Former Wizard Star Is Bested By A High School Prospect
Bradley Beal’s time in Washington lasted so long that we really got to see the type of person he truly is. One thing that you can say is that the man has heart. That big heart of his was seen on both good times and bad times as well. Bradley Beal did a lot for the community in Washington D.C. He did so much for the community that you would think he was running for mayor. The love for Bradley Beal was seen both on and off the court.
On the court, that big heart of his showed his competitive nature. The man simply wants to win and be successful in everything he does. Bradley Beal even wants to succeed in games that are meaningless to him, that is until it comes to his ego. We know Bradley Beal and Boston Celtics All Star Jayson Tatum are tight. As a matter of fact, they’re so tight, many believed Beal would end up in Boston to play alongside Tatum.
As Beal got to Phoenix, that relationship hasn’t changed. Beal ended up attending Jayson Tatum’s offseason basketball camp. While there, Beal took the court with a guy whose name the world is promised and destined to hear a lot more of later in life, Cooper Flagg. Cooper Flagg is a sensational prospect who is supposed to be something special in the NBA. He’s expected to enter the 2025 NBA Draft. While still in high school, it has been confirmed that Cooper Flagg gave Bradley Beal fits on the court at Jayson Tatum’s Basketball Camp.
The moment may have been a bit embarrassing or even humiliating for Beal as it was confirmed by Boston Celtics Legend Brian Scalabrine that Beal had some harsh words for Cooper Flagg. The word on the street is that Cooper is a major trash talker. Perhaps that got under Bradley’s skin. No matter the case, Bradley Beal hasn’t been heavily known to be a hardcore defender. Many people are talking about Victor Wembanyama. However, the fact of the matter is this. While Wembanyama has arrived, Cooper Flagg is coming. As we await his arrival, it will be interesting to see him match up against Bradley Beal in the coming years.
