Furthermore, he’s guided OKC (40-24) to […]

The Phoenix Suns are still seeking their first championship since joining the NBA in 1968, and haven’t made an appearance in the NBA Finals since 1993 — a five-game loss to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

Patrick Beverley’s knack for overcoming long odds over his NBA journey apparently translates to the video game arena. After the initial odds for the NBA 2K Players Tournament had Beverley as one of the longest shots to win the tourney — a no. 14 seed, due to his 78 overall rating in NBA 2K20 — […]
