Patrick Beverley loses $500 in half-court shot challenge to podcast co-host
Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley gave his co-host a chance to make money, and he did not disappoint. While Beverley and Rone, his co-host at the "Pat Bev Pod," were away from the mic, they decided to have fun on the court. The NBA guard challenged Adam Ferrone to a bet he didn't think he'd lose.
While recording their podcast, it's usually Rone who takes a backseat and allows Beverley to be immersed in whatever their topic is. The co-host is the one who dishes questions to the Bucks guard, making their show a fun and interactive podcast.
This time, the three-time All-Defensive player challenged his partner to a half-court shooting contest. The rules made by Beverley were simple: Make a half-court shot within three tries and win $500. Much to his surprise, Rone was up to the challenge, and it cost the NBA star as he did so in two tries.
Watch the video to see how Rone surprised Beverley with his half-court shot.
Beverley is set to earn $3.1 million this season. So, $500 isn't going to affect his finances that much. But it did surprise him to see how Rone made a quick $500.

Patrick Beverley embraced his instigator role
Throughout his NBA career, Patrick Beverley has been widely known as the physical instigator of his team. Beverley has never had a problem with being the one who plays rough against his opponents. While other players tend to shy away from that role, the defensive guard has embraced it.
"Basketball is a physical game, obviously," Beverley said. "It's physical. You're going to get hit. I like to be the guy that hits people instead of getting hit."
