@j.dessy: “gave wiz fans & the dmv hope for years, front office failed him smh”
@artislife1992: “John Wall came back from serious injuries and still averaged 21 and 7 in H Town. The Clippers lied to him and he never got to start with a healthy KL and PG. He averaged 11 and 6 (most on the team at the time) only playing 20 mins a game. King of DC 5ever! 🐐🙏🏾”
@dcsveryown: “Anybody who truly knew John Wall’s game knows he would’ve rather dish the ball and set his teammates up before scoring. Travesty that he never got elite talent to play alongside him.”
@andre_crouchjr: “Smh my fav PG all time! Smh John wall prime year 2016 smh ! He was unstoppable on 2k !”
Wall was the first pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
He made five All-Star Games over his 11 seasons in the league.
In addition to the Wizards, Wall also spent time with the LA Clippers and Houston Rockets.
