Patrick Beverley got revenge on the Los Angeles Lakers after helping the Chicago Bulls to a win, and he trolled his former head coach Darvin Ham afterward.
The Los Angeles Lakers had all of the momentum around them. They made it to .500 this past week, and on Sunday, they found out that star LeBron James was returning for the first time since late February after suffering a right foot tendon injury. But, the Lakers were spoiled by the Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Western Conference team.
One player who had a blast beating the Lakers is Patrick Beverley, their former guard.
After the game, Beverley was asked if the Bulls were a perfect fit for him. That is when Beverley used the fork and spoon analogy to praise head coach Billy Donovan and ridicule his ex-sideline boss, Darvin Ham.
Beverley said that he’s a spoon, and Donovan uses him as a spoon, while saying Ham used him like a fork. The quote comes courtesy of the Associated Press’ Greg Beacham.

The Lakers brought in Beverley to start the 2022-23 season, but at the trade deadline the team opted to retool their roster. That came at the expense of Beverley, who was traded to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Mo Bamba shortly after he had tweeted his joy that he would be reuniting with D’Angelo Russell in Los Angeles. Beverley was bought out by the Magic and he signed with the Bulls.
Beverley started all 45 games he played for the Lakers, averaging 6.4 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.6 rebounds, while shooting 40.2-percent from the field.
Since the Bulls added Beverley, they are now 10-5 on the year.
During Sunday’s game, Beverley taunted former NFL tight end, Fox Sports personality and Lakers fan Shannon Sharpe by holding his nose, indicating that the Lakers “stink.” Beverley made a shot over James, and then hit him with the “too small” taunt.
In 23 minutes of playing time, Beverley scored 10 points (four-for-seven from field), dished out five assists, and hauled in four rebounds.
After a win over his former team, Beverley poured further salt in the proverbial wound by talking about how the Bulls have utilized him better than the Lakers.
