Washington Wizards’ guard Bradley Beal label All-Star snub as “disrespectful”

With 30 teams in the NBA across both the conferences and more than 600 players plying their trades, there are only so many spots available on the NBA All-Star roster. But does Washington Wizards’ guard Bradley Beal, at 28.7 points per game, as well as 6.4 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game, deserves a spot on the All-Star roster, is a matter of discussion for NBA pundits and fans, but it’s clear that not all players can make the cut. This is the case every year, and it always goes like that.bradley-beal

Following Washington Wizards’ 121-107 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Bradley Beal was asked about the All-Star snub, and he made his feelings crystal and clear, as he was as direct and blunt as he could have been on this matter.

“I’m a little pissed off about it, but I know how I am, I was kind of expecting it, honestly,” Beal said after the Hornets game. “It’s disrespectful, but the real ones know so I’m just gonna keep competing and try to get my team to the playoffs for sure.”

Beal lost to Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Jayson Tatum, Damontas Sabonis, Kyle Lowry, Ben Simmons, Kris Middleton.

What went against Beal’s candidacy is that Wizards are stuttering this season at 16-31, and all players selected for the NBA All-Star reserves, have at least a 31-18 record.
