Is the Draymond Green/Kristaps Porzingis beef the hottest beef currently beefing in the NBA? It might be, but there are a few other candidates to consider:
Patrick Beverley/Russell Westbrook – This beef reached its beefiest point when Beverley maliciously attempted to end Westbrook’s career. I think I saw something somewhere that indicated this beef was all beefed out, but I can see Westbrook saying that to get Beverley off his guard. The beefiest part of this beef may be yet to come.
Matthew Dellavedova/Eastern Conference Playoff Teams – Australia is well known for its beef exports, but Dellavedova might be their beefiest yet. When he’s not wreaking havoc with his reckless defensive intensity, he’s winning rings while not even playing in the Finals. You know that just rubs the other teams the wrong way. Jealously is a key component of any beef. However, this beef has simmered down a bit when he got signed by the Bucks, and now resembles venison more than anything.
Derrick Rose/Jimmy Butler – These two former teammates tried to put a good face on their beef, playing nice in the media. Do not be fooled. Rose and Butler were beefing HARD during their time in Chicago, fighting over who would be the ALPHA BEEF. Butler is getting the last laugh, as he gets to be the alpha beef in Chicago while Rose has to suffer being demoted to the delta beef in New York. And you know what they say: old beefs die hard. This one’s not done beefing yet.
DeAndre Jordan/Chris Paul – It is widely known among beef connoisseurs that Paul thinks Jordan is the biggest, dumbest oaf in the history of the NBA. Jordan remains unaware and thinks that they are best buds. But just because a beef is one-sided doesn’t been that it isn’t USDA Grade-A beefage. If Jordan misses one more free throw, Paul is definitely going to go to beeftown to thrown down some beefy beef beef.
