"He's Trash!!!": Patrick Beverley makes a mockery of Russell Westbrook after back-to-back embarrassing plays

Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley appears to call Russell Westbrook trash following a play involving him intercepting the former MVP’s pass.

The disrespect and mockery continue for Russell Westbrook this time via T-Wolves guard Patrick Beverley. The Lakers suffered yet another embarrassing loss at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. And like always, Westbrook had his faux pas moments during the game.

It won’t be wrong to say that the Lakers are done for the season considering their body language on the court, especially Westbrook, who looks detached. It’s unfortunate to see a superstar of Russ’ caliber give up on his team. Westbrook was known for his competitive zeal and ability to play hard on every possession.

It is evident from the above play that Westbrook has lost the drive to play. Marking Beverley, Westbrook seems completely disinterested. The Lakers PG takes a stroll, while Pat cuts through him, collecting the offensive rebound and making the bucket. On the other hand, Westbrook watches as a spectator.

The Westbrook mockery doesn’t end here, with Beverley intercepting the former’s pass to LeBron James. The Wolves guard appears to call Westbrook trash after the sequence.

Patrick Beverley calls Russell Westbrook trash after the latter commits a turnover.

Westbrook’s struggles continued on Thursday night against the Wolves as well, the two-time scoring champion had 15-points and was a disappointing 25.0% from beyond the arc. With the Wolves having an impressive run, it was only a matter of time before Beverley began talking smack.

When it comes to trash-talking in the league today, Pat Beverley sits right at the top. The Wolves guard, who shares a history with Westbrook, would not let this opportunity of making back-to-back plays on Brodie fly under the radar.

The two have had a couple of exchanges before as well. Earlier this season, Westbrook had called out Beverley for tricking people into believing he played defense. However, the Wolves guard would have the last laugh considering the season Brodie is having.
