As Roberts was talking about the numbers, Los Angeles Clippers Patrick Beverly quickly pointed out that he wholeheartedly disagrees with her statements. Roberts politely stated that these are just the facts and that the players would have to face the financial out-turn.
Beverly spoke out of turn again to which Roberts asked if she could continue on. This prompted the former Houston Rocket to snap at Michele Roberts say, quote, “No, I pay your salary.”
This resulted in an immediate disapproval from the President of the NBPA, Chris Paul, Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem, and others in attendance.
