The Lakers’ acquisition of Patrick Beverley was an easy decision. Last season, Los Angeles desperately lacked a defensive identity and a role player who has a knack for getting under the opponent’s skin. What they didn’t know they’d get from him, was pure comedy.
During Lakers Media Day Monday, TNT sideline reporter Chris Haynes asked Lakers players for their favorite LeBron James play, and Beverley didn’t appear to completely understand the assignment. Haynes said that Beverley named the 2019 play where he blocked James as his favorite moment from his new teammate. James found the answer typical and, of course, hysterical.
