John Wall has been one of the most renowned NBA athletes of modern day. His ability as a point guard has made him get recognized as the best in the game. However, while he has hung up his dunking boots recently, Wall is not going anywhere from the NBA.
After 11 seasons, Wall finally announced his retirement on Tuesday. While his career has wowed many, several injuries have further dented the growth of the iconic athlete. However, on a much brighter note, Wall announced about getting an immediate new deal with the NBA.

Immediately after getting the opportunity, Wall seemed immensely pleased to have gotten the opportunity.
The NBA star stated that now, he will have the chance to interact more with the audience. He also expects to share his deep knowledge of basketball and the game through the broadcasting channel.
One of our franchise all-time greats.

The 34-year-old further explained how he has a keen eye for talents. Wall claims that just by looking at young athletes, he can immediately tell who the best player is among them. “I can basically tell you the best player in the country — from girls to boys, high school, to the players that’s in college, to the people that’s at the NBA and WNBA,” Wall stated in an interview with The Washington Post. Thus, with things looking bright, it now remains to be seen how well can Wall manage his broadcasting journey.
