Beverly has always been a very controversial and passionate player in the NBA. The player barely has any filter when it comes to expressing his opinions.
Patrick might have a good relationship with Lakers’ leader, LeBron James, but that isn’t the case with the Lakers point guard. Beverly and Russ are known for their intense rivalry. Intense is an understatement for the beef that the two players have. Beverly has not only criticized Russ in the past but has gone to the extent of calling the nine-time NBA all-star, “TRASH”. One can never forget the time Beverly put his hands on his nose to openly state that Westbrook stinks.
Russell and Pat might have had the worst relationship of basketball players but it looks like the two might have to set their beef aside and join hands as the latter is reported to join the Los Angeles Lakers. Pat will be joining the side that consists of stars like LeBron, Anthony Davis, and Westbrook. It sure will be a season to look forward to if this move goes through.

The beef between the two began in the year 2013 when Beverley took out Russ with a collision that ended the latter’s season.

Given that Westbrook has started off his career as a Laker in bad fashion and is already under a lot of criticism. The addition of Beverly will only cause tension inside the locker room and will act as added pressure for Westbrook to prove himself with LeBron and co.
