Probably best to read through the thread.

I have. And people always take his shyt out of context. When wall got his Max it was a story about how he didn't deserve it. Later he was like but you see now I'm making the same money as Reggie Jackson. So in the end his contract vs his production was undervalued. Then nikkas tried to argue that Reggie Jackson was just as good as wall. Hell in this thread I've read people still saying he sucks as a player. Yet he averaged 23 and 10 and was one game away from Eastern conference final after coming off double knee surgery. This off-season has been great for him and he'll do even better as he's entering his prime.

Another premise is he's pocket watching on shoe deals. His former agents mismanaged him. And for someone of his stature who's a basketball household name not having a shoe deal.. That was his agents and how they managed him. He wasn't going to be lowballed and now he's got New representation. I haven't even actually seen the quote where he's talking about needing a Harden type deal. But of course coli ran with the narrative.

This was a picture of beal and wall. And they always say that phrase we all we got. As a wizards fan who knows Wall and Beal embracing the fact that to thrive they have to gel is key. They have to be unselfish and have a team first vs me first mentality. So while everyone focusing on the negative the positive is he's shouting out Beal and there's no beef. I don't expect him to mention a thousand people who are not in the pic and that quote we all we got is kinda a team slogan.

And as the premise. Like I said. When did it become bad to hate on other teams teaming up to ring chase?

You clearly didn't read through the thread, especially ending with that last sentence.

nikka what's wrong with my last sentence when that's what the thread title is about..

" John wall throws shade at super teams"
The problem here is that Wall has a history of commenting on other players' situations that leaves him with his foot in his mouth, and therefore he's developed this rep - whether he deserves it or not. You're a Wizards fan so you're obviously well aware of him actively trying to pursue PG just a few weeks ago; you don't see why folk might have a problem with that comment after he was trying to "team up" with players too?
