We've featured Kentucky freshman point guard John Wall previously (click here) and he's back again, but this time it's Lebron James who's gushing, "He's great," the Cavs mega-star said last Friday. "He'll be the No. 1 pick in the draft."
LeBron developed a relationship with the Kentucky guard when Wall attended the MVP's basketball camp in Akron, OH over the past few summers (LeBron is from Akron). James has had a chance to play with and observe Wall play.
"His speed with the ball. He's like Derrick Rose," James said. "Derrick is much stronger than he is, but he has some of the same athleticism that Derrick has and Coach Cal is going to let those type of guys play. He has shown why he came out being the top player in high school and is one of the top five players in college."
In high school Wall was cut from the basketball team because he had a shitty attitude to which James commented. "He won't be cut again, unless he's in a barber's chair."
We appreciate LeBron's attempt at humor, but he should stick to basketball and leave the one-liners for real professionals like Dane Cook.
wall is the future! he's prolly gonna take a piece og that Nike pie from the King
