Friday afternoon was media day for the Washington Wizards. During his interview session, Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal was asked by Bally Sports Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson about the pressure of landing a deal and then referenced Lamar Jackson‘s situation with the Baltimore Ravens.
“Football is different than basketball. I’ll say that because I don’t want to speak on other people’s business or what they got going, but I respect what he’s doing. In football, you rarely see guys play if they don’t have a deal or if they don’t have some security in the backend. I respect many football players who have that mindset because it is a business, and football is grimier than basketball; they will cut you like you don’t mean anything. So, I think I understand that business mindset as a player, but Lamar loves football. You can tell what type of player he is, and you can tell he doesn’t really care about the money he does, maybe, but he’s out there playing,” said Beal.
“So, what are you really judging him on? He’s out there being available for his team, putting it all out there on the line playing a gruesome sport, a physical sport. So, I salute him for everything he is doing, and I hope it’s everything he deserves and wants. And he is continuing to show out, so I guess he is only making his case a little bit better.”

Bradley Beal just signed a max deal with the Washington Wizards
Earlier this summer, Bradley Beal signed a five year max deal with the Washington Wizards, according to NBA.com.
The Washington Wizards guard agreed to a five-year maximum contract worth $251 million just a day following him declining a $36.4 million player option for the upcoming season.
Beal averaged 23.2 points per game, 4.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists in over 40 games before a late-season wrist injury in February sidelined him for the rest of the season.
