The Orlando Magic do not have a player that is even remotely close to the talent level of John Wall. And in today’s superstar-driven NBA landscape, the best player on the floor will—more times than not—lead his team to victory. Despite Wall’s superhuman effort, and a career high 52-points, the Wizards were largely not even competitive against a sub-.500 club.
Wall was the only Wizard to stand and face the media after the disappointing loss, and he may have also been the only Wizards player to actually look like he gave a damn during the 48 minutes of game action.
