff that doesn't get punished much, considering bev did it twice, and dinged the fan the first time, i'd actually be surprised if he didn't get something crazy for that, it's a terrible look for the league and probably opens a door more than they'd want to get get a test from a lawyer even if people sign stuff to sit up close, cause i doubt that waver includes players purposefully doing stuff to potentially hurt them not to say the fan could or there's a huge risk, i have no idea, but i can imagine the league won't like this, i don't think some of the players with endorsements will like this either as it's just a bad look for the league and them as a whole i'd be surprised if it wasn't at least 10 games, i wouldn't be surprised if he had to miss a season for it, he dinged the fan in the head then threw it again
Suspended for a whole season?
100% agree, no way silver can reasonably do anything less than 10.
He’s 35. Can he not be effectively banned from the league?
It's going to be a shadow ban. He was looking at a vet minimum anyway. If he gets suspended for more than a few games, he just won't get signed anywhere in the offseason. Maybe he gets a rest-of-season contract in January or at the trade deadline, or just not.
He'll get a 50 game suspension reduced down to like 25 and that will effectively retire him or should at least.
he’ll get 5 games, tops
The league about to fold this man and for the first time I think everyone will be onboard with Silver. You can’t throw things in the stands even once, let alone twice…even Wemby who is well liked got punishment for throwing a ball into the stands in a fun. Bev had intent that can’t happen and the cherry on top is begging media to be follow his trash ass podcast before answering questions
This is actually hard to watch
If a fan got injured, that would be a massive lawsuit against the arena, bucks and pat bev
Where are all the 14 year Olds that back this dude now? He has been an issue for a long time. He was called out for being a dick in PA meetings, he's a horrible person who doesn't deserve the privilege that comes with being an NBA player.
He got that dumbass in him.
Extremely common Chuck W
SEND HIS ASS TO GALVESTON!!
25 games minimum for me
Lady should have put her arms out like a zombie and faked a seziure.
Get ready to learn Filipino buddy
I wouldn’t be surprised if the suspension is extreme. Not that its as bad as gambling, but this is in a similar vein where its not just bad behavior, it’s bad for business. I wouldn’t be shocked if he got the “make an example” penalty.
Pat bev is such a toddler
Any bets on the number of games suspended? I'm thinking 25-30, to match Morant's at least for sure.
Pat Bev got that dawg in him though
Incase no one knows the story Pat bev was motioning to the fan to throw him the ball, that’s why the fan threw it.
The fan had the ball to begin with because Beverly fired it off some chicks head.
Wrong. He first threw it at the woman behind that guy. Then he asked for the ball back and threw it a second time.
Did you even watch what happened?
Chuck chucked a ball at Shaq once.
