Bradley Beal’s decision to re-sign with Wizards was impacted by the success of other local teams

The Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018. The Washington Valor won the Arena Bowl in 2018. The Washington Mystics won a WNBA championship in 2019. And the Washington Nationals just advanced to the World Series.

All that winning played a factor in Bradley Beal signing a two-year, $72 million maximum extension with the Washington Wizards on Thursday that kicks in during the 2021-22 season. NBA analysts expected Beal to be traded. Instead, the St. Louis native will play a major role in the Wizards’ rebuild as fellow superstar, John Wall, rehabilitates from a torn Achilles that will keep him out all of next season.

“I love DC,” Beal said in a press conference. “This is where I always wanted to be and this is where I want to be for the rest of my career.”

I hadn’t been to a WNBA game before this year. Then the Mystics made the Finals.

I had never really been a hoops fan before this year. Sure, I knew who LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and Diana Taurasi were, I liked March Madness and made brackets to compete against coworkers, and by nature of attending graduate school had to know enough about basketball to write about it. The first basketball game I attended in person was a Washington Wizards game against the Atlanta Hawks as an assignment for a sportswriting class this year.

After graduating from UMD in May, I got an opportunity to cover basketball in Israel. This was an all-expenses-paid trip funded by a donor who wanted coverage of a tournament, and we had full editorial control. Ball was life for two weeks, we were the only reporters there, and it was the experience of a lifetime.
