Say goodbye to the "fastest alliance"! Wall officially retires, and the Wizards official pays deep tribute

John Wall, a 5-time All-Star player who was once known as the "No. 1 in the league", officially released a video through personal social media today, announcing the end of his 11-year NBA career. The news was first disclosed by the well-known reporter Shams, which quickly attracted widespread attention in the basketball world. Although Wall did not express too much emotion in the 1 minute and 45-second farewell video, his words were filled with gratitude for his basketball career. He was selected by the Washington Wizards as the No. 1 draft pick in 2010. He played for the Wizards, Rockets and Clippers in his career, averaging 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, and shot 43% from the field.

Wall was selected as the All-Star in his career, won the 2017 League Third Team, and won the slam dunk contest championship in 2014. He led the Wizards to the playoffs four times, two of which reached the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and his playoff data rose to an average of 21.9 points and 9.8 assists per game, making him a real "big scene player".

It is regrettable that Wall suffered consecutive major injuries during his peak period. He underwent two left knee surgeries between 2017 and 2019, and unfortunately, he slipped while bathing at home and caused a tear of his left Achilles tendon - an accident that completely changed his career trajectory. After his comeback, Wall's explosive power and speed dropped significantly, and he eventually gradually faded out of the main lineup. The Wizards issued an official statement as soon as the news was announced, thanking the "city hero". The article reads: "Thank you for the countless wonderful moments you bring. D.C. will always remember your speed, tenacity and leadership temperament."

From the first pick that was fast and fast, to the veteran who still insisted on returning due to setbacks, Wall's story is both shining and sad. He may have never stood on the stage of the finals, but he undoubtedly left the red figure of a rapid breakthrough and violent dunk in the hearts of countless fans.
