Patrick Beverley discusses evolving relationship with his teammate Russell Westbrook
Both Beverley and Westbrook have said that they’ve become good friends since becoming teammates on the Lakers. They do not have any ill will towards each other and Beverley even discussed how he and Westbrook use the same trainer.
“So me and Russ…people don’t know me and Russ have the same strength and conditioning guy. I’ll come in to workout 6:15, Russ is already there.” – Patrick Beverley
After getting a bit more acquainted with each other while working out, the two noticed that they could relate to one another due to their similar personalities. In their own ways, both are thought of as scrappy players and tend to have critics more often then not.
“I could tell him things other people can’t. And that’s the beauty of when you got two guys, who talk two rams. If you only got two rams, you could only understand things from the other ram. So I’m able to tell him -expletive- that no one else can relate to him on.” – Patrick Beverley
For the 2022-23 season, Beverley is averaging 6/3/2 and Westbrook is averaging 14/6/7.
