Patrick Beverley, Russell Westbrook and Kendrick Perkins
NBA star players Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook are known for their fierce rivalry. But after Patrick joined the Los Angeles Lakers, their photos of bromance have gone viral now and then. ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins is adamant that they can build a strong partnership. He also compared this rivalry to the one he had with Kevin Garnett.
Kendrick Perkins said, “When you have seasoned veterans that understand the assignment and understand the mission, they put their differences aside. Me and Kevin Garnett went through the same thing when he was in Minnesota. We couldn’t stand each other. We was almost going blows in the back of the locker rooms, it happens.” He further added, “They’re being mature, seasoned vets trying to figure things out, letting each other know that they have one another back.”
The Los Angeles Lakers did an impossible task of getting the arch-rivals under one roof. It is also rumored that LA Lakers’ new coach Darvin Ham has made plans to keep the two at the center of the strategy and will assign them specific roles. Russell and Patrick might join the NBA legendary duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the starting line-up. Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley’s partnership could play a significant role if the Lakers return to winning ways.
