Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal was more than happy to share one of the most important moments of his life to the world when he recently posted a photo of his newborn son on Instagram.

Born July 23, Bradley Emmanuel Beal II, or “Deuce,” is Beal's firstborn son with girlfriend Kamiah Adams. This is definitely uncharted waters for the first-time dad, and the 25-year-old will definitely have a brand new perspective in life both on, and especially off the court. Having a child is absolutely one of the greatest blessings from above, and based on Beal's caption, he is eternally grateful.

This should give Beal more than enough motivation to take his game, and perhaps the Washington Wizards as well, to the next level.

Since being drafted third overall by the Wizards in 2012, Beal has continually elevated his game year after year. Last season, all his hard work was finally rewarded as he was selected to the All-Star Team for the very first time in his six-year career.

However, the former Univeristy of Florida standout surely has his sights set on the bigger picture. Despite being perennial contenders in the East, the Wizards have failed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals throughout the Beal and John Wall era.

With LeBron James taking his talents to the West, this year would be a great opportunity for the Wizards to surpass their previous accomplishments. However, to achieve this goal, they will need to go through the likes of the Boston Celtics, Toronto Raptors, Philadeplhia 76ers, and the Milwaukee Bucks. That still won't be a walk in the park for Beal and co.
