Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal was at the Capitals-Sharks game Tuesday night, joining Rod Rosenstein as the most famous dudes at Capital One Arena.
Beal, wearing a jean jacket featuring handwritten messages overtop a Capitals “Old Time Hockey” hoodie, was sitting along the glass with his girlfriend, Kamiah Adams, and Alex Ovechkin’s friend Abe Hamrah of Designo Motoring.
Beal witnessed Alex Ovechkin score a hat trick and one of the worst collapses in recent Capitals history as Washington fell 7-6 in overtime.
This wasn’t the first time that the superstar has shown his support for the Capitals. On November 11, 2017, the Big Panda met up with Evgeny Kuznetsov in the parking deck underneath the Capital One Arena, where he was gifted a signed jersey.
It still remains unclear whether that meeting happened following the Capitals 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, or the night before, when the Wizards took on the Lakers — a game that Kuznetsov attended with friends.
According to Sports Illustrated, Beal and Kuznetsov have become friends since that meeting. “Been to his house a couple of times,” Kuznetsov told Alex Prewitt. “Big fan of hockey.”
As much as Beal might love Capitals hockey, the same could be said of Kuznetsov and his own love of the NBA. The Russian center has attended several Wizards games alongside his fellow countryman Alex Ovechkin, and catches the West Coast NBA feeds on League Pass after Capitals games.
