The Washington Wizards might not be located in the City of Brotherly Love, but that doesn’t seem to affect Al Harrington. The journeyman forward recently talked about his team doing more that just getting along on ESPN 980. Harrington was talking specifically about the team’s dynamic young guards John Wall and Bradley Beal.

"“I envision them both being all-stars for a lot of years to come,” Harrington said. “My biggest thing I try to push on them is just trying to get them to become best friends. Because they need each other, you know what I mean? And I think that’s the key, is they need to realize how much they need each other and embrace it. And if they can come together and love each other, I think they could be special for a long time.”"

"“I’m big on everybody being close, because I feel like the more you feel like family, the more you’re willing to go out on a limb for each other,” he went on. “And I think that we do a great job of that.”"
