The Los Angeles Lakers are up 1-0 in their series against the Golden State Warriors, aiming for another upset.

LA took down the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in six games in the first round and are off to a hot start in the second.

The Lakers still have some work to do for an NBA title. But with the way LeBron James and Anthony Davis are playing, anything is possible.

If the Lakers do win the title, two former members of the team want credit.

Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley were both members of the team earlier this season, but both were dealt at the trade deadline.

If Los Angeles winds up winning the championship, the two want to be rewarded.

Beverley was telling a story of a recent meetup between the former teammates when Westbrook said he wants a ring.

"Russy goes, 'Hey, Pat. Lakers win, I want my ring,'" Beverley said on "Viva La Stool."

"'I ain't gonna lie, Russ," Beverley responded. "We're going to be suited and booted, boy. I'm going to be right there, waiting on that ring.'"

The championship-winning team's leadership decides who gets a ring.
