In the NBA, trash-talking is a religion. For years and years, the psychological advantage has also been gained with words, and that’s one thing an All-Star hasn’t. oubliea. The proof with this sentence assassinates against another player in great difficulty in recent seasons.
Chris Paul is a bit “old-fashioned” player in the sense that the psychological advantage is very important to him. He is ready to do anything on the ground to gain the mental ascendency over his direct opponent, including insulting limit provocations … In the last playoffs, he did not hesitate to attack poor DeMarcus Cousins, reduced to a secondary role, even tertiary on the bench of the Clippers.

Chris Paul’s violent insult to DeMarcus Cousins
And these provocations were obviously recurrent, to such an extent that Patrick Beverley had to come to his aid by violently pushing CP3 in the back. While the former Clippers is serving his suspension following this incident, an insider has exposed the underside of the story. Chris Paul would have had particularly violent words against Cousins. Beverley’s reaction is not that surprising.
Chris Paul reportedly said “you bum ass ni**a! That’s why my son got more money in the bank than you’ll ever have” to DeMarcus Cousins in Game 6 of the WCF.

Chris Paul reportedly said, “You bum, that’s why my son has more money than you” to DeMarcus Cousins in Game 6 of the last Western Conference final. Patrick Beverley heard and pushed Chris Paul.
DeMarcus Cousins can be annoying on the pitch, but does he deserve such an insult? Especially at the level of salaries, he does not necessarily have to complain with his 90 million gain for the moment. He will probably no longer have any big offers (we don’t even know if he will have a single offer), but he has plenty to see in the future. But it is true that it is far from the 330 million pocketed by CP3.
In the end in this story two things are certain. The first is that Patrick Beverley is an incredible teammate ready to do anything to defend the honor of his friends, and the second is that the next meeting between Wolves and Suns will be explosive. Pat Bev will no doubt be keen to make the Phoenix All-Star pay.
Chris Paul gives the image of a calm veteran, able to improve all the strengths… But in reality, he likes to light the wicks and humiliate his opponents. DeMarcus Cousins will no doubt remember this story for a long time.
