Beverley had criticized the league athletes for putting in no effort during the annual All-Star game. In an X post, the Atlanta Hawks star told the former player to relax and let the All-Stars speak for themselves. However, Beverly did not like Young's response:

"I don’t think he’s won enough to even speak to me," Beverley said on Wednesday. "He’s been to the playoffs three times. I’ve been to the playoffs nine. ... My first seven years, I didn’t miss the playoffs at all. ... I’ve talked to people who played in Atlanta. They don’t wanna play there. They don’t think he’s a good leader. They don’t think he’s a good teammate."

"You can make all the money you want. You can have all the leading assists you want. You can do all that. If you don’t win, that sh*t won’t matter. If you don’t win, when you retire they’re gonna forget your name."

While Beverley made more playoff appearances than the Hawks star, he has always been a role player for his teams. On the other hand, Young has been the face of the franchise since being drafted No. 5 in 2018.

Young and Beverley have been entirely different players during the playoffs. The Hawks guard has averaged 26.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game in 27 playoff games.

On the other hand, Beverley put up 8.2 ppg, 4.3 rpg and 2.9 apg in 71 postseason games. Despite appearing in fewer playoff games, Young (713 points) has scored more in the postseason then Beverley (581 points).
