Lakers player Beverley also spoke about recent high scores on the TV show:
"There's no one to defend in this league, bro. No one is going to score 70 points on my head, I'm still playing, I know that. Now that there is really no one to defend, how can anyone get 70 points? When he gets 40 points, I'll wrap him up, and he'll be wrapped everywhere he goes. ”
