Part 4/9:
Barnes pointed out that despite Paul's recent struggles in playoff series—particularly from Game 3 to 7—his overall career accomplishments surpass Beverly's. "Chris Paul played terrible this series and his numbers are still better than your career numbers," Barnes emphasized, underscoring the gap in their career achievements and the respect due to a player of Paul's caliber.
Barnes also mocked Beverly's bravado, contrasting it with his role as a "role player," and stated: "You're not that guy." He argued that Beverly's trash talk was more about character than game performance, likening Beverly to a wrestling heel—someone who thrives on provoking reactions rather than substantive skill.
