Wizards' John Wall Discusses Experiences with Racism, Fear of Police, More

In the wake of George Floyd's killing and with protests around the country calling for an end to racial injustice and police violence, Washington Wizards star John Wall discussed the threats he feels as a black man living in the United States.

Wall offered his thoughts on the Hoops, Adjacent podcast (h/t The Athletic's David Aldridge):

"If I get pulled over right now, I'm terrified. To be realistic. If I'm in a dark area, or a back street, I'm not stopping. I'll go to a high-speed chase to get to a spot where it's a grocery store, or somewhere where's there's a lot of lights at, because that's how terrifying it is.
