Russell Westbrook And Patrick Beverley Reveal Amazing Trash-Talk Details
Telling you that Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverely do not like each other isn’t news. Their fights, and trash-talking goes back for years. We did get a new episode of the drama in the final game 5 of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets series.
While we weren’t able to figure out what they were saying during the game, the two made things easier for us, by revealing their trash-talk exchange during both of their postgame press conference.
Beverley said:
“That was actually the first time we’ve exchanged words this postseason, but he’s a really good player… Russ looked up and said, ‘No one can guard me, I got 40 points.’ I’m like, that’s nice, you took 34 shots to get it. I’m not out here trying to bash anybody. Men lie, women lie, but the numbers don’t. Collectively, as a unit, we did a good job on him.”

Then, Russell Westbrook revealed his side of the story saying:
“He was talking about how he was first team all-defense. But I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about because I had 42 at the time. I don’t know what he was talking about, maybe he was dreaming or some sh–, I don’t know. Sorry, excuse my cuss word. But I don’t know what he was talking about. I guess he want to be first team all-defense or something. Maybe he was dreaming about it. I don’t know.”
