LeBron James was even mocked by Pat Beverley.

When arriving in Los Angeles for a double confrontation against the Lakers and the Clippers, Pat Beverley had announced the color on social networks by taking a picture of himself, in his car, with rolls of toilet paper (ultra soft) by his side.

Passed quickly by the Lakers at the start of the season, the barking point guard took revenge on his former teammates with a great victory at the Crypto.com Arena.

Since arriving in Chicago, after being cut by the Magic, the team has won 10 out of 15 games, and tonight he weighed on the game with his defense of Dennis Schroder and Austin Reaves but also with his opportunism in attack. Like when he went to write a basket on the nose of LeBron James in the “money time”, before chasing him by showing him that he was “too small” to defend against him!

“I do it with everyone! I’m just having fun. We are not construction workers. We’re not guys who get up at 4 in the morning. We are professional basketball players, and there is nothing but pleasure in that. That’s what I try to do. »

Patrick Beverley, the Bulls’ spoon

Beyond his usual escapades, Patrick Beverley really weighs on the game of the Bulls, as evidenced by their record since his arrival, and he compares himself to a … spoon which allows the ingredients of the collective to be mixed well!

“If I’m a spoon, Billy Donovan uses me like a spoon!” At the Lakers, I was a spoon but they used me like a fork. he explains about his role in the team. “I’m lucky the Bulls called me. I didn’t want to let my city down, nor of course Billy, the players and the staff. I just wanted to play it right. »

Author of 10 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds against the Lakers, Patrick Beverley conquered everyone in Chicago with “his energy, his life and his vocal leadership” to use the words of Zach LaVine.

“He is a very, very frank and direct person” appreciates Billy Donovan. “I think we need that in a locker room. We need to have difficult discussions. We need to talk and communicate, and I don’t think that scares him. But he doesn’t do it in a negative or complaining way. He sees the best in every player, and he tries to make everyone give their best. What’s good about him is that he’s always on his toes. With him, the volume is always at the max, and in a positive way. I love that ! »

One thing is certain, Patrick Beverley does not want the Lakers to have transferred to the Magic. It was even he who had asked to leave as the mayonnaise did not take.

“I’m just trying to play basketball, and Sunday was fun…It was good to see former teammates and former coaches…I’ll never forget the opportunity Rob Pelinka gave me. I will always be grateful to him. We had a lot of fun, but obviously, we would have liked to win more matches. »
