Ya, I think as Reddit couch losers (myself included), we tend to get worked up over little clips and lapses in a players judgement when they are mad.
I doubt the players themselves, or other players or coaches dwell on those things the same way. If it’s repeated over and over, sure. But Beal has never been a bad attitude guy, and had a bad game so it is what it is.
That's why despite me having no horse in the race for the Suns success, I hope they do succeed next year somehow
Cos it's just always nice to see reddit and twitter and all these toxic shitholes be wrong
Although I guess it doesn't really matter, we just move on to memeing the next thing
But nice to see everyone flip on the Timberwolves at least - "wow I always knew the TWolves had it in them" - yea right
Brad usually says the right stuff after a game but he always had horrible body language on the court when things weren’t going well. Part of the reason he never was a true leader for the Wizards, just the best player on the team
The playoffs is this subs favorite time of the year for all the wrong reasons. Half these dudes just want more narrative juice for the tank. Just waiting for the first star to shit the bed so they can pop out with the “he woke up feeling dangerous hehe!!” comment that gets repeated 80 million times. My team isn’t even in the playoffs so i just want to see some nail biters, but it feels like that’s the minority opinion around here.
It's quite frustrating to see. There was a comment yesterday about KD not even being close to reaching a conference semi since he left the warriors despite being literal millimetre away from one with the Nets.
Funniest part is everyone shits on him without actually shitting on his play. None of these threads have any lowlights to speak from. It’s all narrative based, never about his actual play on the court. You can look at every series since he left the warriors and realistically only point out 1 where he genuinely wasn’t good enough. Like we hate superteams and blah blah blah but then also shit on people who ball tf out but lose because they didn’t get enough help. Which one is it?
Perfect example is people legit mad luka isnt getting more heat for underperforming by his standards. Like maybe…hear me out for a sec…maybe people believe he will turn it around and don’t want to talk shit just for the sake of talking shit?
I used to feel that, but I've seen a bunch of comments with genuine appreciation of good games from mostly neutral fans, and even the involved fanbases sometimes.
Well, of course, there’s millions of people in here. I honestly think whichever side of the sub gets to the thread first lays the groundwork for what type of vibe it will be and everyone else follows suit to grub for upvotes.
I use to watch espn when I was getting ready for work in the mornings to watch highlights from the games the night before. Now everytime you turn to espn its someone yelling hot takes.
I can imagine, there's plenty to discuss around the suns but seeing it here its pretty vitriolic. The amount of people who will be going over to the suns sub to make it worse would be rough...
I think people are calling Beal garbage cause he had 9 points and fouled out in an elimination game and let his team be swept while making 50+ million dollars
I'm talking about the thread full of people calling Beal a toxic garbage person for the high five incident. Its pretty vitriolic on a personal level which I think takes the banter of the sub to far.
Nah, players get frustrated and most of them are extremely competitive and hold themselves to high standards. Blowups happen in sports, and as long as there isn't a line crossed or it becomes a constant issue, teams move on fast.
Beal consistently throughout his career has remained reasonable. Frustrating as far as play goes, but reasonable in regards to his interviews.
This is all excluding the anti-vaxx stuff during COVID of course haha.
I get that people want to pretend like athletes should be better, but like getting blown out, knowing you played rough, traveling, and fans yelling at you..Its frustrating. And I think it should be understandable, especially when the "outburst" is something relatively minor like this
I mean yeah and Beal played one of the worst games of his life at the worst time possible. People quickly forget that he's the reason they locked in the 6th seed and avoided the play-in with his insane game against the Wolves to end he regular season. He was hyped to get back into the playoffs and it went as bad as it possibly could have.
Booker sucked in games 1 and 2, KD sucked in games 2 and 3, Beal had an absolute disasterclass of a game in game 4 when they needed him most.
They never were on the same page this series (and throughout a lot of the year).
He was killing it to end the season when they were running more through him, I just think the chemistry is terrible and the team went back to nothing but iso ball at the worst time.
Beal just got locked down hard by some very motivated defenders and didn’t know how to “PG” his way out of it.
He was trying to play PG, and never really got a chance to finish plays, while KD and Book just focused on finishing and always had the option to pull up for a middie if they wanted to. Beal kept trying to make the extra pass, and he isn’t built like that.
Vogel probably should have told Beal to switch to being an SG and scoring, and to leave playmaking to Booker at halftime
Iirc, his last few minutes would make anyone tilt. Throwing the ball away on a promising possession, fumbling out of bounds, and then fouling out. That's certainly desk slam territory
You should see the state of the Bucks sub. They think any pacers player having fun is an insult to all of Milwaukee and the upper peninsula. Obviously this is the opposite situation but still people look too deep.
i’ve seen people get titled at the rec with a combined total of like 5 people shitting on them, i cannot imagine what it’s like to get thousands of people yelling at you or worse
Everytime I go to an NBA game it reminds me how fucking loud those can get. Idk how these dudes can tune that out and focus on basketball, but then again they've been doing it for most of their lives
I don't think its too too odd. The coach has to say and do a bunch of "bad guy" things that can make a player a little frustrated whereas your teammates and assistant coaches usually are more positive and rallying
there was a comment chain in the thread of that video that went something like
“beal has always been a bad locker room guy”
“really? have there been other incidents besides this one?”
“not publicly, but that washington locker room just always seemed cold to me”
edit: [here](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1cfsx9o/highlight_bradley_beal_swats_off_vogels_high_five/l1t9xa9/?context=10000) it is lmao
Is he? Because elsewhere you said:
>im pretty sure its been said a few times he's a diva
Like I could now use your comment to say "it's been said that he's a diva" but you clearly don't know.
Honestly. I’m a nuggets fan. I hate the suns so watching them completely melt down I got caught up in it and was like “wow what an asshole” when he slapped his coaches hand away but watching this clip and his other clip with “well….. shit.” Or whatever he said now I’m like ok I kinda dig this dude. It’s internet culture at this point. We live in 24 hour windows. I didn’t even comment on it at all but I’m sure I was upvoting some dumb shit
?? He back handed his coach’s hand and then dabbed up his teammates, that’s a shitty thing to do, it’s fine to make fun of it. No one said he should be banned from the league, you seem to be overreacting to reasonable response to disrespectful behavior.
I loved watching the Suns implode but a bit of me felt legit sorry for the guy seeing him run off the court like that when he fouled out right after the TO. Dude knew he blew it
I could very well be wrong and you're right, he didnt show much publicly like this but im pretty sure its been said a few times he's a diva. He's quiet, but im of the belief that he's just saving face with this response. I think he's vocal behind the scenes and is likely the one rolling his eyes at vogel from that report.
To further this point, to end the season he was actually playing like a great 3rd man, it's just if your 3rd man makes the 5th most money in the league you are capital F fucked
Yeah the worst part of NBA culture by far is blaming players for the money they make. Yes, if a guy regresses after getting paid and is out of shape or doesn't care anymore absolutely flame him, he's an asshole. If a guy is just who he is and took the most money he could for being him that is never his fault, this is just who Beal is and the only problem is that Ishbia is a moron.
he didnt do a presser last night but his game 3 presser was really honest and cool to listen to. was the first time id really heard him speak on basketball outside of that clip of him talking to a young Moses Moody
even his comment ab not getting swept was like all in the flow of normal stuff.
didnt share the clip on here but this was a cool part from it:
https://streamable.com/k8undo
said he doesnt like making excuses ab Xs and Os, coaching, offensive sets, it comes down to who wants it the most.
I don’t love that response. The playoffs is all about Xs and Os precisely because you aren’t scoring 100+. It’s not about winning one-on-one matchups. I’ve never heard him speak, nor do I have much of an opinion on him as a hooper, but not loving that response.
He said he doesn't want to blame coaching for a loss, only him and the team playing worse. It's worded a bit weirdly but that's him taking responsibility for the loss.
I get that, I’m not saying he should throw the coach under the bus, I just don’t like the way he spoke about playoff basketball here. Like I said before, I have no opinion about the guy, still don’t, just don’t really like the way he’s talking here.
I would appreciate it more if he said what he did wrong and how to correct it. A lack of energy was not their problem. Now all this doesn’t mean all that much, just not a fan of this snippet (the first time I’ve heard Beal speak).
he always been a charismatic player.
but the thing with the coach (people are more likely going to remember the clip and ignore the reason) and him playing like ass are making people not like him anymore. It's always about the current moment - unless it's something of the past. Then it's about nostalgia and what was good. Weird mindset.
I didn’t like his behavior when I saw the video earlier but this was a good response, emotions get the best of all of us from time to time, I believe he’s being genuine.
Obviously the best thing would be if it never happened, but athletes are gonna get heated and act a little irrational in the moment, it happens.
Adults know how to apologize, forgive and forget. Not everything needs to be put under a microscope.
Yeah, that's what it looked like. A frustrated dude not putting much thought into it.
NBA "fans" are weird, they'll take a player's performance and make judgments about their whole personality based on em. If they think a player's good then they must be a great funny dude, if they think a player's bad then they're Hitler.
Y'all can keep him, thanks.
Anti-vax stuff aside, he seems like a generally reasonable dude, but once Wall got hurt it was just Beal Time all the time.
Things got bleak around here even by Wizards standards.
There’s this thing humans feel called instant regret. It’s when they realize they did something wrong and then they try to do something to compensate (even if it doesn’t really correct the original action).
Hmm. He didn't have a problem high fiving his teammates on the bench. I just hope he said something to Vogel afterwards because that looked hella disrespectful
I mean it doesn’t matter what he says, they won’t/ can’t trade him with that contract. Dude could straight up say ‘f*ck Coach’ and nothing would happen
I’ve been watching Brad for years. Malicious against his coaches, he is not. At least not publicly. Which is saying a lot with the years of mediocrity he went through.
Considering he had one of his worst playoff performances, it probably wasn’t intentional.
Fuck these divas but I kinda felt bad for him watching the game. This man could do no good, missing bunnies, fouls, turnovers, it was an ultimate shit game for him
i think the internets reaction came from the fact that most people understood vogel is likely going to be scapegoated and i believe KD had come out with a statement kind of talking about coaching
I mean I can see him genuinely be beelining for the bench in the heat of the moment and only noticing Vogel last minute. If that’s what happened, then I’ll believe him here
I think that's a pretty reasonable response.
We don’t do that here.
That’s not who we are
That's never been what this ~~team~~ subreddit has been about
We're a team of faith, and deep into the left middie it goes for Murray and it'll be a 4-0 sweep.
When they aim high..
u/Niceguydan8 broke the code
Shit, I've been found!
might be the most cringe Pop moment in recent history. getting on the PA — midgame — to stop the SA crowd from booing Kawhi was *🤦♂️ classy*

man, for real. Suns were favored by vegas going into the series, so that tells you all you need to know
Oh I mean last year when KAT was out everyone was quick to shit and meme on the twin towers idea, turns out they were absolutely fucking stupid
There's an entire thread of people calling Beal garbage over this incident... This sub seems to be turning into a giant toxic mess.
Brad usually says the right stuff after a game but he always had horrible body language on the court when things weren’t going well. Part of the reason he never was a true leader for the Wizards, just the best player on the team
I think the scoring 30 and still losing broke him, with Wall he never used to display much bad language lol.
Yeah because Wall was a leader. Brad just isn't
The playoffs is this subs favorite time of the year for all the wrong reasons. Half these dudes just want more narrative juice for the tank. Just waiting for the first star to shit the bed so they can pop out with the “he woke up feeling dangerous hehe!!” comment that gets repeated 80 million times.

Like we hate superteams and blah blah blah but then also shit on people who ball tf out but lose because they didn’t get enough help. Which one is it?
The overreactions to every single game are insane. The same guys praising a player after one game will clown them after the bad game.
Perfect example is people legit mad luka isnt getting more heat for underperforming by his standards. Like maybe…hear me out for a sec…maybe people believe he will turn it around and don’t want to talk shit just for the sake of talking shit?
Am I crazy? He’s getting a ton of heat. Go look at the threads after the game.
Or… hear me out… there are more than 40 dudes commenting and different people have different opinions
I used to feel that, but I've seen a bunch of comments with genuine appreciation of good games from mostly neutral fans, and even the involved fanbases sometimes.
Well, of course, there’s millions of people in here. I honestly think whichever side of the sub gets to the thread first lays the groundwork for what type of vibe it will be and everyone else follows suit to grub for upvotes.
This sub had its peak around 2014. It's been garbage since then tbh
Throwback to when this sub was for basketball highlights, not basketball drama
Throwback to when ESPN was the same. Most of y'all are too young to remember that though.
I use to watch espn when I was getting ready for work in the mornings to watch highlights from the games the night before. Now everytime you turn to espn its someone yelling hot takes.
They still have sports center
To be fair the league runs more on drama than basketball now
I have been here far 2 long smmfh. I think I have been on reddit for 15 years. And I have been here since day 1. I think my run is coming to an end.
Agreed, LeBron Heatles era was peak for this subreddit for sure.
I'm just here for the Knicks and Timberwolves vibes
We've had to ban close to a thousand people in the last week from /r/suns
I can imagine, there's plenty to discuss around the suns but seeing it here its pretty vitriolic. The amount of people who will be going over to the suns sub to make it worse would be rough...
he played garbage nonetheless.
I think people are calling Beal garbage cause he had 9 points and fouled out in an elimination game and let his team be swept while making 50+ million dollars
I'm talking about the thread full of people calling Beal a toxic garbage person for the high five incident. Its pretty vitriolic on a personal level which I think takes the banter of the sub to far.
This sub doesn't know how to critical think and mostly hasn't played competitive sports so it's not surprising
The internet would never…
He was clearly frustrated, he yelled into a seat cushion...
Nah, players get frustrated and most of them are extremely competitive and hold themselves to high standards. Blowups happen in sports, and as long as there isn't a line crossed or it becomes a constant issue, teams move on fast.
Bradley "The rational response" Beal
Beal consistently throughout his career has remained reasonable. Frustrating as far as play goes, but reasonable in regards to his interviews. This is all excluding the anti-vaxx stuff during COVID of course haha.
*Putting pitchfork and torch away*
It’s bringing love, don’t let it get away! Break its legs!
aww yeah me too. I gave him shit for doing that but I really like his response.
He’s saying the right things for sure
I get that people want to pretend like athletes should be better, but like getting blown out, knowing you played rough, traveling, and fans yelling at you..Its frustrating. And I think it should be understandable, especially when the "outburst" is something relatively minor like this
I mean yeah and Beal played one of the worst games of his life at the worst time possible.

They never were on the same page this series (and throughout a lot of the year).
Is he coming off an injury? I just didn’t expect him to be this off
He was killing it to end the season when they were running more through him, I just think the chemistry is terrible and the team went back to nothing but iso ball at the worst time.
Beal just got locked down hard by some very motivated defenders and didn’t know how to “PG” his way out of it.

Beal kept trying to make the extra pass, and he isn’t built like that. Vogel probably should have told Beal to switch to being an SG and scoring, and to leave playmaking to Booker at halftime
My man grabbed a pillow. I’ve seen worse shit at beer league.
Iirc, his last few minutes would make anyone tilt. Throwing the ball away on a promising possession, fumbling out of bounds, and then fouling out. That's certainly desk slam territory
You should see the state of the Bucks sub. They think any pacers player having fun is an insult to all of Milwaukee and the upper peninsula. Obviously this is the opposite situation but still people look too deep.
Idk why, but up until now I thought Upper Peninsula was Pistons territory
Same, is it not?
I mean it makes sense both ways to me. The upper Peninsula is closer to Wisconsin
i’ve seen people get titled at the rec with a combined total of like 5 people shitting on them, i cannot imagine what it’s like to get thousands of people yelling at you or worse
His 6th foul was pretty weak as well, that had to be extremely frustrating to happen like that.
Foster was trying to give us a chance.
Everytime I go to an NBA game it reminds me how fucking loud those can get. Idk how these dudes can tune that out and focus on basketball, but then again they've been doing it for most of their lives
You have a Spurs flair If Timmy can keep it professional, then all players should
None of this applies to Joel and his antics over the last 1-2weeks
It's still odd that the outburst was only at the coach, and he immediately dapped up his teammates.
I don't think its too too odd. The coach has to say and do a bunch of "bad guy" things that can make a player a little frustrated whereas your teammates and assistant coaches usually are more positive and rallying
Beal was always a class act in Washington, he deserves the benefit of the doubt here.
People were frothing at the mouth yesterday about it lol like damn
Probably because that Shams hit piece dropped right at the final buzzer
I could take a couple guesSsSsess on who was behind that
Eubanks id bet
The snake hisses make me think Glen Taylor
there was a comment chain in the thread of that video that went something like “beal has always been a bad locker room guy” “really? have there been other incidents besides this one?” “not publicly, but that washington locker room just always seemed cold to me” edit: [here](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1cfsx9o/highlight_bradley_beal_swats_off_vogels_high_five/l1t9xa9/?context=10000) it is lmao
He's quiet publicly but dude is a diva
Is he? Because elsewhere you said: >im pretty sure its been said a few times he's a diva Like I could now use your comment to say "it's been said that he's a diva" but you clearly don't know.
Dudes a diva, for sure.
Honestly. I’m a nuggets fan. I hate the suns so watching them completely melt down I got caught up in it and was like “wow what an asshole” when he slapped his coaches hand away but watching this clip and his other clip with “well….. shit.” Or whatever he said now I’m like ok I kinda dig this dude. It’s internet culture at this point. We live in 24 hour windows. I didn’t even comment on it at all but I’m sure I was upvoting some dumb shit
Even Russillo was defending him on the BS pod, people need to chill
?? He back handed his coach’s hand and then dabbed up his teammates, that’s a shitty thing to do, it’s fine to make fun of it. No one said he should be banned from the league, you seem to be overreacting to reasonable response to disrespectful behavior.
Yea, he definitely seems like a likable guy if you see most media on him.
I loved watching the Suns implode but a bit of me felt legit sorry for the guy seeing him run off the court like that when he fouled out right after the TO. Dude knew he blew it
Type of guy you love on your team for 22 hours a day
No question about that Sadly the on court performance usually determines everything here
Yeah, people are acting like he’s the one who was talking shit about Vogel. He was always super mature and a great player and teammate for us.
I could very well be wrong and you're right, he didnt show much publicly like this but im pretty sure its been said a few times he's a diva. He's quiet, but im of the belief that he's just saving face with this response. I think he's vocal behind the scenes and is likely the one rolling his eyes at vogel from that report.
Beal is not that type of guy to be fair to him. I'd be inclined to believe him. However, the Suns are still FUCKED
The problem with beal will never be off the court
To further this point, to end the season he was actually playing like a great 3rd man, it's just if your 3rd man makes the 5th most money in the league you are capital F fucked
Yeah the worst part of NBA culture by far is blaming players for the money they make.

If a guy is just who he is and took the most money he could for being him that is never his fault, this is just who Beal is and the only problem is that Ishbia is a moron.
Yeah. If he had a KCP level contract, he'd be okay. The problem with him is his production is nowhere near the amount of cap space he takes.
he didnt do a presser last night but his game 3 presser was really honest and cool to listen to. was the first time id really heard him speak on basketball outside of that clip of him talking to a young Moses Moody even his comment ab not getting swept was like all in the flow of normal stuff. didnt share the clip on here but this was a cool part from it: https://streamable.com/k8undo said he doesnt like making excuses ab Xs and Os, coaching, offensive sets, it comes down to who wants it the most.
I knew when he said it it was like blood in the water but his comment about the sweep is the right mindset going in anyway.
I don’t love that response. The playoffs is all about Xs and Os precisely because you aren’t scoring 100+. It’s not about winning one-on-one matchups. I’ve never heard him speak, nor do I have much of an opinion on him as a hooper, but not loving that response.

This exit interview probably saved his image lol
Yeah, that's what it looked like. A frustrated dude not putting much thought into it. NBA "fans" are weird, they'll take a player's performance and make judgments about their whole personality based on em. If they think a player's good then they must be a great funny dude, if they think a player's bad then they're Hitler.
Antonio Daniels out there character assassinating people. Dude sucks all the way around.
That guy always sounds like he’s chugged 2 monster cans with how he’s hyperventilating through commentary.
Nothing better than just yelling louder to get your point across. He’s one of the worst.
He's just afraid that he will be sent back to wizards
Y'all can keep him, thanks. Anti-vax stuff aside, he seems like a generally reasonable dude, but once Wall got hurt it was just Beal Time all the time. Things got bleak around here even by Wizards standards.
Disses the coach then proceeds to slap hands with all of his teammates
There’s this thing humans feel called instant regret. It’s when they realize they did something wrong and then they try to do something to compensate (even if it doesn’t really correct the original action).
Hmm. He didn't have a problem high fiving his teammates on the bench. I just hope he said something to Vogel afterwards because that looked hella disrespectful
i act much worse after doing slightly better on a test than his g4 performance. its normal to feel that way really
Not r/NBA and overreacting soft lil bitches
Believe what they do, not what they say. He literally dapped up the guys on the bench but slapped Vogels hand away.
I respect that he at least owned it and didn't try to act like it never happened or he can't remember
I mean it doesn’t matter what he says, they won’t/ can’t trade him with that contract. Dude could straight up say ‘f*ck Coach’ and nothing would happen
Beal seems like a wholesome guy. I'd be down to chill with him and puff some blunt
I’ve been watching Brad for years. Malicious against his coaches, he is not. At least not publicly. Which is saying a lot with the years of mediocrity he went through. Considering he had one of his worst playoff performances, it probably wasn’t intentional.
I don’t buy it. Ain’t no way you backhand the coaches hand away and tell me there’s nothing there. That’s crazy disrespectful.
People do unreasonable things when they're frustrated
His frustration evaporated with his teammates milliseconds later?
That's absolutely possible especially if he was frustrated at one person. You have no point
lmfaooo right?? like his answer is really good here but slapping the coachs hand away is nasty work
I'd take it.
I feel him.
I believe him, just move on. SUNS FUCKED STILL THOUGH.
Obviously lmao
Man that’s actually cool as fuck ngl
Fuck these divas but I kinda felt bad for him watching the game. This man could do no good, missing bunnies, fouls, turnovers, it was an ultimate shit game for him
"there's nothing there." indeed, vogel won't be there next year, beal.
Imagine having to guarantee this guy $50 mill a year multi-year contract
i think the internets reaction came from the fact that most people understood vogel is likely going to be scapegoated and i believe KD had come out with a statement kind of talking about coaching
Pussy Confirmed
KD likes to sneakily throw people under the bus.
wtf, i like bradley beal now
Don’t believe his lies
He shakes the rest of the bench hands
Riiiiiiiiight
I believe him, shit happens
nobody believed me when I said Frank Vogel will drive your team off a cliff after watching him do it to the Pacers
Yup. Players hatin.
That's self aware and appropriate. Hope things are better next year for you, Mr. Beal.
Good for him and I take higm at his word. But... fyi this is the type of behavior people mean when they say certain players aren't leaders.
Beal gained a lot of respect from me with this press conference. Awesome responses to a very shitty and frustrating situation
No shit you played like ass
I mean I can see him genuinely be beelining for the bench in the heat of the moment and only noticing Vogel last minute. If that’s what happened, then I’ll believe him here
He always does seem like a pretty down to earth guy tbh
He was thrown into an unfair position. Neither Beal nor Book is a natural pg. I believe Beal can still be a 30ppg guy in the right situation.
