The 129th nominee into the NBN Hall of Fame may go down as the best player in NBN history. Bradley Beal's the leader in games played, points scored, field goals made, and three pointer's made. Pure dominance, is there any reason to say no? Let's get into this.

Arguments For Induction
- Career leader in points scored
- Career leader in games played
- Career leader in field goals made
- Career leader in 3 pointers made
- 3rd all time in steals
- 2nd all time in free throws made
- 34th all time in rebounds
- 43rd all time in assists
- Pure longevity. At age 41, Beal put up 25.3 points per game on 48.4% shooting, 92.7% from the line, and 43.4% from downtown.
- No glaring flaws. Kept his TOPG under 2 his entire career, always had 6 or more rebounds, passed the ball at an above average level, defended well his entire career.
- Dominant. Beal's one of the most dominant players the NBN has ever seen, period, end of story.
- Great defender, great scorer, passed the ball well. Never really "fell off" over 1,872 games.
- 17-time All-Star
- 11-time All-League
Arguments Against Induction
- No ring.
- No MVP award (which was unlikely in the first place considering he's an SG and the only SG I can remember winning MVP was Toles).
- That's about it.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***
