Wizards

The NBA 2K20 trailer is out, and Wizards star Bradley Beal makes a hilarious, albeit short, appearance.

https://twitter.com/NBA2K/status/1156930434510405632

Did you catch it?

Right around 52 seconds, Beal makes his cameo as he stares into the camera with his hands on his hips and a smirk on his face.

That is a direct reference to this viral moment from last season during which a fan expressed his displeasure with Beal's basketball skills.

Beal's reaction, which included the sassiest face possible, became a viral meme in the aftermath.

Even the Wizards took notice.

The NBA 2K series is one of the most popular sports games on the market, and including moments like this in its trailer only makes it more marketable to fans.
