As Wizards fan myself, he's not moving past Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Gilbert, Gus Johnson or Walt Bellamy.

One of my favorite players...
Should be a lock HOF, but he's not because he was too distracted off the court

I think Wall had a better career, but Gilbert had a 3 year run that was next level.
Wall should have been a 24/11/5 caliber player for years.....but just wasnt sadly.
I'd put John above Arenas. Because John led teams into the 2nd round and within a couple of plays of the Eastern Conference Finals twice. Arenas got hurt in 2007 and was never the same.
But yeah, those old Bullets are a cut above. Especially the guys who won the championship!
Only 11 seasons. We got robbed by injuries. John can still play the game but he didn't adapt his game for when his speed would leave him.
John had HOF talent. His highs were really high, but too many moments where he needed to lead and immaturity showed. I blame the organization though. Plus lack of professionalism around him especially when he was in his first couple seasons surrounded by guys like Nick Young and Andray Blatche. He became a DC nightlife legend. Got too cool for school.
Ted Leonsis should have gotten rid of Ernie Grunfeld before John was even drafted. A new regime would have made that whole era work better.
Do you think he was better than Billups? They have similar resumes outside of the title which is obviously a big deal but Chauncey got inOne of my favorite players...

I thought he was gonna get the next quad double
