While this may be a cause of concern for many, the 9x All-Star suggested that the two have moved on and share a good relationship now. Their rivalry started years ago when Beverley committed a hard foul on Westbrook during a game. The foul led to a serious injury for Westbrook, with the former MVP forced to sit out for an extended period of time. Both players are known for their aggression and intensity on the floor. At the Lakers' training camp, Westbrook explained his relationship with Beverley: "I'm an easygoing guy. I don't hold grudges against anybody. Life is too short, man. We've been blessed with too many opportunities and platforms to be walking around and holding grudges and different things of that nature. "The mutual respect has always been there. Yes, we've got into it. We've got into it with a lot of other people too. But the outside world has made it a lot bigger than it actually is. And I just continue doing the right thing and eventually all good things in store will come out." Spectrum SportsNet@SpectrumSN"I don't hold grudges against anybody. Life is too short...
