NBA Twitter reacts to Austin Reaves’ ‘too small’ gesture at Patrick Beverley

In the closing minutes of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 118-108 loss on Sunday to the Chicago Bulls, former Laker Patrick Beverley scored on LeBron James, then gave him the “too small” gesture.

It was a bombastic move from Beverley, who is about seven inches shorter than James, but it wasn’t the least bit surprising, especially considering he previously said he wanted to knock L.A. out of the playoffs.

But the Lakers gained their revenge on Wednesday with a 121-110 victory over Chicago in the Windy City. With just under three minutes left in the contest, Austin Reaves converted a one-hander over Beverley, then made the “too small” gesture back at him.

James made it clear he appreciated what Reaves did to their former teammate.

Not only did James love Reaves’ “too small” gesture, but so did many fans on Twitter.
