James Worthy Reveals The Truth About Patrick Beverley: “There Were Players That You Hated To Play Against, But Would Love To Have Them On Your Team.”

The Los Angeles Lakers went 33-49 during the 2021-22 season, missing the play-in tournament. It is clear that this was a disappointing outcome for a team that was slated as a championship contender at the beginning of the year.

It is clear that the Los Angeles Lakers are trying to improve the roster after such a disastrous season. They have recently acquired Patrick Beverley by sending Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Utah Jazz. That is a move that will help them improve on the defensive end and give the team a player that is capable of playing a complementary role offensively.

Patrick Beverley has made a name for himself with his defense during his career but is also renowned for his antics on the court and his trash talk towards opponents. James Worthy has recently dropped the truth on Patrick Beverley, claiming that he is the sort of player one hates playing against but one that anyone would love to have on their team.

During my career, there were players that you hated to play against, but would love to have them on your team . @patbev21 is one of those players. Welcome to the #Lakeshow #leadership #Physical #WINNER

During my career, there were players that you hated to play against, but would love to have them on your team. Patrick Beverley is one of those players. Welcome to the #Lakeshow #leadership #Physical #WINNER

There is no doubt that many people that are associated with the Lakers are excited about this move. Fans, analysts, and former players have all lauded the Lakers for trading to get Patrick Beverley. Notably, legend Magic Johnson expressed similar sentiments to James Worthy, claiming that he hated watching Beverley play against the Lakers, but loves him now that he’s on the team.

Hopefully, we see Patrick Beverley provide the desired impact for the Los Angeles Lakers on both ends of the floor. His mentality will definitely help the team improve as a whole, and we’ll see just how well the Lakers do with his addition next season.
