A biography for Patrick Beverleyhasn’t been written yet.
“I got hit in the face with quarters overseas.”
“When you play me, I'm going to get right up in your grill and let you know it's going to be a long day. It's going to be physical. It's going to be something you don't like. It's going to be hell.”
“I like to stay on the ground, and remember that you get out what you put in.”
“We understand that you can't play all 82, trust me, with injuries and all that. But if you're feeling OK - a lot of people have been banged up, but if you're feeling OK, then you should play. That's what you get paid for. That's what fans deserve. The fans definitely deserve that.”
“Things are not going to be easy, things are not going to be fair. Just do your best.”
“When you come to a new team, especially in the middle of the season, you don't want to come in and be ball dominant.”
“I learned you can't get too comfortable.”
“When you're playing a good team, not too many point guards want to go one on one. When you're playing a not-so-good team, teams that are fighting to make the playoffs, guys are going to want to try and get their own. It's just a different read of each team.”
“I've guarded a lot of people.”
“I don't like people getting the best of me or saying that they beat me. Every game I play, every competition I'm in, whether it's in a game, playing cards, video games, whatever it is, I'm trying to win. That's always been my competitive nature.”
“I'm talking to my teammates and talking to the opponent. That's the type of player I am.”
“I take my role very seriously.”
“I'm all about winning.”
“Anything I do that's competitive, I try to win. That's the way I've always been, and I like to keep it that way no matter what I'm doing.”
“Chicago is everything to me.”
“I just have an ability to heal quicker than others I guess.”
“I'm a Chicago kid. So, of course, I'm open to playing for the Chicago Bulls if that's a team that's interested in me. At the same time, any decision that is made, it's never personal. It's always business. I have to make the right decision for me and my family.”
“First and foremost, you never want to see anyone get injured.”
“I get booed everywhere I go. If that can take that off my teammates, that's good. Everyone else can just be calm.”
“I'm not physically intimidated by anyone unless the Man Above comes and walks into my face.”
