Last night’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers was a roller coaster ride for both franchises as the Lakers won the game after completing a 25-point comeback against the Trail Blazers. In light of this comeback, a Lakers veteran trolled the signature celebration style of the $225 million worth Trail Blazers’ superstar, Damian Lillard. Meanwhile, the 34-year-old’s trolling elicited the attention of NBA fans, making them reflect on the affair on social media.
The 34-year-old veteran who trolled Dame’s signature celebration is none other than Patrick Beverley. The two athletes have a long-standing beef, and last night it was evident that both of them still haven’t settled their beef yet.

In the first half, Beverley and Lillard had a heated argument at the free-throw line which earned Beverly a technical foul. However, when the Lakers turned the entire scenario around by completing the 25-point comeback, the 34-year-old didn’t hold back. He mocked Lillard’s signature celebration style ‘Dame Time’. The Lakers guard faced the crowd and tapped on his wrist several times, wittily suggesting that the imaginary watch was broken.
Pat Bev. 😂😂
