Chris Paul got the last laugh on Patrick Beverley and the LA Clippers, and he is still continuing to laugh.
Paul’s former teammate Matt Barnes posted a congratulatory message to him this week after Paul’s Phoenix Suns advanced to the NBA Finals. The second picture in Barnes’ post was a hilarious meme of Beverley as Motaw from the 1994 film “Above the Rim.”
Paul publicly reacted to Barnes’ post by commenting with three laughing-face emojis, which you can see here.
In the movie, Motaw pulls a gun on protagonist Kyle Lee Watson after losing to Watson’s team in a playground basketball tournament. Beverley’s two-handed shove of Paul in the Clippers’ season-ending loss to the Suns made for a pretty funny meme parallel to that scene.
The former All-Defensive Teamer Beverley will likely earn a suspension for the incident. To make matters even worse for him, he has earned widespread ridicule on the Internet as well.
