Kent Bazemore (of all people) is drawing the ire of many Bradley Beal fans over his comments when comparing the Wizards superstar to Stephen Curry.
Curry and Beal are locked in a battle for the leader in points this season, and Bazemore marveled at what Steph has been able to do for the Warriors lately. He made sure to throw an unnecessary shot at Bradley Beal while he was at it, too.
Kent Bazemore, marveling at teammate Stephen Curry:
“49 points in 29 minutes, that’s unreal. We got guys hurting hamstrings to keep up.”
Curry leads NBA in scoring, at 31.9 ppg
Bradley Beal is second, at 31.4, but will miss at least 2 games with, yes, a strained hammy.— Monte Poole (@MontePooleNBCS) May 10, 2021

In response, Bradley Beal’s wife took to social media to lash out at Kent Bazemore.
I’ll just leave this right here…
Sometimes, your best bet,
is to just shut up. 🌽 https://t.co/ST00ga8rUV— Kamiah Adams-Beal (@KamiahAdams) May 10, 2021
Kamiah wasn’t the only one who threw some shade at Bazemore over his stupid dig at Beal. Many fans took to social media to trash the Warriors guard.

Bradley Beal was leading the league in scoring by a long shot the majority of the season. He isn’t trying to “keep up” with Steph. Kent bazemore is talking like a true casual lmao

Bradley Beal has been leading the scoring race for most of the year, so Kent Bazemore’s quote was not only dumb, but also a little inaccurate. Not sure if Beal has really been struggling to ‘keep up’. Curry has just been coming on strong as of late. But Bazemore knows his role as the troll, and plays it well.
As it stand right now, Curry leads Beal bu 0.5 PPG. The scoring race should come right down to the wire.
