Former first absolute choice at the NBA draft and 5 times All Star, the playmaker has had a very good career, but he missed more than something to enter the club of the great ones
A magnificent illusion. The wrong girlfriend for the Washington Wizards fans, but of those who do not leave a bad memory because after all it was right to try to have no regrets. John Wall, 34, “flying” director, with the special effects for athleticism, retires after 11 seasons in NBA. From unfinished. He would have had everything to become a great of the game, physically and technically. However, he missed his head, the most important requirement. Too humoral, inconsistent, as taller as little leader. And some injury, spiteful, also put himself sideways. Wall says enough by pulling down the curtain on a career, however excellent, but which could have been sensational and if he had had a different maturity. The dazzling highlights remain on their heads: the crushed, the passages in transition, the sprinter speed. Trophies? Not received. Not even never went close to getting one. But after all, far stronger directors did not make it, from John Stockton to Chris Paul, from Steve Nash to Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook. Wall has showed off an athletic omnipotence not far from that of Russ, but he missed his dedication for the game of the former Thunder Mvp. Sin.
