Bradley Beal is certainly making strides in the league for the last two seasons. Leading the league in scoring in the 2019-20 season, Beal proved his stock yet again as a scorer as he finished as the second best scorer only behind a scorching Steph Curry.

Given how incredible of a season he had in the 2019-20 season, his deal with the Jordan brand in December was the cherry on top. In a recent appearance at the Knuckleheads podcast, Beal explained why he signed with Michael Jordan and the Jordan brand.

“It’s unreal. I’ve been with Nike all my life. Ever since I was in high school. My mom got a Nike tattoo on her leg. So this was the last year of my deal. And Nike was like, ‘Well Jump Man is very interested.’ Right now. ‘Me?'”

Beal added, “Mike ain’t just fond of anybody. So, I’m like okay, ‘well if he’s signing off on it, it’s got to be something special.’ So man from the presentation, to you know, interacting with them and then meeting meeting the guys like is unreal dawg….. I love it man, like they treat you like family. It’s been like this.”

While Beal has been making strides as a generational scorer, his team hasn’t had significant success so far. With the 28-year-old arguably in his prime of his career, the Wizards need to add an able supporting cast.

If they fail to do so, we might be seeing the 3-time All-Star look for a different challenge all together and leave Russell Westbrook and Washington. Do you think Beal will stick around next season? Let us know in the comments section down below.
