Draymond Green and Colin Cowherd break down Tyrese Haliburton's viral troll of Patrick Beverley, calling him a "con man." They praise Haliburton's planned trash-talk while cataloging Beverley's recent incidents: throwing a ball at a fan, clashing with a reporter over a podcast subscription, and losing composure after playoff losses.

So, Halle goes at Pat Bev on Twitter with the quote, "Con man, frip from above the rim," which Dame previously tweeted about Patrick Beverley. Y'all also should know about the feud that Damian Lillard and Patrick Beverley has had over the years. If you remember back to the bubble, when Dame missed the two free throws, Patrick Beverley and a couple other guys, I can't quite pinpoint who the other guys were, but they were falling over the little stanchion guardrail type billboard-ish thing that was in front of the benches in the bubble. They were going crazy when Dame missed those two free throws. Then the whole thing went down on Twitter. So it got interesting last night. And I must say, I respect Hallie's trolling. Like everybody is not good at trolling. Most people actually are bad at it. You start to see in boxing today, like how bad boxers are like talking and promoting a fight. It's gotten so bad. Like people really aren't good trolls anymore. And so to see Hallie like, Number one, this just didn't come. Howie's been playing, he's been planning this. Like he's been like, oh, I'm gonna tweet this. I'm going at them this way when we beat these guys. Like he been planning this and to actually go through with it, I love it. And the reason I love it so much is because it didn't just start. Like they beat them 5 times in the regular season and was talking to 'em about it. So it wasn't like, oh, it was surprise beef and this just started. No. Both teams got exactly who they wanted to see in the first round. Pacers came out on top. It's still talking, man. I told y'all before though, I love the way those young Pacers compete. I've talked to you about how crazy Nimhard be talking to people on the court.
Right.
And you know, It's really fun to watch. And I am always one to watch the game within the game. I'm just not watching the typical, who scored this point? Who got this rebound? Even typical X's and O's. I'm always watching the game within the game. And I can't help but watch the Indiana Pacers. And one of the most valuable players on the Indiana Pacers is a guy who does not even get in the basketball game. I'm not sure when's the last time he's gotten in the game. Not really why he's there. One of the most valuable players on the Indiana Pacers is James Johnson. And the reason James Johnson, to me, is one of the most valuable players on the Indiana Pacers is because he is the very reason that Halle is talking like that. Like, and cool with it. And y'all ain't gonna do nothing to me. And it is what it is. What you gonna do? And he's the exact reason Nimhard acts the way he acts. I don't know Nimhard from a can of paint prior to playing against him, but I know the confidence that he has on the court, the demeanor that he walks around with, that's backed by something. Like, that's backed by something to know like, yeah, y'all, you ain't gonna touch me. And they got a vet, an OG over there. I always talk about the importance of vets. I always talk about the importance of having OGs on your team. And they got a vet that's well respected in the NBA. And if I'm honest, highly feared by a lot of people in the NBA. And so they walk around like that with they chest out, like they walk around like they untouchable and you ain't gonna do nothing to me. And guess what? Nobody has because they know they got that backing. And so, Again, I'm always watching the game within the game. And to see Halle trolling the way he's trolling, call that man a con man, took Dame's quote and ran it back on his teammate. That's crazy. That's high-level trolling right there. We may have to start some troll awards on the Draymond Green Show, 'cause that is high-level trolling. And I'm rolling with that. This is not a controversial podcast. I don't really love controversy. I'm not really one to try to get in trouble. I thought I just get people in trouble. I've been in enough of my own and kind of see how people try to kick you when you down and you have your moments. And I'm really not one to agree with it. I thought Stephen A the other day talking about, I called the league to try to get Russell Westbrook suspended. It was absolutely absurd. A, this is how we feed our family. And you're taking it upon yourself from your media job to call and say, "This brother, like y'all not suspended." Like, come on. Like, what are we doing? Like that, enjoy the game. Like, that was crazy to me. Absolutely crazy. So I, A, that's not what this is. However, Pat Bev threw a ball at a fan last night. Launched the ball, bam! Hit the girl, boop!
Oh, crazy.
Apparently he didn't hit his target or he had two targets. He got the ball back. Hey, throw that back. Like he checking the rock up or something at the park in Saginaw, Michigan at Unity Park. Hey, check the rock. He checked the rock and bow, threw it at the other dude. And, That was interesting because Pat keep having these instances after they lose, like in these playoff games. And that one, that one might've been crazier than the CP push. I don't know if y'all remember Pat Bell. CP was just walking to the bench, ain't say a word. This one I hated CP, by the way. By the way, y'all, I text CP yesterday. He ain't text me back. So y'all make sure y'all go at CP. Tell him don't not respond to me because our season ain't going no more. But I'm at CP. But anyway, the push on CP. This might've been worse because it opens up an entirely different can of worms. I saw the police getting involved. Those people may wanna press charges, but man, Adam gonna have a problem on his hands with this one because it's about as close as you can get to going in the stands. And that is forbidden for us. So I don't know. Then Pat didn't follow it up very well 'cause he followed it up with getting into it with the female reporter about not subscribing to his podcast. I ain't never heard somebody say, "If you ain't subscribed to my podcast, don't ask me a question." I actually try to take the complete opposite approach because I am very appreciative of the NBA supporting podcasts the way they do. The way the league has supported players branching off and doing these things and organizations have accepted it. At the end of the day, we still got day jobs, and I am never one to try to, um, cross the two. Like, no, my podcast is my podcast, and I'm gonna do this interview, and I'm gonna do the interview as such to something that I want people to see. Um, I'm gonna do the interview as such to where people can get good quotes, and then I'm gonna go do my podcast. And, uh, and I try to always be certain to stay along that line because I am appreciative of the support that the league gives. Pat Bev like, no, you're not subscribed to my podcast. Get outta here. Get your microphone outta here. And quite frankly, I didn't think the lady did anything wrong. And I'm not really sure if one subscriber is like, tilting anything any way for better or for worse. But then Pat Bev doubled down, like, why are you still here? Like, you still in the circle, move your microphone. And so, rough night for Pat Bev. I'm interested to see what happens because I know something's gonna happen. That ball went in the stands twice and—
Yeah.
Man, rough one for Pat. You can't, Pat, you can't keep starting these seasons suspended. I know I am not one to say anything about a suspension, but I'm gonna say it. Pat, you can't keep having these moments, man, at the end of these losses. And brother, I'm on your side because I know how these things go, but they just can't come, they can't always come at the end of a loss. Like if these things don't happen, let 'em happen. Like it is what it is. But they just can't keep coming at the end of a loss, Pat Bev. You starting to look like the kid that's gonna grab the ball and say, "I'm going home." They say, "Ah, I can't play. We outta here. We leaving the park. It's my ball. Come on, Pat." But it got spicy.
