Bradley Beal not being named to the NBA All-Star Game is disrespectful, and that’s just how the Washington Wizards guard felt about the snub.
After scoring 34 points while adding nine assists and nine rebounds in a 121-107 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Beal responded to being left out of this year’s All-Star Game.
“I’m a little pissed off about,” Beal told NBC Sports Washington’s Chris Miller. He added “It’s disrespectful. But the real one’s know.”
Beal may have referencing to his supporters and also his peers. Despite not being a favorite in the fan and media voting, Beal finished second among Eastern Conference guards in the players’ vote.
Beal appeared emotional talking about being left off with Miller. He later left Capital One Arena without talking to the media.
Unless he is named as an injury replacement, Beal will become the first player to not make an All-Star team while averaging 28 points per game or more in 41 years, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
