Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams on guarding Kevin Durant
21 views11 Nov 2026
When Kevin Durant gets into that unguardable zone, even the league's most relentless defenders are forced to just throw their hands up. During the post-game press conference following Game 6 of the 2019 Western Conference First Round, LA Clippers guards Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams delivered one of the most hilariously candid moments in NBA playoff history. After a reporter asked what more they could have done to slow KD down, Beverley instantly challenged her with "You play basketball before? What you think? That's an honest question." Lou Will chimed in with "I promise we tried," before Pat Bev sealed the reality check: "We had several different coverages for KD... and they didn't work. "This iconic presser came right on the heels of Durant dropping a playoff career-high 50 points to eliminate the underdog Clippers in six games. Despite Beverley pressing KD full-court and the Clippers throwing every defensive scheme in Doc Rivers' playbook at him, Durant scored 38 points in the first half alone- proving why his combination of height, handle, and pure shooting stroke makes him arguably the most unguardable perimeter scorer in basketball history.
