Washington Wizards guard and All-Star Bradley Beal thinks this season’s All-Star Game will actually have defense incorporated in it. But the reason he thinks so may not be what most think it is.

Ever since 2015 it was pretty obvious that times had changed and the NBA entered a new era. An era in which the backcourt – especially the point guard, would be the cornerstone of a team’s offense and overall image.

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal has never been an All-Star.

The Washington Wizards have managed to stay in the thick of the Eastern Conference despite the absence of superstar point guard John Wall thanks in large part to the recent scoring surge from shooting guard Bradley Beal.
