Patrick Beverley, who was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Cameron Payne and a 2027 second-round pick in 2024, has had an illustrious career playing for several teams. As a remarkable point guard, he has dominated the court numerous times. Beverley, a three-time NBA All-Defensive Team member, surprised many by revealing his top three defensive guards of all time during a recent appearance on a show. The 36-year-old point guard, who recently shared private conversations with a 76ers rookie, mentioned some legendary names for his picks while on the OG’s show.
“All time? Gotta go (Gary Payton),” I put Michael Jordan in there and I’m going Kawhi (Leonard) three if he’s considered a guard.” Beverley said.
Beverley’s first pick for the list was Gary Payton, widely considered one of the most significant point guards of all time. Payton, also known as “The Glove” for his defensive abilities, won an NBA championship with the Miami Heat in 2006.

For his second pick, Beverley chose the legendary player Michael Jordan, who won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and is widely considered the greatest player of all time. Beverley’s third pick was his former teammate, Kawhi Leonard.

Kawhi Leonard, also known as the “Claw” or “Klaw” for his ball-hawking skills and extensive hands, has won two NBA championships in his professional career. Despite his accomplishments, he has faced criticism from fans and analysts for being injured and unavailable to his team during critical times. During a podcast with Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem, Beverley praised Leonard for his extraordinary efforts for the team.

Kawhi. Hardest working motherf—–r I’ve seen in my life. When I say hard working, in the weight room, it’s LeBron. On the court, it’s Kawhi. Together, weight room and court, Kawhi. I ain’t seen nobody like him
Beverley mentioned that Leonard is the hardest-working person he has ever seen in his life. However, his ailments during the most recent NBA season made it abysmal. NBA fans anticipate him to be more fit and dominant in the upcoming season.
