Russell Westbrook makes cheeky demand to LA Lakers if they win NBA title

Chicago Bulls guard Patrick Beverley wants a championship ring if the Los Angeles Lakers win the NBA Finals this season - and so does former teammate Russell Westbrook, Beverley claims.

The two guards started the season on the Lakers before the team decided to trade both on trade deadline day during the regular season. Beverley played 45 games, while Westbrook played a further seven before both left the franchise on February 9.

Westbrook was the first to exit, ending up on the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team, eight-player deal. The trade saw the Lakers receive Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt from the Jazz, plus former Laker D’Angelo Russell, whom they drafted back in 2015, from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
