Last season, Patrick Beverley started the year as a Laker and certainly talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk for the purple and gold.
Beverley was ultimately traded to the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba as part of a four-team deal, which helped rework the Lakers roster and set the team up for an improbable postseason run.
Beverley was moved again and landed in Chicago, joining his hometown team. When he faced off against the Lakers, Austin Reaves dominated the matchup and hit Beverley with the “too small” celebration, which quickly became a viral moment for Reaves.
