Feud? What feud? Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook may have had one of the NBA’s longest-running and nastiest beefs (dating back to the 2013 playoffs), but they are teammates now on the Los Angeles Lakers, and to hear Beverley talk on Tuesday it’s all good now.
Nothing to see here, move along. Here is what he said, via Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN. “Super excited,” Beverley interrupted when asked about his relationship and fit with Westbrook. “… I was asked this question two, three years ago, [about] someone I always wanted to play with and [Westbrook] was the first name.
I have [known] Bron since I was a baby, a rookie in this league, so obviously I want to play with him. “But a player with that competitive spirit, that fire, that will, that dog, that nastiness, that grit, to have a running mate like that, I have never had that.
So I am super excited to see where it goes. Obviously like any relationship or any marriage, things, we are going to have tough conversations.
