Patrick Beverley's epic rant about superstars highlights Mavericks' strength

Patrick Beverley may be out of the NBA for now, but he certainly has a way of coming back to the consciousness of the league's fans. His latest rant about superstars being afraid of their coaches or not wanting to be coached went viral.

According to the pesky guard, some stars don't want a coach who has "accomplished something in his career." It is partly for this reason that some successful coaches have not found employment in the NBA.

It is unclear which players Beverley referred to. However, given the amount of profanity in his diatribe, it's safe to assume that the subject matter is something he is highly passionate about.

Mavericks' coach-superstar relationship is one of their strengths

Dallas Mavericks fans shouldn't be concerned that "Pat Bev" was talking about the team, though, as Luka Doncic and Jason Kidd appear to have a terrific relationship.

It's worth noting that ever since Kidd took over as the Mavs' head coach in the 2021 offseason, the squad has reached two conference finals and even booked a trip to the Finals last season. In addition, Doncic has only continued to improve every season, proving how the 10-time NBA All-Star has been able to maximize his Slovenian superstar.

Of course, Kidd isn't without faults. He has made plenty of errors during his coaching career. Even so, Dallas likely wouldn't have advanced far in the postseason twice in the past three years without his innovative and even controversial strategies.

The trust and respect Doncic has shown his coach have been key to the Mavs' success and are reasons the team is poised to make another run to the Finals this coming season. The five-time All-NBA First-Team selection even looks thrilled to be working with Kidd, as evidenced by their celebration of his game-winner against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 of the 2024 Western Conference Finals.

Another proof that the Hall of Famer is the perfect mentor for this Mavs group is the way Kyrie Irving has thrived in Dallas after essentially being cast out by the league a few years ago. Being in an organization that has embraced him for who he is and playing for Kidd, who understands his strengths and eccentricities, has allowed Irving to turn his career around.

The former Cleveland Cavaliers champion also acknowledged earlier this summer that he has found the right place to continue his career in Dallas, thanks in large part to the mentorship and guidance Kidd has provided him with.

The 51-year-old coach has done an admirable job defying expectations that many people previously had of him, and establishing a mutually respectful relationship with his stars and players had a lot do with that.
