Patrick Beverley mulling leaving Israel
The tension between Israel and Iran has made the situation even more difficult, especially with the ongoing military conflict in the region. While a recent ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has somewhat eased the atmosphere, Beverley’s decision still remains uncertain. “I’m 50-50 [if I’ll stay here],” he admitted. “This ain’t about the money. I’m rich as f**k. She’s richer than me. It’s not about money. It’s about who I want to make happy. “I’m in the middle. I’m trying to fulfill my promise of competing,” he went on to say. “It’s like I’m choosing the love of my life and my first love, basketball. I’m left a lot of days drained. It just put a lot of added pressure on my relationship. A lot of added pressure, especially from her side. … It’s so f**ked up because, in the middle of the season, we get this f**king phenomenal coach. [Dimitris] Itoudis is a phenomenal coach. On the first day of practice, I was like, I’m running a wall for this guy. Absolute European legendary coach, which makes it even harder. … He’s Gregg Popovich of Europe. When a legacy is in the building, you smell it; I want some of that.”Source: BasketNews What’s the buzz on Twitter?

And when I say there’s a lot of pressure, I mean a lot of pressure from both of our families—my kids’ mom, her side. It’s very, very, very complicated right now. -via YouTube / November 28, 2024 Patrick Beverley: I’m in Tel Aviv, Israel, right now, and since I’ve been here, it’s been absolutely phenomenal. The way I’m treated, the freedom I get playing basketball, the way the Jewish community has accepted me, the way the country and the team have embraced me—it’s almost like I’m a spokesperson for Israeli sports, if you will. But a lot of people don’t understand this: I have a fiancée who’s from Iran. My visit back home was a pleasant visit, but me being here is causing a lot of added stress. Rone: For people who don’t know, Iran and Israel aren’t on the best terms geopolitically right now. I did not realize that’s your fiancée, my bro. Pat: Yeah, yeah, soon. No, no, no, no—soon to be. I’m popping the question this summer. Soon to be, okay? -via YouTube / November 28, 2024 Donatas Urbonas: Patrick Beverley is considering leaving Hapoel Tel Aviv for family reasons. He revealed on the @PatBevPod that there’s a 50-50 chance he’ll leave Israel. -via Twitter @Urbodo / November 27, 2024
