Antetokounmpo briefly shared with the media his share of experiences dealing with Beverley’s antics. However, now being teammates with him, Giannis is happy to see Pat being a threat on the court against other players.
“He’s one of those guys that — sorry for my language — you say, ‘he’s an asshole,’” Antetokounmpo said.
“But when he plays on your team, say ‘that’s my asshole’.’ ” You know ? And I love her. We love playing with him. He’s a leader. He knows how to play the game. He’s a winner. “
