Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley sends out rousing message to Blazers Damian Lillard after comments made on Chris Paul

Patrick Beverley may not be playing basketball until next season, but he still seems to be coming for Chris Paul’s a*s.
These two players have always had a certain dislike for each other, despite knowing each other since before they were in the NBA. In fact, that factor has seemed to ignite quite the fire under both of them.
With all that in mind, despite being out of the postseason himself, OF COURSE Pat Bev was going to send some shots at CP3. And well, let’s just say they were about as pretty as Ben Simmons’s jumpshot.
“CP can’t guard nobody man. Everybody in the NBA know that. … He’s a cone. … Give him the Ben Simmons slander.”

Yikes.
This little comment has ignited many within the NBA community to jaw a little back at Beverley, with Damian Lillard being one of them.
Off late, the Blazers star has been making quite a few statements against the Timberwolves star. And well, let’s just say that you’re going to want to see what this man responded with.

Clearly, Dame Dolla is not happy with what he witnessed. And apparently neither did Patrick Beverley, because he gave the Blazers star a little bit of a challenge with his response.

Now, whether he is asking the man to simply get on a call with him, or if it’s to settle this face to face, we aren’t sure. But well, with Pat Bev being as much of a wild dog as he is at times, would it really be surprising for it to be either scenario?
No sir, it would not.
