Bradley seems like a really chill guy. Someone you can just approach and have a decent conversation. It's nice to have a character like him here in Phoenix.

And how does that help your life?

@@signorpops8520 and how does it help your life being that bitter?

[@HighlightRiel]

@@signorpops8520 It helps my life knowing my team as a class act. And with a class act, we can become a better team. I watch games to relieve stress. Winning helps it even more. Better chemistry = more wins. So there's that.

@@DaveBtm998 i am far from being bitter. Its just the hypocrisy people use to criticize and destroy people people publicly.

His defense is doing so much for the teams energy

Really love Beal's energy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I hope he enjoys the experience of the playoffs

[@lifttreesup]

I’m glad he said Minnesota isn’t going to be easy, do not let your foot off the pedal on no one, just like in football, any given Sunday. let’s go suns!!!!🔥 keep the energy rolling

Love you Beal you the man

Beal will own Ant in this series

[@AZlivingFF]

And Book! 🔥

You think Beal is better than ant?!! Get outta here.

@@antmj2335 yes I do. Beal averaged 30 ppg before. when has Ant?

[@antmj2335]

@@xkid.darkskin5178 when someone says they think someone will own someone in a series, that usually infers that said person thinks a player is better. I think you need to go through grade school again. He just said he thinks Beal is better because he averaged 30 one year too, so boom!!! I was right.
