JOHN WALL RUMORS & GOSSIP

Olympics May Force John to Hit a "Wall"

I get it, The Wizards are pushing for their star point guard and #1 overall pick John Wall to replace Derrick Rose on the Olympic Roster in this summer's games that are taking place in London. It makes sense if you're Ted Leonsis and the Wizards Brain trust. Getting any kind of national exposure is great, but if you can market your superstar in an international competition...

John Wall says he played in too many off-season charity games, should've worked out more

Outside of not letting yourself get as fat as Shawn Kemp did back in the day, nobody really knew how to approach the lockout this past off-season. John Wall did so, not unlike too many other guys, by playing in just about every street ball-style charity event there was. Not to say there were any other styles of charity events of course.

Deron Williams feels sorry for John Wall, rips the Wizards

John Wall hasn’t really blossomed as we expected him to. His numbers this year haven’t improved at all from those of his rookie year. Call it a sophomore slump if you want, but let’s face it: The team he plays on is lousy (yet still a bit better than the team that even NBA.com says stinks). That’s certainly no excuse, but Deron Williams gets it and feels bad...

Winning moments rare for Wizards' top pick Wall

Wall has toiled patiently while the Wizards keep hitting reset buttons on their rebuilding plan.

Video: Monroe steals Wall's dunk attempt

When the Detroit Pistons were at their best in the Eastern Conference a few years, they brought something to the All-Star game that usually didn’t exist.  Defense.  It was the trademark of the Ben Wallace led teams.  In fact, when the Eastern Conference was trailing by 21pts a few years ago, Rip Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, Big Ben and Rasheed went onto the court at the same...
