Patrick Beverley is enjoying the hospitality of Israel
Patrick Beverley has been a man full of surprises but none surprising than when he traded the NBA for across the Atlantic to play for an Israeli-based team. And with the change in scenery and culture, he shared what he’s loved the most since joining up.
On a recent episode of his popular podcast, ‘The Pat Bev Pod,’ the veteran guard talked about how he has been treated fairly and with open arms by his new hosts. Patrick Beverley, by all accounts, is indeed enjoying his time in paradise by this latest revelation.
I mean the Jewish community, they’ve been showing love since I got here. Just wanted to dive into the culture a li bit… that was my whole thought and process before I did it… it’s been life changing.

Although there are fears for his safety, he has come out to talk about it and says he feels safe and fine. Apparently, fans of the team are glad he decided to join them when he left the Bucks.
