John Wall On Who’s The Greatest Wizard of All-Time

John Wall On Who’s The Greatest Wizard of All-Time

we had Gil here earlier in the season and he mentioned that he would give the ND to you as being the greatest wizard of all time do you feel that way yourself uh it’s funny bro because I do I mean like I know how much Gil mean to the city and like how he embraced the community the same way I did I always tell people like I had arguments with DC guys all the time like I’m taking Gil I’m taking you I’m like I get it I’m not mad at either one but I feel like I’m that guy you know I mean just for going number one being there embracing the city the way I did the way they embracing me um I always go back man I try to go back every summer and show love you know I mean I still do my backpack giveaway there or I try to do a a turkey drive or anything just to get back because I know how much those people come from what I come from you know I mean being in Section 8 being in places where you have single moms or single dad or you just don’t have what you need and I just always want to embrace and get back to that so I definitely call myself the greatest wizard but I don’t really like to say that unless other people say it you know like sometimes like well I call myself the goat but the everybody else give me that recognition so it’s a debate to have but I’m I respect Gil for that and uh I definitely want to give a big shout out to Gil because uh I seen him on his pot when he was talking about like I gave him the love of basketball B you know I mean and I never knew that story I never knew that story like I just always he said I can reach out to him I hit Gil like yo what you think I can work on what you think I can fix and he was like he never told me that he wasn’t watching basketball he was black checked out of basketball so to see that uh that’s a lot of love and that’s somebody uh that I respect so a shout out to Gil for sure right that’s one one thing I love about this pod space is like indirectly you can get these stories off and hear from what other people’s point of views are um when it’s all said and done you feel like number two should be hung in that Raptors in DC uh there would be something I would love man for my family I would love that for the team that drafted me number one um that would be great I think for the city they they would love that and embraced that for sure uh but any day you know that’s all up to Mr Leons and his family and the wig organization to make that decision but you know DC will always be home to me bro it’s it’s the I connected with the fans I connected with the community they always hold a special place in my heart but for damn sure my jersey should be in the rappers bro John I want to rewind a little bit to your time when uh you were playing with the Clippers which was a fun Year everyone was excited and you guys had a road game and you went back to DC and you hit some big shots the crowd was going crazy I think you said something like this is my city but just walk us through that moment going back to DC and having the game you had what was that like for you personally um it was it was amazing bro it really still to this day give me chills because um I mean been there for 10 years getting drafted number one there my mom been there um been in that moment you know I mean being close to North Carolina only four hours away and uh the city embraced me the way they did and um I remember leading up up to the game it was like they wanted to draw the first play for me and all this I’m like bro let’s just play like I don’t want the first play I just want to play and I miss some easy shots and I was like damn bro I’m missing I’m playing bad I want to win it was a good game they didn’t have a lot of their players playing but you know mean p and uh Nico and W held it down and made some big plays but being in that moment I I had so much love you know I mean like I bought so many tickets and everybody that had a part in my life being there since I was a skinny 19y old kid with no fa here no kids no nothing no tattoos they all yeah I had my cleaning lady there I had people that worked on my house I told some of the people that’s like the ushers at the at the arena not to work I would buy them tickets like to have somebody else go for them so when I made that shot and I turned around looked at the crowd I felt like I was in a Wizard’s Jersey like it felt like everybody looked at me and I’m like this still my city and I used to always say that when I was in that moment and I to see everybody raise up and give me that type of love I was like damn they really love me here this this is a place I will always call home so it was definitely great to uh get that win there yeah it definitely it definitely had goosebumps around that whole thing cuz we went to San Antonio we saw the the that went on with Kawai and San Antonio we go to Indie different reception then we in in Washington in in DC and it was just like like you said it was like you were still there you know what I mean and you felt it like you felt the love that they really had for you and and the sadness of you leaving and you know the respect that they have for you cuz you meant so much and and and then you just see kids with the two wizards Jersey and in the crowds and I I remember just playing and I’m looking around like it’s a lot of like John Wall support in here yeah so I mean that was that that was just a dope moment bro and I’m I’m happy that they sent you off like that I’m happy that you had that moment to to bring peace to I feel like that situation uh as a whole and uh man I was that was that was awesome that was nothing but love there it felt so dope for me because I forgot when I went there with Houston it was it was Co you know I mean so it was no fans allowed so I got to play one time but it was no fans there so that’s why I say it was so much because I know a lot of people wanted to go but it was no fans so when I went back and I was with the Clippers and uh
