Beverley against trend of resting players: That's a disgrace to this league. Fans deserve better
Beverley: "I could care less about coaches asking players to rest or not. It's up to you to play or not, and if you don't, you're disrespecting the game"
Rockets guard Patrick Beverley is absolutely against the the NBA’s trend of resting players.
Per ESPN, "I think that's bulls---," Beverley said after the Rockets' 137-125 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. "I think that's a disgrace to this league. I think that fans deserve better.
"I could care less about coaches asking players to rest or not. It's up to you to play or not, and if you don't, you're disrespecting the game. And I don't believe in disrespecting the game, because there was a time where I wasn't playing in the NBA and I was trying to get here. So me resting, I feel like, is disrespecting me, disrespecting the name on the front of the jersey and disrespecting the name on the back of the jersey."
