At a bout between two of the trash talkers from the NBA, Patrick Beverley and Whiteside clashed in the first round of NBA 2K21 MT this championship. For Pat Bev, it would be the start of an eventful tournament in which he entertained fans and revealed he is a gaming experience in the sport world.

Whiteside on the other had… uh, he tried, I guess? His one-liners and personality had been on stage, but garbage talk only goes as far as your skills will take you. It doesn’t matter how lyrical or funny you’re together with your insults, if you get embarrassed by what’s happening on the display, nobody will take you seriously. He has also made so I am sure the man will have no trouble sleeping now that his career of being a participant might not be in the cards.

A two-time NBA Champion and also a 10-time All-Star, Durant was the headliner of the 2K Players tournament once the event was declared. The only real problem: The Brooklyn Nets forward lasted only one match, as Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. dismantled him in the first round.

Durant opted to use the LA Clippers within his Nets, which isn’t surprising given the priority set from the championship on the Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. But perhaps if he played as himself he would have a shot — because he dang sure didn’t do too hot with Paul George or even Kawhi Leonard. Durant may have some fantastic real-life basketball IQ and Buy NBA 2K Coins ability, but it did not interpret in 2K. Jones pushed a lead employing the Milwaukee Bucks against Durant and hauled it, finishing NBA 2K20 78-62. What a performance by the 2014 NBA MVP.
