Patrick Beverley wants fans to stop acting like “CNN reporters” by constantly informing him about the situation in Israel. He finds it baffling that everyone suddenly feels the need to share what they’ve heard from the news, questioning if they’ve experienced it themselves.

He mentioned speaking with an American who played there, who described it as a paradise, enjoying the beach daily and having no bad experiences, emphasizing that he just played basketball in a peaceful setting.

“People tell me, ‘Hey, you know it’s war?’ ‘Oh, OK, cool. You’ve been there? You’ve seen it? Or you’re just hearing about stuff that you see on TV?’ It’s mind-boggling to me that everyone all of a sudden is a CNN reporter.

“‘Did you know, did you know, did you know?’- that’s all I hear. I talked to an American who played there, he’s not currently on the team, ‘It’s paradise. Went to the beach every single day for six hours a day, I had no bad experience at all. I played basketball in paradise.’”
