Wizards’ Nick Young readjusting to starting role

Found January 02, 2012 on Washington Post:
PLAYERS: Nick Young
TEAMS: Washington Wizards

Picimg_washington_wizards_vs_ae65
When he was coming off the bench as a sixth man, Nick Young was the Wizards’ best, and seemingly only, offensive weapon. He scored 37 of the team’s 167 points in the first two games against New Jersey and Atlanta and his jump shot had a magnetic attraction to the net.

Video: John Wall dunks on 6'11 center

Via My Sports Rumors  |  January 02, 2012
Greg Stiemsma a 6’11 undrafted free agent had his first career start for the Boston Celtics tonight. I’d have to say thanks to John Wall of the Washington Wizards it was a memorable one but for the wrong reason. Wall had a highlight reel dunk on/over him. Now in all honesty, Stiemsma did have a good first start. He scored 13 points with seven rebounds and two blocks...

John Wall Devastates Greg Stiemsma, JaVale McGee Screams Quite Loudly

Via Bloguin Best  |  January 03, 2012
For a little guy, Washington Wizards' John Wall sure can bring down the house with some outstanding dunks. Case in point - Washington's visit to Boston to face the Celtics where Wall threw one down on Boston's big man Greg Stiemsma.

Wall Gets a Technical for Looking

Via NBC Washington  |  January 03, 2012
The Wizards racked up technical fouls Monday night, including a pair that had coach Flip Saunders tossed from the game in the first quarter. But it was a technical called on John Wall that had us shaking our heads. Wall drove hard, dunked on Celtics center Greg Stiemsma and gave him a “who’s your daddy” stare down. The ref, apparently offended by the glare, whistled...
