Bradley Beal has had a very chaotic few years in the NBA. His time with the Washington Wizards did not end well at all. His time with the Phoenix Suns was a complete disaster as well. Looking back, that trade did more harm than good for the Suns. In the offseason, he signed a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, and while practicing for the season, he made a stunning revelation.
What Did Bradley Beal Say?
Bradley Beal was getting interviewed by a sports reporter named Tamar Sher, who asked the question of where he was in his NBA Journey. Well, Beal answered, and he responded with “I need a ring. I want one bad,… this is a hungry environment to go win”. Basically, he admitted that he is currently trying to ring chase, and the best place to do it is with all teams, the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Funniest Part of That Reveal
The most hilarious part is that the Los Angeles Clippers are not even close to being contenders. They have a Big 4 type team with Bradley Beal, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Chris Paul. There are just two notable problems here: age and durability. Harden is 35, Beal is 32, Leonard is 34, and Chris Paul is 40 years old. Leonard can barely stay healthy, and Chris Paul is entering his last year. Along with having a lack of depth pieces, it’s hard to see the Clippers as contenders.
Is It An Statement To Drive Clicks Or To Motivate Himself?
When thinking about this further, it sparked a debate. Did he make that statement to drive clicks on social media or to motivate himself and the team? Especially in Chris Paul, who is entering his last year, and Bradley Beal respects. After all, any NBA player wants a ring, as that’s how legacies are measured. It’s not by stats, but by how many championships a player wins. This question will never fully be answered, but there are two sides to making this statement.
Final Thoughts
It’s crazy that Beal would make this admission in an interview. However, he could prove everyone wrong, and the only way that can happen is if he can show it on the court. With what that fanbase has gone through, they deserve a championship, too. Total Apex Sports will keep you up to date regarding WNBA news, players, and other events.
