If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will. Especially in sports. You need to be confident or you’ll never be successful. John Wall gets that and it was evident when he was asked bout the Wizards backcourt during his exit interview.
Wall was asked if there is a better backcourt in the league and he said what he was supposed to say. But his explanation is what’s interesting, where he took a playful shot at himself for not being a strong shooter.
Wall, prompted by a question if there was a better backcourt than the one he occupies with Bradley Beal, compared the sides Monday before his exit interview: “No, not in my opinion. I don’t think we shoot the ball as good as the guys from Golden State but that’s all they do better than us to be honest. We play better D, attack the paint. I think we do everything better, except for shooting.”
After a short pause, Wall clarified that of the four he’s clearly the weakest when it comes to the jump shot. “I’m the only one not in that shooting category,” Wall said to a bunch of laughs, including his own. “Brad is right there with them. Other than that, I don’t think so.”
