This shit is just unreal

If you've watched any Wizards games recently, you know that Wall has been attacking the rim more aggressively (and successfully) than he ever has before. He's learned how to force the issue when his team needs a bucket, and he's evolved from an athletic distributor who couldn't shoot, to a savvy all around scorer.

Another thing I noticed is that he went to the post 3 times against the Knicks on Christmas. I can't remember Wall posting anyone up since his rookie season. It seems like something that will really open up his all-around game. I mean, which point guards can stay in front of Wall on the perimeter AND guard him in the post? Westbrook and....?

Well, nice and all, but I'd prefer if he stuffed on their faces instead
I'm not sure it's a high percentage shot, actually.

This might sound a little ridiculous, but the actual execution of those shots are pretty simplistic - they're essentially point-blank standard bank layups. The most difficult part might be recognizing the situation where a 360 may work then having the gall to pull it of and make it look good.

I've seen some other 360's that resulted in slightly difficult underhand flips or weird angles, but Wall's both put him in a nice and easy position.

Such beauty gliding and contouring

Watching these new guys like Wall and Westbrook splitting the d just makes me appreciate how much more explosive Wade did it.

Peak Wade behind the back splits were so special. He was so smooth and his finishing was far superior than these guys.

What a play by John Wall.

Yep. Not saying anyone could pull it off but most players with athleticism and decent coordination can do them.

Off the top of my head I've seen Stoudemire, Blake Griffin, Vince Carter, Derozan and Jr Smith all pull that off

Also JR Smith and Nick Young have done so.

Still great looking, though, the Celtics one was unnecessary. He could have easily blown by the off balanced Green. NY one was nice...
