NBA All-Star Weekend started yesterday with the Celebrity Game and the Rising Stars Challenge. But those events didn’t have local representation, so let’s check out what the Wizards’ All-Star backcourt of Bradley Beal and John Wall have been up to in Los Angeles.

Swiss watchmaker Tissot is the NBA’s official watch. And Beal’s now doing promos with them. Nice!

Beal was the runner up in 2014, when both he and wall put on quite a show on All-Star Saturday that year. With Wall injured and unable to play on Sunday, this is Beal’s time to get in the spotlight.
Go get ‘em!
