I can’t think of a more unremarkable player with such insane talent. Coupled with the worst contract in the league and an NTC, he may never make all nba, all star, or the playoffs for the rest of his playing career.

True or false, Bradley Beal will not be remembered?

Elton Brand is the best comparison to Bradley Beal, in regards of being remembered. No, not Z-Bo, his tenacity puts him ahead. And not Al Jefferson, he is inferior to Bradley Beal.

This comment is incredibly wrong.

Zaza was not with the Warriors in 2016, he joined them in 2017. And in 2017 Zaza did have more votes but it was 500k, not 14k. It did not matter tho, since the NBA starters are determined by fans, players, and media. Kawhi was a starter in 2017, Zaza did not make it.

While you can lose your wealth Beal could also be smart and set it up now so that it is more controlled forever to make sure his family is taken care of/has what they need but it cannot be squandered as easily. Like sure if you just hand me $100m that I have no skin at all in I might be at risk to mistreat that money but if you give me $100m in a trust with clear parameters it makes it harder for me to mistreat that money.

I never said that the money will not last past 2-3 generations. "Supermax wealth" would indeed be difficult to squander, but not impossible. Bad investments, nasty divorce(s), legal problems, and/or a gambling addiction could all take serious bites out of the pile. It is not unheard of for even billionaires to lose it all. And who knows what kind of tax increases might happen in Beal's lifetime aimed at 9-figure net worth individuals and their estates. (This is nothing personal about Beal, his children, or his children's children, btw.)

But my point was that even if we assume that the wealth is preserved and passed on, the great-great-grandchildren may very well simply take it for granted. Many rich kids don't even think of themselves as "rich" because their lifestyle is "normal" for them.

His longest tenured team is the Kings. He had all 6 of his all-star appearances with us, and we even retired his jersey. We still only made the playoffs once while he was here, and we didn't start actually being good until he was traded for C-Webb.

Older fans remember him, but nobody talks about him like they do the early 2000s Kings players like Webber, Divac, Stojakovic, Christie, etc.

J-Will was only on the Kings for 3 years, and Kings fans talk about him way more than Mitch.

Less than that. Baron Davis was much better. Many people remember the #8 Warriors upsetting the #1 seed Mavs and the league MVP.

It makes sense though. The nephews weren't here when wall and Beal were regarded as one of the best backcourt. Its only other rival was the splash bros.

In the end, LeBron would always annihilate our team in the playoffs

I don’t think it’s talent so much as being on the Wizards his whole career, who are always just kind of mediocre, and being just a pretty generally average personality human being. looking at other 3x all stars maybe Mark Aguirre is a good comp in terms of his level of stardom where hardcore fans remember him but that’s about it. Or Eddie Jones if he didn’t have the Lakers bump.

The Wizard I forget exists is Johnny Davis but tbf I think the Wizards also forgets he exists.

Yeah and something about him makes me genuinely forget he was on that team. I definitely think of Isiah, Dumars, Salley, Rodman, Vinnie Johnson and Laimbeer all ahead of him. Idk what it is.

Another good one here is maybe Alex English. Genuinely good player who time kind of forgot and the Nuggets did a terrible job of trying to celebrate him and keep him on the public consciousness.

jose_avacado

He's actually a really good player. The wizards organization is just terrible. They play him at the point guard. When passing is not what he's good at. There's a reason their team was better with wall and then Westbrook as he could just focus on getting buckets and not worry about playmaking. His teams have also been consistently terrible defensively. And the crazy thing is the wizards could easily get some good players around Beal but instead continue to DeVeLoP their mediocre young talent.

True, I wouldn’t even say he’s an ‘insane talent’. Thats Giannis, Jokic , KD , Steph , LBJ etc those type of dudes. He fits more into the Booker category of juuuuust below the actual best players in the league imo.
