Patrick Beverley, an NBA player, recently refused to allow ESPN reporter Malinda Adams to interview him because she does not subscribe to his podcast. During the interaction, Beverley asked Adams if she was subscribed to his podcast, to which she replied negatively. Beverley then stated that she could not interview him, adding 'No disrespect,' and requested her to move her microphone away or leave the area.
