(670 The Score) Bulls guard Patrick Beverley isn’t afraid to troll anyone – including the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Beverley gave 6-foot-9, 250-pound Lakers star LeBron James the “too small” gesture after flipping in a short shot in the lane over James to give the Bulls a 10-point lead with 1:12 remaining in Chicago’s eventual 118-108 win in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. Beverley followed up the gesture by slapping the floor and then smiling wide as he ran to the other end of the floor.
Beverley played 45 games for the Lakers earlier this season before being traded to the Magic, who bought him out. Beverley then signed with the Bulls, who are 10-5 since he joined them at the All-Star in February. Beverley and James appear to be on good terms, as the two shared a big hug before the game Sunday.
James, who returned from injury Sunday, won’t have to wait long to get his chance to exact revenge. The Bulls (36-38) host the Lakers (37-38) on Wednesday evening.
