Despite being heavy favorites for the NBA title, the LA Clippers had a disappointing season as they crashed out of the playoffs with a loss to the Denver Nuggets.
The LA Clippers were confident about their chances to win a ring, especially guard Patrick Beverley. Beverley was quite vocal during the regular season, suggesting that the LA Clippers were a lock for the title, which exuded of arrogance. However, the Clippers went out in the second round, and Beverley was heavily ridiculed for his comments.
In an appearance on 'Real ones' pod, LA Lakers' Danny Green shared his thoughts on Beverley's arrogance:
"I think the basketball Gods will humble you if you don’t play the game the right way or do the right thing. . . You shouldn’t be as cocky or because a lot of times it’s going to go the opposite way."
Danny Green and the LA Lakers will now prepare for the next season, as the Lakers look to win back-to-back NBA titles.
