The NBA announced the 2019/20 All-NBA teams and fans were quick to point that Bradley Beal was snubbed of any of the three teams. The shooting guard was the biggest reason why the Washington Wizards had a chance to compete in the 2019/20 season, even getting an invitation to the bubble last July. Beal was marvelous for the capital team, averaging 30.5 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 45% from the field.
Despite being the heart and soul of the Wizards, Beal was snubbed from an All-Star call this season and now he wasn’t included in any of the three All-NBA teams of the season. He reacted to the news with a series of tweets showing his disagreement with these decisions but also showing his class by recognizing Jayson Tatum, who was included in the All-NBA third team this year.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Beal’s 30.5 ppg became the third-most by a player in NBA history to miss an All-NBA selection.

In the end, Kamiah surprised the player with a plaque to show her support and how big he is a player and a human being. She gifted her husband an All-World plaque to celebrate Beal’s huge season.

“Facts don’t lie. Bradley Beal 2019-20. One of the greatest individual seasons in NBA history,” the plaque reads.
It continues: “You’re All-World in our book!”
This will serve as motivation for Beal. Next year he’ll have John Wall back and together, they’ll try to take the Washington Wizards to the postseason and try to make a run for the title. Seeing how the league treated Beal this year, this was expected. Still, it doesn’t mean it’s not unfortunate.
