There has been a lot of gossip lately in the basketball world – some heated, some hilarious, and some puzzling. Lately, there have been a lot of social media outbursts, cryptic posts, and the never-ending stream of podcast jabs. From Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks trading jabs to Devin Booker’s subtle shade during interviews, the NBA offseason gossip mill has been spinning nonstop, and has been tough to keep track of who said what. But just when it felt like the dust might finally be settling, Brandon Jennings stepped up to the mic on Gil’s Arena and dropped a bombshell that no one saw coming. And let’s just say… last shots were fired.
On a recent episode of Gil’s Arena, Jennings finally addressed the elephant in the room—the viral $100K one-on-one challenge from Patrick Beverley that’s been making waves online. While fans and insiders had been dissecting the silence and speculating about the beef, Jennings came through with blunt honesty and set the record straight. With a mix of frustration and finality, the former Bucks guard gave his side of what’s become one of the messiest and most entertaining feuds in basketball’s digital age, making it clear that sometimes, the loudest shot isn’t the one taken on the court, but the one dropped on the mic.
“I never brought his name up,” Jennings said, referring to Patrick Beverley. “I’m trying to conduct business over here, and I got this guy behind me who’s tapping my shoulder.” You could feel the frustration. Brandon came back from his silence and revealed the behind-the-scenes nonsense that had been bubbling for some time. He went on to describe how Beverley inserted himself into a conversation that wasn’t even about him, just to grab attention. “Dude, we are not talking to you right now,” he emphasized, clearly drawing the line. The $100K 1v1 challenge? A classic attention-seeking stunt! According to Jennings. “To throw $100K in my face when the pot is already at $500K, just to insert yourself into the conversation that ain’t got nothing to do with you!” he said. And it didn’t stop there.

Jennings didn’t just call out the moment he revealed the pattern. “You’re doing everything to everyone else with Underdog,” he said, referring to his popular betting site that sponsors the show and is tightly linked with Jennings and his circle. He didn’t hold back and questioned Beverley’s motives. “You mad ’cause Underdog ain’t sponsoring you? You mad ’cause you can’t be a part of us and sit on this couch?” Brandon Jennings asked, clearly referencing Patrick Beverley’s attempts to get in the spotlight. And then came the jab that stung the most: “You came over here twice, we tried to help you, but you ain’t average over 10 & under, dude.” Ouch. That was painful!

We don’t have to pay them to get it,” he said.
