Gosh I forget how amazing it was when John Wall and Cousins teamed up. What an amazing finish for John Wall, not just setting the record with 22 assists for the NBA Rookie Game, but absolutely pummeling a monstrous dunk to end the game. Check it out!

NBA All Star Rookie Challenge

admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 11:06:01 +0000

The day has come, the beginning of the NBA All Star Weekend extravaganza. In awesome Los Angeles, my hometown of all places. And to kickoff, John Wall will be playing in the Rookie Challenge, tonight starting at 9pm EST on TNT. While the focus has been on other high flying rookies, people forget that Wall is averaging 15, 9, and 4, playing 37 minutes a game. As he gets better along with his team, he’ll be getting a lot more looks at the national level. Until then, let’s all enjoy his national appearance in the rookie game tonight.

Double Double Against the Champs

Our man John Wall had a valiant night against the champs on Tuesday, dropping an impressive double double (22 pts 14 dimes) in a furious comeback that had the game in play until the final possession. While he was at it, he earned some special attention and encouragement from one of the best, Kobe Bryant himself, after the game. Even Fisher, one the game’s wily and respected veterans came by to show some love. Check out all the quotes from the LA Times and Kobe’s video conference below:

NBA Showdown of Calipari Graduates

Hey, I’m just a fan, so I won’t try to analyze all the data and psychology behind tonight’s Wall versus Rose match up. I’ll leave it to the experts to break it down. All I have to say is that with my favorite point guard going up against one of my other favorite NBA point guards, my head is about to explode. Both number 1 draft picks, both taught by same college coach, and both have sick skills. I hope it’s on NBA TV otherwise my West Coast tv channel is going to get some strongly worded letters from me.

And did Calipari really say Rose is slightly faster?!?

Spectacular Summer for John Wall

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:29:07 +0000

Alright, so after a busy summer for free agent news and the just completed summer league, we get to wait for a while before the NBA season starts. I know that John Wall will be in the gym working his tail off. In case you missed it, John Wall has been nothing short of spectacular in the summer league. Coached by Sam “Big Cojones” Cassell, John Wall finished the summer leading in points and assists per game, at 23.5 and 7.8 respectively. Not only that, his biggest contribution has been his leadership at his ripe young age and of course his unparalleled speed. While we’re not surprised at this achievement, consider it another milestone pegged along a bright future.

Oh, and I didn’t forget his dunks. Here’s one for y’all:

John Wall Profile

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 06:59:48 +0000

We all know about John Wall’s wonderful talents on the court, but little do we know about his background, how he came to become the promising top basketball star today. The Washington Post recently published this in-depth profile on Wall, that warrants a read for you fans out there.

Some very interesting points include how Wall was on a road to nowhere, burdened by his father’s early death and own turmoils dealing with it at a young age, to how he eventually channeled his anger onto the court in a positive light. Reading the article gives readers – at least me for certain – a sense of rooting for him to succeed. His story so far has been a true American narrative of one picking himself up from adversity to success through hard work and talent. Let’s all hope that the riches and spotlights of the NBA don’t change or corrupt our young hero.

Congratulations John Wall

After a year of hard work and anticipation, we celebrate John Wall’s number 1 selection in the NBA draft. Well deserved. Savor the moment, celebrate well, and we’ll get back to work soon enough for an amazing rookie season to come. Cheers!

John Wall Draft Update – May

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 00:02:27 +0000

So you may have heard, the NBA draft lottery took place, where teams go through the lottery process to determine who picks first. Note that this is only the lottery and not the actual draft, so no players were picked yet. The Nets, with their exciting new billionaire Russian owner, lost the lottery despite having the best odds at 25%. On the other hand, the tormented Washington Wizards won it. So they will have the rights to draft first come summer.

While we here all know that John Wall is definitely the number 1 pick, and this blog post here makes an amazing and thorough argument for John Wall being #1, some people still question that. Well, it doesn’t matter, because all indications from the Wizards is that John Wall will be drafted first. And it doesn’t matter if Gilbert Arenas is on board or not, he can either go with it (and play 2 guard, which he is fine with), or get himself into more trouble.

It’s been interesting following John Wall these past weeks. He’s gotten a lot of media exposure and even showed up in LA for a playoff game. I’m really excited. I think he’ll do wonders for Washington. The question now is that since the Wizards have all that extra cap space after dumping Jamison and Hayward, what are they going to do with it? Can they sign a good free agent or some excellent players to surround Wall with? We’ll see.
