Lakers vs. Bulls: Patrick Beverley Hits LeBron James With Epic Troll Job

Patrick Beverly did it again, and this time, he trolled "The King," LeBron James, during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Lakers vs. Bulls game, with the latter already winning.

According to Bleacher Nation, Beverley drove to the middle of the paint, spun, and sent the ball over James' head. As soon as it went in, Beverley celebrated with his favorite "too small" celebration.

Beverley has used this taunt before since joining the Bulls. He trolled Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert and Heat's Gabe Vincent with his favorite taunt these past weeks.

The Los Angeles Lakers traded the veteran guard to the Orlando Magic at the deadline for big man Mo Bamba. Beverley eventually settled on a buyout and a transfer to the Chicago Bulls.

Before Sunday's game, Beverly fired a clap back at the Lakers, which he has been doing since the trade, according to Bleacher Nation.

On his podcast, the Pat Bev Show, Beverley expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity to knock the Lakers out of playoffs in these two games.

Patrick Beverly Taunts Super-Fan Shannon Sharpe: 'Lakers Stinks'

Not only did LeBron James have to deal with Patrick Beverley's antics during Sunday's Lakers vs. Bulls game. The veteran guard seemed to tell Shannon Sharpe, a huge Lakers fan seated courtside on Sunday, that the Los Angeles Lakers "stinks," Sports Illustrated reported.

In Chicago's Sunday victory, Beverley played 23 minutes and contributed 10 points, five assists, and four rebounds. On the other hand, LeBron James was limited to 19 points in 30 minutes off the bench during his highly anticipated return to play.

James' injury had him miss 13 games. Beverley enjoyed a last laugh as he returned to Los Angeles and picked up a big win against his old team, prompting him to slap James with the infamous "too small" taunt.

LeBron James Surprises Fans, Returned to Game Earlier than Expected

LeBron James' return from a foot injury against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday surprised basketball fans.

The Lakers star was not expected to return so soon. Fans can presumably credit the "LeBron James of feet" for that, according to Clutch Points.

James said he went to see the "LeBron James of feet," who gave him hope that he could return sooner rather than later, said Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

James admitted that he had had a tendon tear in his right foot, with two doctors having already advised him to have the season-ending surgery. Clearly, whoever helped the Lakers' star did an outstanding job.

As expected, James' remarks generated considerable discussion among NBA fans on Twitter. Some fans thought he was referring to himself and decided to play based on his feelings.

Others suggested that he had met with the German doctors about whom Dennis Schroder had lately mentioned. Schroder's noted that "German doctors are superb," and the timing makes the latter explanation more likely.
