NBA Player Stupidly Whips Ball At Random Fans, Bullies Female Reporter: VIDEO
Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley might be in some serious trouble with the league after his conduct Thursday night.
Beverley and the Bucks got blown out 120-98 to get eliminated in game six of the postseason series, and things hit a breaking point late in the fourth quarter.
The Bucks guard thought it was a smart idea to whip a basketball at random fans, including hitting at least one woman.

Patrick Beverley throws ball at fans.
Just an absolute idiotic thing to do that will guarantee he's suspended for the start of next season and hit with a massive fine.
Would you like to guess who Beverley blamed for the interaction? You guessed it. The fans.
He also did absolutely nothing to tamp things down after the loss. He told a media member she couldn't interview him if she wasn't subscribed to Beverley's podcast, and then pushed away the woman's microphone.
He's 35-years-old acting like an emotional teenager, and 100% deserves to get called out for it. This is some of the most childish behavior I've ever seen out of an NBA player.
This entire situation is also a great reminder that athletes are the biggest fake tough guys on the planet. Nobody is more of a fraud when it comes to acting tough than the overwhelming majority of athletes. It's comical, and Beverley perfectly proves that point.
First, he whips a ball at defenseless fans he knows can't do anything, and then, he follows up that bonehead decision by bullying a female reporter.
He's embarrassing whoever raised him with this kind of low-class conduct and behavior.
Best of luck to Beverley when it comes to dealing with the league office. He's going to need it. Hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
