Bradley Beal calls out Kent Bazemore on Twitter after scoring title remark

Kent Bazemore called out Bradley Beal who replied with some tweets against the Warriors swingman.

Per ESPN, During Monday’s shootaround, Bazemore, a close friend of Curry’s, praised his teammate’s ability to remain humble no matter how many accolades come his way.

“Forty-nine points in 29 minutes, though, that’s unreal,” Bazemore said, referring to Curry’s output in a win over the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. “Then we got guys hurting hamstrings, trying to keep up. So, ya’ll gotta do some research on that.”

Beal, who missed Monday’s game and will also be out Wednesday because of the hamstring injury, took exception to Bazemore’s apparent dig and voiced his frustration in a series of tweets.

Bazemore downplayed the situation with Beal when asked about it following Monday’s victory.

“I guess you can’t joke anymore,” Bazemore said, adding, “I don’t say things to ruffle feathers, but … if you want to know what my loyalty is, it’s to [Curry]. Anyone out there chasing him, it’s gonna be tough.”

Asked if he would reach out to Beal to describe what he meant by the remark, Bazemore replied, “There’s nothing really to explain; I was laughing, jokingly, half-heartedly said it.” He went on to say that there was “nothing malicious about that comment.”
