As a NBA player it is. Especially when you factor in injuries and how long he's been playing.
Is John Wall’s career cooked?
- Thread starter CantStop
- Start date
Game 6 against BostonIt’s wild how much of a forgettable career he had
I can’t think of one memorable moment in his career outside the time he did the dougie during introductions
Hawks series 2017
Against Hawks with broken wrist, Big Bs in 2015
Dunk Contest Champ in 2014

I’m sure some Wizards fans will look back fondly but he didn’t make much of a mark at all on the league
He's had some good games already for the Jazz too
Look deeper into those numbers and what happened on the court and you’ll see why they cut him loose.

I know we tend to shyt on him, but shouts out to Paul George. nikka is the last skeleton of that draft. Buddy went through a wild injury not playing for his team that employed him at the moment, and he's still playing at a high level.
I blame Ted Leonsis for..
1. Not firing Grunfeld after gungate in 2010. A new GM should have picked Wall with the #1 pick. Would definitely have gotten to the ECFs a couple times in the last 10 years.
2. Not investing in basic stuff like leadership coaching for John right out of the gate.
And I blame John for getting sucked into the club lifestyle in the summers and not taking care of himself. He definitely had a higher ceiling to reach with his IQ and athleticism. Look at Brad Beal... he was literally a catch and shoot spot up guy and he maxed out to a 30 PPG scorer off the bounce which no one would have predicted.
He played for the wizards. Nobody will remember any of their stars.. Arenas, Wall, and Beal will be footnotes in NBA history. More of a function of the organization than an indictment on their careers (though Arenas and Wall had their primes cut short due to injuries).
It was all good a week ago...
Everything related to John Wall dun fell off...

In basketball, it's generally the end of your prime if you've been relatively healthy. Around this time you've been paid by the Brinks truck twice and if you're not a franchise player or #2 you start ring chasing.

Ya only the transcendent players play at a high level into their 30s. Everyone else at that point has accepted a bench or supporting role
