Patrick Beverley plays by his own rules and has never been someone who cares too much about what others think about him. He loves to play the villain and be the instigator on the court, especially if he is coming up against a certain point guard on the Phoenix Suns.
Beverley’s disdain toward Chris Paul is well known at this point, and he also stated a couple of months back that he’ll never stop hounding Paul on the court. With the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the Suns on Monday night, Beverley got another crack at Paul, but it didn’t go well. The Suns, who were without Devin Booker, crushed the Lakers, who were without LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook, 130-104, but that didn’t stop Beverley from clowning his rival in the second quarter.

NBA fans roasted Beverley for doing this while being down 26 points.
“Lakers are just full of unserious clowns. Gotta feel bad for Bron”
“What a clown “
“How down bad are the Lakers Right now?”
“Bev’s hatred for CP transcends the scoreboard.”
“Pat Bev still think he good at basketball huh”
“PatBev really acts like an NBA champ. “
“dude been a clown his whole career”
“Dude is an all time bum. Congrats now hold the L and enjoy your early Cancun vacation”
“Man I was one of the ones who supported Bev coming to the Lakers but Jesus Christ . You got me out here looking wild as hell!!!”
“Bros stat line is 9/1/3 “
“Play-in MVP showing us where the Lakers are in the standings”
“And that’s why you get rid of him”
“He’s just showing us the Lakers odds to make the playoffs……extremely low.”
” you losing by 30″
“Most annoying player in sports”
“Get this man off the Lakers”
“At least he didn’t push anyone in the back tonight so I guess it’s an improvement on how he usually conducts himself.”
That is typical Beverley right there. Getting one over Paul in a game means a lot to him, but the Suns clearly didn’t pay too much attention to what he was doing. They were in complete control of the game at that point and continued their recent domination in this matchup.
Patrick Beverley Seems To Be On His Way Out From The Lakers
Beverley was the major offseason acquisition for the Lakers, but it is fair to say that he hasn’t lived up to expectations. While he wasn’t brought in for his offense, an average of 5.0 PPG on 33.6% shooting from the field is just flat-out terrible. He hasn’t exactly been locking down opponents on the defensive end either, and the team is ready to cut ties.
They held conversations with the Knicks about Beverley being a part of the package to acquire Evan Fournier and also discussed sending him to the Pistons for Bojan Bogdanovic. The Lakers won’t be making any moves for at least two to four weeks, but we can be sure that when they do, Bev is likely to be shipped out.
