BOSTON – Against the Washington Wizards, the Boston Celtics built a defensive wall of sorts against John Wall that eventually wore him down. A similar mindset applies to defending Cleveland’s LeBron James. But as we have seen through the years, defending James – particularly in the playoffs – is a lot easier said than done.

Now that John Wall is finally All-NBA for the first time in his career, it's difficult to find any reason to complain about him being recognized among the top 15 players in the league. He made third team -- ahead of the likes of Kyle Lowry, Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, Goran Dragic and Damian Lillard who have appeared before him-- but behind second-team selection Isaiah Thomas. On the surface, it's splitting hairs. So what? At least Wall fulfilled one of his goals after a 49-win season and getting the Wizards to Game 7 of the conference semifinals. But he'll surely find exta motivation because even though he has begun to earn more respect on a national scale, he won't feel it was enough after averaging Continue to Article
