VIDEO: Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley Took Turns Insulting Each Other From Across the Court
By Jerry Trotta
If you watch the NBA, you know that Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley have a long-standing beef. After all, Brodie religiously blames the Los Angeles Clippers guard for when he tore his meniscus in the 2013 playoffs. Since then, the two players haven't been afraid to share their disdain for one another and that continued on Friday night in the waning moments of the Clippers' win over the Houston Rockets. After Westbrook missed a potential go-ahead three, Beverley taunted him from LA's bench, and Russ responded the only way we'd expect him to: by calling him trash.
Was anybody else utterly terrified watching Westbrook stare into Beverley's soul in the closing seconds of that clip?
For those who missed Brodie's brick that led to the distant verbal exchange, we've got you covered:
Mark those calendars for the next time the Rockets and Clips are set to meet, folks, because Westbrook and Beverley alone should deliver fireworks.
