John Wall

Though John Wall has yet to sign the designated player extension the Washington Wizards have placed in front of him, team owner Ted Leonsis isn’t worried. He believes the All-Star point guard will put pen to paper soon enough, per the Washington Post‘s Candace Buckner: [tweet https://twitter.com/CandaceDBuckner/status/887702013093531648] [tweet https://twitter.com/CandaceDBuckner/status/887732801923149824] It also helps, of course, that we’re [...]

John Wall is not walking back his recruitment of Paul George. He wants to make it clear, however, that he loves Otto Porter. As the All-Star point guard told CSN Mid-Atlantic’s J. Michael: “There’s nothing wrong about it. I know what Otto means for our team, what he does,” Wall said while watching the Wizards [...]

John Wall doesn’t need basketball. Sure, it’s made him more than $70 million to date, on the court. But he’s a multisport athlete—the extra sport being bowling. Speaking with CSN’s Chris Miller (via CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Tyler Byrum), Wall said that his primary hobby is bowling, and that he believes he could go pro if he put [...]

John Wall knows the Washington Wizards need to work on deepening their bench, which is to say, he has eyes. As he told CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Chris Miller (via CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Chase Hughes): Each time John Wall and the Wizards have made the playoffs, they have advanced past the first round and fallen in the Eastern Conference [...]

The Washington Wizards knotted up their best-of-seven set against the Boston Celtics at two games apiece with Sunday’s 121-102 victory. And while a series deadlock isn’t typically time for bravado, John Wall was feeling himself, and his team, afterward. As the All-Star point guard said, per SI.com’s Ben Golliver: [tweet https://twitter.com/BenGolliver/status/861395735350091776] There’s nothing actually wrong with [...]

The Atlanta Hawks are knee-deep in their first-round series with the Washington Wizards, and it’s turned more chippy than not. But that hasn’t stopped Dennis Schroder from proclaiming his admiration for John Wall, his counterpart. He’s down with complimenting Kyrie Irving as well–so much so he’s already inquired about working out with them this summer. [...]

Before the Los Angeles Clippers took down the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night, Doc Rivers had some high praise for John Wall. He’s playing like an MVP candidate. Sort of. Per Candace Buckner of the Washington Post: [tweet https://twitter.com/CandaceDBuckner/status/847251451508269056] Rivers is correct. On both fronts. John Wall has been absolutely sensational this year. He’s posting career-high [...]

Acquiring DeMarcus Cousins hasn’t exactly guaranteed the Pelicans a playoff spot in the West. There are still some teams ahead of them for 8th in the West. That’s a lot to ask for with less than a month remaining in the regular season. It makes you wonder whether or not he’ll want to remain in [...]

So John Wall takes early-February regular-season games pretty seriously. Strike that: Very seriously. Per CSN Mid-Atlantic’s J. Michael Falgoust, Wall called the Washington Wizards’ Monday night matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers the biggest of his NBA career: [tweet https://twitter.com/JMichaelCSN/status/828069650021879808] This, more likely than not, is just Wall’s way of saying the game against the Cavaliers [...]

Now that John Wall has officially been named to his fourth NBA All-Star Game, what’s he plan to do next? Lead the Washington Wizards to the Eastern Conference Finals, obviously. As the point guard said on TNT’s Thursday night telecast, per Locked on Wizards’ Ben Standig: [tweet https://twitter.com/BenStandig/status/824776273046142977] So, like, this isn’t an unreasonable goal. Yes, the [...]
