If the supposed beef between rising NBA prospect Cooper Flagg and Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal stemming from a rumored one-on-one embarrassment of Beal at star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum’s summer basketball camp sounded a little bit too good to be true, it seems that it very well may have been a made-up tale.
Flagg recently came clean about the rumored exchange between himself and the Suns veteran in a video circulated by Bleacher Report Hoops, saying that “I’m making enemies, first Brad Beal — that was fake though; pointing it out the mic, that was fake, fake business.”
“Me and Brad Beal never played one-on-one, I’ve got no beef with Brad, alright?” he added for good measure, pushing back against the colorful rumor making the rounds of an offseason NBA media sphere thirsty for content.
"If he wants to win MVP and lead them to the Finals, Jayson Tatum needs to be an MF" – @GwashburnGlobe @CelticsLab is joined by Gary Washburn in the latest Celtics Lab🍀👀!
