John Wall is opening eyes around the NBA with his play to open the 2010-11 season. His game is flashy, his numbers are historical and dougie is already legendary.
Michael Lee of The Washington Post says Wall is "a rocket" who's under control.
Here is an excerpt:
"Dude's a rocket," said 76ers reserve Lou Williams, one of several Wizards opponents who have been dumbfounded by Wall's speed.
"He is a point guard," Philadelphia Coach Doug Collins said. "When I say that, a lot of guys get brought up where they say they are point guards, where really they are not. John Wall is a point guard. He's a leader and a winner. Speed. Strength. Size. He's going to be an amazing player if he stays healthy, and let's hope he does."
Wall has quickly joined some elite company. He became just the fourth player in NBA history to have at least 20 points and 10 assists in his home debut, joining Hall of Famers Isiah Thomas and Oscar Robertson and former NBA champion Norm Nixon.
And through his first three NBA games, Wall has 71 points and 31 assists, which makes him the only player besides Robertson to have at least 70 points and 30 assists through three games (Robertson had 72 and 30 as a rookie for the Cincinnati Royals in 1960-61).

hmmm..guess that means that Colin Cowherd is still a moron...he belittled Wall on his ESPN morning show (citing Wall's 9 turnovers as the main reason)...and proceeded to tell his audience that Wall is a "me first" kind of player...yet JWall and Oscar Robertson in the same sentence...the only two NBA players EVER to have 70 points and 30 assists in their first 3 pro games...something that Jabbar, Jordan, Bird, Chamberlain, Russell, Cousy, West, and everyone else who ever donned an NBA jersey never did...nice going Cowherd...further proof that your viewpoint is often skewed by your ignorance
