Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook had been beefing for years before they became teammates on the Lakers. Since then the two point guard became close friends.
According to Beverley, they are lifetime friends. One thing that he learned about Russ was that he knows the game of basketball at a deep level.
“It’s my dog, lifetime dog. Lifetime,” Beverley said about Westbrook on The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone. “Like some real sh*t. Like, in the city I don’t know, we don’t like the vibe of a team ‘Russ, f*ck, I’m out bro. I ain’t letting you out alone.’
“A lot of dinners of us together. We call the real brother vibe. It was some real sh*t though. I didn’t know he knew the game of basketball the way he knows the game. He knows the game in and out.”
