Bradley Beal’s wife, Kamiah Adams-Beal, shared the story of an unfortunate incident that made their 6-year-old son cry during the Sun’s win against the Wizards over the weekend.
Kamiah Adams-Beal via her Instagram story on Monday detailed the whole situation, where a fan was heckling Beal.
She said it all quickly spiraled out of control Saturday night, so much so, the arena security had to step in.
“During the game, a ‘Suns fan’ spent most of the night heckling my husband,” she wrote. “It got so bad I sent my kids away in the third quarter after multiple people asked if we were OK and asked if I wanted them to say something.
“The breaking point came in the fourth [quarter] when my kids were back and the ‘fan’ yelled, ‘Trade this bum ass b***h Beal for Jimmy Butler!’ My 6-year-old, with tears in his eyes, asked why someone would say that about his dad.”
She added, “Athletes are human. They have families. Be a fan, but keep it respectful. ‘Cause if we keep it real, most talking crazy behind a keyboard or not in someone’s face would be the first to ask for a picture outside.”
Beal himself was also asked about the incident by reporters.
“All I see is my wife and my son crying on the front row and my wife turning around yelling at somebody. That’s never good,” Beal said. “Family comes before any of this basketball s***. I just wanted to make sure she was good. Once the security was taking care of it, we’re good.”
He added, “My wife was pretty calm about it, but then my son’s right there. She’s not going for none of that.”
Beal has been involved in the Jimmy Butler to the Suns trade rumors, as he seems like the only viable piece that can moved for Butler, though Beal holds most of the power in the deal since he has a no-trade clause in his contract.
