Overview

• Young released a near-12-minute video rebuttal denying selfishness, questioning Beverley’s résumé, and noting both have one conference finals despite Beverley’s longer playoff history.
• Beverley initially said former Atlanta players told him Young is not a good leader or teammate and argued Young has not won enough to address him.
• Following Young’s response, Beverley doubled down on his podcast by labeling Young a “franchise cancer” and alleging coaches, players, and executives fear Atlanta.
• Kevin Durant publicly called Beverley “delusional” on social media, and the Hawks’ official account posted a montage of Young scoring against Beverley.
• The back-and-forth unfolds as reports say the Hawks did not offer Young a four-year extension worth up to $229 million, leaving his future with Atlanta unresolved.
