Wouldn’t Pat Bev be his peer also? Beverly is only a year older than Jennings and he’s actually a month younger than Teague.

It's not about just age you gotta factor in the tier they were on as players. BJ and Jeff were top 20 picks, it makes sense for them to target each other
Pat Bev was near the bottom of the 2nd round, it makes NO sense for them to ever measure themselves next to him. That's that shyt that makes ya soul burn slow if you're Pat.
That's what I mean, they looking at him like he's crazy because he NEVER had a moment in the NBA where they were comparable forreal
The most points he ever scored in a NBA game was 26.....for his career
People don't start playing basketball with the intentions of being defensive/energy guys, they get forced into that role because they not as good at offense as they thought they were. That's Pat Bev
Again there's nothing for them to prove playing against him, and if you looked at when he first started yapping, he was wanting them to do it on a platform he woulda been in control of and make money off of. He's just tryna bait them by dragging them down to his level

Yeah, that's cool. Seemed like he was scared. You talking about you're better than anyone in the class. You'll bust so and so's ass. But you scared to play Pat Bev. Then you try to big time like you had a better career than him? You got it.

Hilarious post to avi correlation
Y'all got it though
that vid of Nick calling him out this morning was hilariousNowhere near the same.
The point is Jennings is nowhere near the level he thinks he's at. Like Teague said, if the only things you can talk about are your high school career and one game your rookie year, that ain't really shyt when you talking to other guys that made the league.
Marcus Thornton was a 2nd round pick, played a year less than BJ but had some good seasons. Is he allowed in the conversation?
What's funny is Jrue Holiday was Gatorade Basketball Player of the Year so the argument can be made he was better than Jennings back in high school too

Pat Bev cooked in high school too. BJ is just an idiot.What's funny is Jrue Holiday was Gatorade Basketball Player of the Year so the argument can be made he was better than Jennings back in high school too
Nah, when it comes to hoops in "real time" BJ was that dude.

That's fine for TEAGUE to say since they actually had smoke from way back, I'm fine with standing on that take
and for the record I do agree that Jennings is a career loser and Teague is cooking him 1v1
Pat Bev and Thornton both kinda just popped up into the convo cutting promos. I'm not rolling with people just inserting themselves in the conversation for engagement
especially once Pat started talking about how he could set it up and all this other business shyt so he could make money off of them, that let me know he has other intentions and shouldn't be taken seriously.shyt Joe Budden tryna do the same thing now with BHen, you know damn well Joe gonna try to have ownership in whatever the end up doing, that's nasty work to me and everyone trying to pull that move should be ignored.
People like that ruin situations that could've just been a quick dope moment, it reminds me of Verzuz and how that got lame once random artist no one wanted to see started chirping at bigger names to get attention

I remember putting foot to ass in the Coli 2k fantasy basketball league with him/Blake Griffin/Dirk as my big 3
Easy
-Pat Bev never had any expectations on him other than being loud and diving on the floor for possessions. Proving you are better than him offensively does absolutely nothing.
- BJ has a top 5 offensive game in the history of basketball as a rookie, up there with Wilt. The only other player from the 2000's in the top 15 is Trae Young. Again, what does a game against Pat Bev prove to anyone? At least Teague had a season where they dominated the league with him playing meaningful minutes.
-Teague is also retired for real and only hoops casually with friends and teaching his HS team, it's an even playing field, Bev is still an active professional hooper, why is he trying to play against retired guys? Shouldn't his comp be other guys still playing?
-Teague is BJ's peer, and they both stated they had a little rivalry between them going back to rookie tryouts for teams, Pat Bev doesn't fit in that conversation at all, he just saw some shyt going on that he wasn't part of and he's trying to bait someone to let him in the club so they clowned him for it.
Imagine someone like Udonis Haslem calling out LeBron for a 1v1 while he's in the middle of setting it up with KD or Carmelo.... we'd all be hoping Bron ignores him because he NEVER was on that level, regardless of how many wolf tickets he put out there it just wouldn't make sense
You can't just let any rando with a platform talk themselves into contention with you. Pat spent his whole career tryna bark at people who were clearly higher than him on the totem pole, why are you falling for his shtick now?
When Dillon Brooks retires do you REALLY wanna see him go 1v1 with people who were legit superstars during the same time?
IIRC this whole thing started bc they were doing a 2009 draft class redraft on a stream and BJ got in his feelings bc they were ranking other guards in the class over him. So while yeah he didn’t call out Pat Bev directly, Pat Bev isn’t completely unrelated from the convo
The whole thing started as a discussion on the 09 draft class. Teague, Pat Bev, Thornton, Holiday were in that class. He said he'd go top 5 in a redraft.That's fine for TEAGUE to say since they actually had smoke from way back, I'm fine with standing on that take
and for the record I do agree that Jennings is a career loser and Teague is cooking him 1v1
Pat Bev and Thornton both kinda just popped up into the convo cutting promos. I'm not rolling with people just inserting themselves in the conversation for engagement
BJ: You know what though, I know I'm going to the Knicks. I killed that workout, I circled that workout.
Low: But they picked Jordan Hill over you though.
BJ: Because my coach in Italy told D'Antoni not to draft me.
Low:
Edit: shyt at 7:37 in the video Gil brings up Thornton and BJ says no. Dude had every right to step in and say something.
Man said a month ago he'd play anybody, now he got all types of qualifiers.
