Here’s my favorite NBA quote from this past week that didn’t involve Michael Beasley doing ballet:
John Wall: I didn’t have to shoot jumpshots when I was in high school; I just ran past everybody and just dunked and did whatever. So this whole summer that’s all I’m working on is my jumpshot. I wanna take the next step to being a superstar, to be an all-star, that’s my goal this year, so I’m working on my jumpshot and everything else.
Via John Wall Makes 2,000 Jump Shots A Day, Planning On Entering The Dunk Contest, 10/19/11
I’ve said before that John Wall is the player I’m most excited about watching when NBA basketball exists again. Since then, he’s declared that he’s looking forward to getting another shot at Westbrook and Rose at full health and he intends to be the best point guard ever. He’s also done things in exhibition games that have made me yell things I’m not supposed to print here.

I’m trying to figure out how you’re supposed to stop a guy with his athleticism, his court vision, his creativity, if you can’t let him shoot.
Oh yeah. You can’t. This’ll be fun.
