Bradley Beal was selected third overall in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. The 6’ 5” Florida Gator did not disappoint as a rookie averaging nearly 14 points per game. The shooting guard has steadily improved his scoring and defense each year, teaming with John Wall to form one of the top backcourts in the league. This season he got his second straight All-Star nod for the Eastern Conference and is poised to set career highs in points (26.0), rebounds (5.1), assists (5.5) and steals (1.5) for the Wiz. This lot features Beal's game-worn Wizards road jersey that has been professionally photo-matched to a Dec. 26, 2018 matchup in Detroit. The Pistons prevailed but Beal and Wall each tallied 21 points for the Nation's Capital.
The red recycled polyester shirt is patterned with two large horizontal stripes in navy blue on top and white on the bottom. Proper Nike manufacturer's tagging appears on the front left tail indicating size 48 with a Length +4" flag tag and the uniquely coded NBA Authentics tag. Inside the left inseam is the washing instructions and "SP181204" manufacturer's date tag. The front of the jersey reads "Washington" in white tackle twill letters, with a white Nike Swoosh and GIECO sponsorship patch above. Beal’s uniform number "3" appears front and back in navy tackle twill outlined in white. The upper back has "BEAL" arched in white tackle twill, with the official NBA embroidered patch and a gold "1" NBA trophy patch (Bullets won the franchise's lone title in '78) above. The shirt displays appropriate wear and was obtained through a reliable source (must remain anonymous) with ties to the team. Apart from NBA Auctions, few Beal gamers have been offered publicly.
