Yeah cause Smart definitely didnt get more contact on that then Beal. Its unreal. NBA wants John Wall to continue on so they can still ride him.
Basically this. They are going to get what they get out of marketing IT and the current Celtics either way. This is about making Wall a household NBA Superstar name and marketing the Wizards.
Its so obvious. The narrative on how these announcers talk about him all of a sudden is not a coincidence.
i brought this up during game 4.
We were WINNING that game and Greg Anthony spent literally every second praising John Wall, and for the first 2+ quarters Wall wasn't even playing well. It was like IT and the Celtics were irrelevant.
And then the refs started jobbing us hard, and Wall got going, and Greg Anthony took his praise to even greater heights.
It was so over-the-top I thought it was suspicious, it felt scripted.
Nothing would surprise me in this league at this point.
