Bradley Beal dit au revoir à Washington et s’adresse à sa nouvelle équipe de Phoenix

NBA – Traded to Phoenix after eleven years in Washington, the guard addressed the Wizards community one last time through a letter published in The Player’s Tribune. Bradley Beal officially turned the page on his eleven years in Washington this weekend by wearing his new Phoenix Suns jersey for the first time, where he was traded ten days ago. This Monday, the All-Star guard addressed the Wizards fans one last time by publishing a letter in The Player’s Tribune titled “Dear DC”. Drafted in 2012, Bradley Beal has only known the Wizards in the NBA, and he actively contributed to revitalizing the capital’s franchise in his early years before taking on the role of captain after John Wall’s departure. Among the memories, he will especially remember the night of the Draft that changed his life and that of his family. The Wizards? “A part of oneself” “It wasn’t easy to write this. I had an extraordinary eleven years and it’s unreal to think that my time here has come to an end. Spending over a decade in one place, it becomes more than just the team you play for. It becomes a part of oneself,” he wrote. “I will never forget the day the Wizards drafted me, because it was my 19th birthday. June 28, 2012! I remember growing up, my brothers and I wondered who would be the first to buy our mother her dream house. And when my name was called in the third position, we all embraced each other because we knew what it meant. My family sacrificed a lot of their dreams to help me pursue mine… and if I’m talking about my journey in Washington, it’s because that’s where it all begins. The Wizards made these dreams come true. DC trusted me by choosing me in the 3rd position. It’s the kind of faith that you can only try to repay, and all I can say is that I did my best. Whether as a person in the community or as a player on the court. I think when John Wall and I arrived here, there wasn’t necessarily all this excitement for basketball in Washington. One of the things I am most proud of is that we managed to play at a level that helped change things. Between our success and that of the Mystics, I feel like we brought a whole new energy to the city.” A message for the Suns Bradley Beal also took the time to thank all the people who accompanied him during his eleven years, through a very long list, taking the time to name as many people as possible so as not to forget anyone. He finally thanked the fans for their support throughout these years. “It’s crazy how, on the night of the Draft, I was hugging my parents and brothers, as a 19-year-old kid about to move to DC… and now, I’m leaving with my own family at almost 30 years old. I really appreciate the life we have been able to build here, and the way everyone has treated us as we leave. I have been very proud to be a franchise player and to have formed this relationship with the community. But I also know that it’s a business. And from that perspective, it was the right time for both parties,” he added. On the eve of a new challenge in a team of a completely different stature alongside Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, he concluded with a message for his new team in Phoenix. “To everyone in Phoenix: I am happy to play for all of you and to be a part of the Suns. There’s one thing I realize about this team, it’s that the time when my sons wore BEAL #3 jerseys is probably over. I’m almost certain they will ask for number 1 or number 35. But I’m ready to accept that. This group has a chance to be unique.” Bradley Beal Percentage Rebounds Season Team GP Min FG% 3PT% FT% OREB DREB REB AST TOV STL BLK PTS 2012-13 WAS 56 31 41.0 38.6 78.6 0.8 3.0 3.8 2.5 2.0 0.9 1.6 0.5 13.9 2013-14 WAS 73 35 41.9 40.2 78.8 0.7 3.0 3.7 3.3 2.1 1.0 1.8 0.3 17.1 2014-15 WAS 63 34 42.7 40.9 78.3 0.9 2.9 3.8 3.1 2.2 1.2 2.0 0.3 15.3 2015-16 WAS 55 31 44.9 38.7 76.7 0.8 2.7 3.4 3.0 2.1 1.0 2.0 0.2 17.4 2016-17 WAS 77 35 48.2 40.4 82.5 0.7 2.4 3.1 3.5 2.2 1.1 2.0 0.3 23.1 2017-18 WAS 82 36 46.0 37.5 79.1 0.7 3.7 4.4 4.6 2.0 1.2 2.6 0.4 22.7 2018-19 WAS 82 37 47.5 35.1 80.8 1.1 3.9 5.0 5.5 2.8 1.5 2.7 0.7 25.6 2019-20 WAS 57 36 45.5 35.3 84.2 0.9 3.3 4.3 6.1 2.2 1.3 3.4 0.4 30.5 2020-21 WAS 60 36 48.5 34.9 88.9 1.2 3.5 4.7 4.4 2.3 1.2 3.1 0.4 31.3 2021-22 WAS 40 36 45.1 30.0 83.3 1.0 3.8 4.7 6.6 2.4 0.9 3.4 0.4 23.2 2022-23 WAS 50 34 50.6 36.5 84.2 0.8 3.1 3.9 5.4 2.1 0.9 2.9 0.7 23.2 Total 695 35 46.0 37.2 82.3 0.9 3.2 4.1 4.3 2.2 1.1 2.5 0.4 22.2 How to read stats?
