It has been well noted here that Patrick Beverley is really freaking awesome.

Eventually, he will reach god-like status and I am certain he is well on his way.

A quick visit to USA Basketball today gave me a nice token of enjoyment on the front page...

Beverley sterilizes a China-man; his children would've been taken by the reds anyways.

Patrick Beverley punching a chinese player in the nuts. In this dead period of the sports calendar, where the only things to do are to watch anti-climatic Arena Football games, get drunk at minor league baseball games -- while keeping an eye on Rick Ankiel -- and wondering how the fuck anyone can think that the Razorbacks are going to meet high expectations, getting a little dose of basketball (in the non-NBA draft kind of way) kind of helps.

So I'm keeping up with the USA U-19 team, focusing mainly on the badassedness of one Patrick Beverley. Even though I mostly do it because I am bored. Shit, I actually watched a soccer game in its entirety the other day, something I can only do every four years or so.

In between watching Stephen A. Smith sock puppets on youtube, I got great enjoyment out of this photo. I only wish there was video of this, it would've provided hilarity on par with Walter Hodge getting pegged in the head by Beverley:


When you are a god of basketball, you can do things like this and get away with it. I predict this season Beverley will be able to go Kermit Washington on Miss State center Charles Rhodes in retaliation for last season's incident and not even be called for a foul.
