Kobe Bryant secretly admired ‘the dog’ in Patrick Beverley, the latter found out when he asked Trevor Ariza.
Whether you like it or not, Patrick Beverley is the kind of player you want on your team. And by some trick of the game of basketball, the team that has the Pat Bevs and PJ Tuckers of the world are the ones that want to win championships.
What someone like Beverley brings to any squad is simply contagious and inspires teammates to be the best version of themselves.
When they see a 6’0 shooting guard give it his all every night and be a problem for almost everyone in the opposition, they are inspired even when the best player on their team is having a poor start.

Even Kobe Bryant saw that dog at the former Rockets shooting guard and “liked him a lot” as a player.
Kobe Bryant liked Patrick Beverley “a lot”
Imagine fighting your way into the league as much as Beverly did, and when you do, you make The Black Mamba appreciate what you bring to the table every night.
Anyone’s life would tremble with happiness, such as they had never felt before. It’s the closest thing to receiving a compliment from Michael Jordan.
Beverley got it, but she had to ask Trevor Ariza because, you know, Kobe and Pat Bev never played together, and obviously the former wouldn’t say a word of thanks to any player, even on his own team, let alone the opposition. .
We’re talking about mentor-turned-teammates, favorite kicks, and more.

Let’s see how the 34-year-old does justice to the Lakers legend’s perspective when he takes the court in Los Angeles. He will have to be that adhesive and team dog the Lakers desperately needed to contend for a championship.
