Rockets point guard Patrick Beverley got himself involved in a Twitter beef on Wednesday with Jemele Hill and Michael Smith, hosts of the ESPN show His & Hers. It all started after Beverley tuned in to the show—seemingly as Hill and Smith chatted about the Rockets' future—and he had this to say about it on Twitter:
