Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley want championship rings with the Lakers
Patrick Beverley told during hislive podcast a very funny encounter with Russell Westbrook while he was working out in a gym. The conversation was about the possible rings they could get if the Lakers won the NBA Finals. “Russell Westrbook walks in and says, ‘Hey Pat, if Lakers win I want my ring’ (laughs).”
Then, Beverley gave a very honest answer.”I ain’t gonna lie, Russ. We’re going to be suited and booted, boy. I’m going to be right there, waiting on that ring.” The Lakers were 25-30 when Russ and Beverleywere traded, but they could technically get the rings as part of the 2022-2023 roster.
Patrick Beverley even joked about the possibility of being invited to the White House with the Los Angeles Lakers as champions. They aren’t gonna miss their chance. “If they win, I’m gonna get that ring.”
