John Wall shared on The Players’ Tribune’s Knuckleheads Podcast that he believed he was the second-best player in the Eastern Conference during his peak, only behind LeBron James.
Reflecting on his performance in the 2016-17 season, Wall expressed his confidence in his abilities, stating, “I felt like I was coming into being a superstar.” Despite facing injuries, he felt he had solidified his status as a top player in the East.
In a recent announcement during an NBA Summer League game, Wall reaffirmed his determination to make a comeback, emphasizing his resilience in the face of challenges both on and off the court.
Wall’s claim may not be far-fetched considering his exceptional performance during the 2016-17 season, where he achieved career highs in various statistical categories and received recognition as an All-Star and All-NBA Third Team member.
Although his last NBA game was in January 2023 with the Clippers, Wall remains focused on returning to the league, showcasing his skills and dedication during his time with the team.
Despite his impressive contributions off the bench for the Clippers, Wall continues to be a free agent, eager to find a new opportunity in the NBA.
