John Wall was Kelsey Mitchell’s favorite men’s basketball player growing up

The Washington Wizards and their stars aren’t often the first players to come into mind to today’s younger NBA and WNBA stars. So, I have to go out of my way today after learning that a WNBA All-Star guard gave a shoutout to John Wall, whose some of commenters believe doesn’t deserve a spot in their Wizards Mount Rushmore.

Today, the WNBA tweeted a Q&A with Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell, who made the All-Star team for the first time in her career this season. She is averaging 16.3 points and 3.1 assists per game for Indiana

One question she was asked was who her favorite player was growing up.
