During a preseason NBA game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics at the TD Garden in Boston, Sixers guard Patrick Beverley had a memorable moment.

In the third quarter, Beverley drove to the basket against Celtics guard Jaylen Brown and made a spinning push shot. As he ran back down the court, Beverley playfully made his famous “too small” gesture, lowering his hand to the floor, suggesting that Brown was too short to defend him effectively.

Patrick Beverley is well-known in the NBA for his feisty and instigating style of play. He doesn’t hesitate to engage in trash talk and mental warfare with his opponents, even during preseason games. Beverley joined the Sixers during the offseason after stints with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls last season.

While Beverley may not put up eye-popping statistics, his presence on the Sixers is expected to provide a level of mental toughness that was lacking during the team’s playoff struggles against the Celtics in previous seasons. Many championship-contending teams have players like Beverley or PJ Tucker, known for their gritty and physical style of play.

The Philadelphia 76ers will kick off their regular season on October 26 with an away game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This game is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM ET in Milwaukee.
