To the surprise of absolutely no one, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley was involved in yet another heated moment on the court, this time he was punching way above his class as a basketball player and getting into the face of Memphis Grizzlies superstar guard Ja Morant on Thursday night.

This is nothing new, as mentioned before. The NBA knows that Beverley is an instigator of the highest sorts, with more previous issues with NBA players than the entire Kardashian family. He has always been an issue and he always will be. Here are some of his “highlights:”

Chris Paul has been a frequent offender on Beverley's hit list, but he saves most of his disdain for when he plays the Los Angeles Lakers. As the franchise that took a shot on him out of college before cutting him and forcing him to play overseas, the Lakers have always put Beverley in his feelings. It doesn't matter if it's Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, or the last player on the roster, Beverley always has something to say.

Beverley is always in the top handful of players at the end of the year when it comes to technical fouls, even though he plays roughly half of the number of minutes that the other players on that list play. You have to give him credit, though. He knows his role and he plays it well, not backing down regardless of the size of the player, as this tussle with LeBron James shows.
