NBA公鹿昨（3日）裡子面子全失，不僅慘遭溜馬「下克上」淘汰，首輪出局，後衛「天空貝」貝佛利（Patrick Beverley）還拿球丟球迷，賽後更以「超扯理由」拒絕《ESPN》女記者訪問，慘遭媒體群起圍剿。

《ESPN》女記者雅當絲（Malinda Adams）昨賽後向貝佛利提問，沒想到貝佛利竟以「沒有訂閱他的播客頻道」為由拒訪，慘遭媒體圍剿，一堆記者紛紛發文聲援雅當絲。
That's Malinda Adams, ESPN legend. He's not a big deal. She is. From Saban to LeBron, she's covered the best ever. He ain't that. But I'm sure his podcast is. Lol pic.twitter.com/s3Rt4ws8EZ

面對媒體的群起撻伐，就算是「鐵衛」貝佛利也受不了，最後選擇示弱道歉，雅當絲稍早在推特發推透露貝佛利已經有打電話給她，親自向她道歉，而她也接受貝佛利的道歉，另外雅當絲還提到公鹿球團也有派人跟他聯繫致歉。
I want to thank everyone for their kind words and support. I am humbled. Patrick Beverley just called me and apologized. I appreciate it and accept it. The Bucks also reached out to apologize. I've been in news for over 40 years and kindness and grace always win.
