    I don't know about Roids but I wouldn't doubt that many NBA players take the HGH cream for faster recovery times.

    Or it could be that your perception differs from reality. I think that is the more likely scenario.

    If Westbrook can get up as high as Wall why is Wall getting over twice as many blocks?

    John Wall and LaMarcus Aldridge have been named the NBA's Players of the Week.

    Wall averaged 24.0 points, 11.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game while shooting .617 from the field, .800 from three-point range and .857 from the free-throw line in leading the Wizards to a 3-1 record during the week. Wall became the first NBA player since the three-point era began (1979-80) to average at least 24 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, two steals, shoot at least .600 from the field, .800 from three-point range and .850 from the free-throw line in a four game span.

    For real? John Wall is a more explosive leaper than RW?

    Idk what to say so I'll just respect your right to have an opinion but when I look at games; (and I've played against NBA, NFL, and Div. I Big 10 players) when administering the "eye test" RW explodes with more ferocity than any other guard in the league.

    As for your second question, Wall is taller with longer arms and better anticipation. That has nothing to do with the original talking point though.

    Small sample size. He only attempted 5 treys in those 4 games, making 4.

    I think he had made only 3 or 4 3s on the season coming into those 4 games.

    I was being sarcastic. I know....it kills me how these stat guys come up with the most arbitrary numbers to justify slurping a player.

    I mean with Wall I guess it's okay but no one needs to hype Lebron up with stats that mean nothing everyone who knows ball knows he will be an all-time great when he retires.

    Wall has shown flashes of a franchise player but, as of now, he is absolutely not a franchise player.
