“Who Gon Tell Him”- The Entire Internet Had All Sorts Of Things To Say After John Wall Breaks His Silence On Potential NBA Comeback

John Wall has recently broken his silence regarding his future in the NBA. He was candid during his admission for eyeing a potential comeback to the court and leaving the game on his own terms.

During a candid discussion, Wall expressed a deep yearning to retire from basketball voluntarily. As a five-time All-Star, Wall’s journey has been marked by memorable peaks, particularly during his tenure with the Washington Wizards, where he rose as an extraordinary talent as a dynamic playmaker.

“It would mean the world. You want to go out on your own terms. I want to finish it the way I want. If I play my last game, I want to walk off the court my way,” Wall said. 

Wall’s last appearance in the NBA came with the Los Angeles Clippers in January 2023. However, he struggled to find his rhythm and averaged 11.4 points, 5.2 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. His move from the Clippers to the Houston Rockets in February 2023 was a turning point, but he never played a game for Houston after being waived shortly after the trade. Injuries have significantly impacted Wall’s career trajectory with a series of setbacks.

A heel surgery and an Achilles injury limited his performances. Despite these challenges, John Wall put out some flashes of his former self. He averaged 20.6 points during his 2020-21 campaign, though overall effectiveness has declined in recent years.

NBA Fans React After John Wall Eyes Potential Comeback

At 34 years old, Wall’s challenge lies in attracting interest from NBA teams. However, the fact could not be ignored that he remained unsigned through the entirety of the 2023-24 season. While he is not the oldest player in the league, resuming a career after such a turbulent stretch can prove difficult. However, there remains a possibility that a contending team might consider signing Wall on a short-term deal following the February trade deadline.

His honest admission attracted many reactions from around the basketball community. As soon as the news reached the social media fans, they open-mouthed their reaction to Wall’s thoughts. 

“Who gon tell him?” a fan commented. 

“I still think wall can be valuable especially in a bench facilitator role but if this is truly the end of his career. His last highlight is a poster dunk. What a great way to go out,” another fan added.

“Shame his career ended so abruptly but there’s way too much talent out there. He could play oversees if he truly loved to play ball but his pride won’t let him,” wrote another user. 

“I honestly miss the old John Wall man…He and Bradley Beal were one the best duos in the NBA,” another comment read. 

“Rooting for John Wall’s comeback,” a user commented. 

“The game already left you unc… Let it go,” another user quipped. 

However, it remains to be seen if any of the current NBA franchises find Wall a valuable addition to their roster. Only time will tell.
