On Sunday, former Kentucky basketball great, and NBA All-Star John Wall spoke to ESPN. While speaking to them, he revealed that he still wants to play in the NBA.
For me, I’m not giving up on my dreams of getting back into the league. I know it’s a lot of stuff that I dealt with, with injuries… My focus is still work hard and come here and network and be around teams. Whatever role it is, I’m willing to accept.
Wall, a former No. 1 overall pick out of Kentucky in 2010, played for the Wizards, Rockets and Clippers in his 11 year career, making 5 NBA all star appearances and an all defensive team in 2015.
