To say that Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook have had an adversarial past would be an understatement. The two sides have been about as cold to one another as possible after Beverley had a role in an abrupt ending to a playoff run for Westbrook in Oklahoma City.
Though they’ve been anything but friendly to one another outwardly, it appears the resentment hasn’t run all that deep, particularly in recent years. And since becoming teammates in Los Angeles this season, PatBev says the two have become best friends.
Yes really.
At Monday’s media day for the Lakers, PatBev talked to Spectrum SportsNet about his relationship with Russ and the turning point in them going from enemies to friends.
