It's looking better than it did in summer league already.
He doesn't need one until next year anyway.

LOL, I just jumped on the John Wall bandwagon yesterday after watching a high school highlight reel of him on Youtube.

seriously..I can't dunk....couldn't dunk EVER. I was the nigga without hops. So besides handles and wet jumper...all my moves to the basket were layups/finger rolls....I did between the leg layups in elementary school...before JR Rider did the dunk....the 360 layup was my move. Well that and the up and under baseline lay up....
As for footage....youtube wasn't popping when I was in high school...nor were cell phones with video cams....all my shit on vhs or those little ass tapes i recorded on my parents camcorder....
and from '99-'03, I was going thru my And 1 phase...I would cross niggas and pass on the layup...just so i could do the j williams off the elbow pass.
I don't play fancy anymore. I would go to the court and try it today to prove you wrong, but I might twist a spine muscle and have to bet disability. fuck that. You win this debate for now.

the sad part is...i had enough hops to touch the rim....but not enough to get my hand over and dunk cleanly...so I would get this whole" Billy Hoyle" mentality during games and be on a break excited like TODAY IS THE DAY....go up and get pinned in front of the whole court.....i did that 2 summers in a row....embarassing. So my fancy layups were a way to save face....

i could easily dunk with 2 hands with minimal effort but didn't have enough body strength to do it in a game setting where I'd have to face contact on the way up. I had to be wide open from the half court line to the basketball to be able to pull off a dunk, and I played down low so I never got to dunk except for in warmups

I dunked for the 1st time at the age of 20
i could get up with ease but could not palm the ball
if i could then i would of been dunking at the age of 16
my dunking days was over after i dislocated my knee at the age of 25
didn't rehab it right and put on weight as a result
