Patrick Beverley Says Ball Boy Threatened To Kill Him After ’13 Westbrook Injury

Patrick Beverley says an OKC ball boy was so furious he hurt Russell Westbrook throughout the 2013 NBA playoffs the person really threatened to kill him over the questionable play!

Beverley informed the story throughout a current episode of The Pat Bev Podcast … sharing the wild story with his co-host, Rone, and visitor Dave Portnoy.

PB says everything decreased throughout the preliminary of the Western Conference Playoffs … when the Rockets played the Thunder.

During the second quarter of video game 2, Westbrook, who was taking the ball up the court, will signify for a timeout when Bev, securing Russ, lunged in an effort to take the ball, accidentally getting in touch with Russ’ knee.

Westbrook suffered a torn meniscus, ending his season, and turning Beverley into public opponent #1 in the eyes of lots of OKC fans, consisting of the ball boy, who most likely blamed Pat for the injury.

“I had a ball boy threaten to kill me over the Russell Westbrook injury,” Pat stated. “I get to OKC the next game, the police officers in front.”

“They put a police car in front of my house in Houston. I get to the hotel, I’m on the floor by myself. They passing out papers of a young guy’s face … he threatened to kill me.”

Pat says his head coach at the time, Kevin McHale, alerted him Westbrook’s injury had actually ended up being a hot subject … and the tried take was at the center of the debate.

But, regardless of a minimum of one danger to his life, Beverley says he was never ever phased and was really upset he didn’t come in person with the ball boy.
