The Emergence of John Wall
Questions have surrounded John Wall his entire career. Is he mature enough to lead a team? Can he become a threat shooting from the perimeter? Will he be able to carry his team in the postseason?.... Over the course of this season he has really transformed his game and has put himself on the short list of best floor generals in the NBA.
Last night, Wall ended the Atlanta Hawks season almost single handedly as he scored 42 points while also dropping 8 dimes. It was peak John Wall. He was going coast to coast in the blink of an eye looking to attack the rim, and if the gaps were clogged he kicked the ball out to his teammates for open looks.
The Wizards are set to face the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semi-Final which is set to begin tomorrow afternoon. It is on this stage that Wall will have the opportunity to show America that he is not just another flashy guard, but rather a transcendent talent. If he can put the Wizards on his back yet again and lift them past the Celtics, a meeting with King James and the Cavaliers is looming. John Wall often pouts about the lack of respect he receives from pundits and fans alike. If he wants to change that, he can. But he must win, and if he can manage to do that, not only will he become a household name, but he will also have the Wizards on the precipice of a championship.
