- Prime John Wall was one of the most electrifying players to ever step foot on an NBA court, and in Game 6 of the 2017 1st round, we saw a culmination of his entire arsenal as a player.

He definitely did not get enough love. Was my favorite pg to watch and most definitely the best pg in the east at that time
Prime Wall with 5 out spacing is not fair
He finally got it with Harden in Houston but Harden left him stranded. Watch their highlights they were actually great together but it was like 8 games
I remember always thinking about how Wall and Paul were a dying breed of PG
Best shot blocking PG in NBA history
No cap
He's one of players that made me watch and play basketball. Very elite player
People really don't understand man. He was 24 and 10 nightly WHILE giving u all defense levels of play on the other end
It's a shame he never had a true lob thread to make his PNR game even better
During the 2017 playoffs and regular season u can legit argue he was the 2nd best player in the east. I hope he dosen't get lost in time
Hope a team picks him up he can still hoop
Yep! It seemed like coach Ty never liked Wall to begin with and Wall def did his classic thing where he starts to pile up little injuries, but Wall played almosf impossibly well to start the season with the clippers last year all things considered. Idk how Wall always manages to miss like a year and then come back his first game as good as ever lol. I remember all of the comments in the highlights of the clippers videos the first month would say “stsrt wall!! He’s the only clippers playing well!!!” Coach Lu even admitted he was blown away wirh how good wall was so fast, he thofigt he would need time to get back to himself. But that’s where it’s fishy! Because as soon as he started to struggle a bit, that’s when they cut bait? So like what?? You say you expect him to take some time before he finds himself…he doesn’t tho! But then he shows that he does need a little time to get his busy used to the long run of a season again! And that’s when you cut bait? Idk it was odd! But also as Wall said the clippers clealty wanted a different style of Pg. Or at least that’s what they made it seem. Really weird tho. It’s crazy that aside from overall performance and production, Wall had like 5 of the best 100 plays I saw all season. He had a couple beautiful around the back layups, he had an around the back over his HEAD assist for a dunk, and he also had 2 poster slams with his left hand. Like wtf lol! I remember Vs the jazz he had 8 points in like 4 minutes on back to back to back to back crazy speed burst fast breaks to basically get the clippers back in the lead. He also had that game Vs the mavs where they were down 20 so he started the second half, and he scored 15 in the half with 4 dimes. Then in the 4th Vs the spurs he had 9 points and 4 dimes in the 4th and led the win as a star. Also had 15 assists in 25 mins off the bench, as well as a 12 and 10 double double off the bench, and then a 23 point game off the bench on 8-11 and a 26 point game off the bench in like idk 26 minutes or something. I guess my point is that while he has as many poor games as good ones, he didn’t get a fair shake and his best gmaes he was probably playing like the best player on the court. If he had had full minutes and opportunities during those 20 gmars where he was playing well, he legit could have posted some 40 balls and probably a handful of 20 and 15s like he used to in Washington
So sad he got hurt 😢 Such a great player .
Finally someone showing wall some love
Forgotten prime for sure.
💯
Insane content brother, prime John wall was a menace
Glad you enjoyed!
Wall is my favorite player ever. Never got his just due from the media, and I thank you for this. There was small period of time where he was the second best player in the East (behind Lebron) and I need people to act like it
Stunna I appreciate your comment! Sometimes as a huge fan appreciator I felt like there must be no one else in the whole world who understands how unfairly this man is judged based on the standards antone else would be if they did what he did. Wall is one of the most underrated players ever, or ar least one of the most mis-represented players ever and mistreated players by the media ever.
Those injuries really fucked up wall. Glad to see wall recognition despite playing in one of the worst franchises.
Also, when is that prime dwight and prime dirk vid?? I need that in my system lol
Soon!
This is A1 content and much appreciated 💯 John Wall is a DC legend.
Very interesting video. Damn i miss the days of having steph, russ, dame, cp3, and wall to debate pg rankings. now, i dont believe we have any pg other than steph in the top 10 maybe 15
Luka top 10. Dame's at least top 15
@@nolanrussell6326 you're right dame is top 15. I for some reason categorize Luka as a sg but I guess positionless b-ball
My Scoot Henderson comp
My favorite player easily. I remember arguing with my friends about who was better between him, dame, kyrie and IT. He was so fun to watch and I honestly think if he never got injured he’d be in top 5 pg of all time talks right now
Love the videos
Appreciate that!
At least somebody appreciates this guy
As a Wizards fan this was the last time I was happy
Cooper Flagg got you
Facts bro and its so sad how we went out in 2017 , i jus knew we would b back , Wall was only 26 and Beal was 23 😢
Great Video.
Appreciate it!
W video KGsTHROAT
ok
Can you make one for prime Chris Paul?
Jaylen Brown your next video Hoop Venue 😤😤😤😤
Goat
Isaiah Thomas next
Great video. Where would a prime John Wall rank in today's NBA?
I'm thinking ja morant with defense. Less effective in the half court though but still a good +. Top 25?
I'm thinking somewhere from like 15-22
@@HoopVenue Yea same. His playmaking today would be insane since scoring now is at a all time high.
@@Matthew-xl5bche could have scored more , he never took more than like 18-19 shots , him taking 3-4 more of those shots a game woulda been an easy 25+ ppg scorer
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was the best John Wall, but we probably never saw his prime because of injury and supporting team mismanagement. Imagine if he had a better center than Gortat and a competent medical staff.
This is Ja Morant.
He wad special.
