The Beef King put on a show Monday night against the Lakers, and now his words live on as a T-shirt for Clips fans.
With the Lakers’ playoff dreams on the line, it wasn’t LeBron James who showed out on Monday night.
Oh no, it was the pesky Patrick Beverley, who went pound for pound against James all night and helped the Clippers beat the Lakers, 113-105.
By taking it to LeBron & Co. at Staples Center on Monday night, Beverley and the Clippers all but mathematically eliminated the Lakers from the playoffs.
As our Matt Ellentuck noted, Beverley — also known as the NBA’s Beef King — was all over James and soaked in all the boos he was getting from Lakers fans.
Look at this man having the time of his life.

After the game, Beverley made sure to remind everyone about the guarantee he made back in August: The Clippers are the best team in L.A.
By knocking out LeBron James and the Lakers, the Beef King validated his hot take from before the season. He even put some icing on the cake with this fire quote after the game.
Beverley: “I remember it like it was yesterday. I told Shai, ‘Look at the room. There’s seven media here. Watch at the end of the year.’ Like I said about us being the best team in LA. A lot of people don’t believe me. That’s fine. Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don’t.”
And now that it’s official, there’s a new T-shirt and hoodie for Clippers fans to rep around L.A. as Lakers fans sulk in their disaster of a season.
