Shot career highs from the field (.485) and the free throw line (.889).Six-of-eight 40-plus point games have come on the road, the most in the league and tying a franchise single-season record. Eight games with at least 40 points, the second most in the league.Third in the NBA with a career-high 34 games of at least 30 points, the fourth most in team history.Became just the sixth player since the NBA-ABA merger to average 30+ points in back-to-back seasons (Adrian Dantley, Michael Jordan-seven straight, Allen Iverson-twice, Kobe Bryant, James Harden-three straight).Finished second in the NBA in scoring with the sixth-highest points per game average in the last 10 years. Alongside fellow All-NBA candidate Russell Westbrook, Beal has been one of the best players in the NBA this season, well-deserving of an All-NBA nod. In a January matchup with Philadelphia, Beal scored 57 points in the first three quarters alone and finished with a franchise-record-tying 60 points. Beal has been remarkably reliable, scoring fewer than 20 points in a game only five times and is one of just three players this season to score 50-plus points more than once this season. Beal’s night-to-night consistency has been as impressive as his scoring volume, despite facing double and triple teams nearly every time he takes the court. For the second year in a row, Beal has led the Eastern Conference in scoring at over 30.0 points per game. In recent years, he has quickly become one of the league’s elite scorers, capable of putting the ball in the basket at the rim, from mid-range and from beyond the arc – even as the focus of every opponent’s scouting report. Bradley Beal’s 2020-21 performance cemented the ninth-year guard as one of the best players in the NBA.
