Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley starred in one of the most comical rivalries in recent NBA history.
Beverley has always talked a big game, even though his stats and actual play don’t seem to back that up.
Westbrook, on the other hand, once had one of the most iconic phrases in his career by letting everybody know that Pat Bev had ‘fooled them all,’ adding that he ‘just ran around’ and didn’t actually play defense.
Notably, the two put their beef on pause for months when they teamed up to play for Darvin Ham and the Los Angeles Lakers.
They were even spotted hanging out and having some fun on and off the court, with Beverley stating that it was all in the past.
Fast forward to today, and that may no longer be the case, as Westbrook stirred the pot once again during the Los Angeles Clippers win over the Chicago Bulls.
Westbrook took Beverley to school — as per usual — and scored over him, then doing his signature ‘rock the baby’ celebration.

Patrick Beverley is a pesky backcourt defender, but he’s never been anywhere remotely close to Russell Westbrook’s level.
He’s always tried to stay relevant by talking down on players who are obviously much better than him, such as Chris Paul or even Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
So, it’s nice to see that Russ is once again reminding him who’s who.
