Patrick Beverley is living the dream right now as he gets to play for his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls.
Beverley, a Chicago native, grew up a Bulls fan and he revealed recently that he and his friends used to sneak into the United Center to watch games when they were young.
“Growing up, me and my friends, we snuck into the United Center,” Beverley said. “‘Hey, hold the door open.’ Sit back there, be up there where the light bulbs are. My games are very different, I’m seeing Michael Jordan he’s this small in person. Looking down at the (floor). Grandma had the TV on the porch. Bulls winning championships. Yeah, it was a vibe.”

To go from sneaking into the arena to watch Michael Jordan to getting standing ovations there today is one hell of a story. He witnessed the Bulls win those championships and would love nothing more than to bring another title to the city.
Beverley isn’t putting up big numbers for the Bulls, as he is averaging just 6.5 PPG, 6.4 RPG, and 4.0 APG since his arrival, but he has certainly had a big impact on the team. The Bulls were 26-33 before they acquired him, and they have gone 7-4 since. They are trending upward, and it looks like they will make it to the play-in tournament.
DeMar DeRozan Spoke On Patrick Beverley’s Impact On The Bulls
The Bulls wanted Beverley to bring some ferocity to the court and the locker room when they signed him, and he has done that. DeMar DeRozan stated that the team feels the need to match Beverley’s intensity and energy and added that he holds everyone accountable while competing at a high level.
Beverley had stated after joining the Bulls that he wanted to knock the Los Angeles Lakers out of the playoffs, as they do face the Lakers twice later this month. It might have sounded a bit absurd considering where the Bulls were before he joined, but they might just end up playing a big role in ensuring the Lakers don’t make it in, with the way they are playing right now.
