With his on-court basketball career officially behind him, John Wall is deservedly receiving his flowers.
The Washington Wizards, where Wall spent his first nine seasons as an NBA player and earned five All-Star nods, announced Thursday that the franchise is set to honor Wall’s career in the nation’s capital later this month. The Wizards will celebrate Wall on Thursday, Jan. 29, in a home game against the Milwaukee Bucks, with the first 15,000 fans set to receive a John Wall bobble head — that alone is worth the price of admission.
After an 11-year NBA career, Wall retired from the game last February, but soon joined Amazon Prime Video in the summer as a studio analyst for the platform’s inaugural season as a broadcasting network for the NBA.
