Following his cheeky celebration on LeBron James in the closing moments of the Bulls vs Lakers match on Sunday, Patrick Beverley stirred up a storm on social media. This marked Beverley’s debut game against the Lakers post his trade, and he was animated, playfully teasing James during his media session post-game. Beverley emphasized, “I jest with everyone, let loose in the heat of the game… It’s all about enjoyment and that’s my approach.”
Beyond James, Beverley took a dig at Shannon Sharpe during the same game, mimicking holding his nose and giving a disapproving look to express that the Lakers were underperforming.
