John Wall is back and so is his confidence.
After the Houston Rockets star’s direct exit of 20 or more points, he looks as cunning as ever and supports his speech.
Against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, the point guard had 28 points, six assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals, but it was his two blocked shots that brought out his arrogance.
“I feel like I’m the all-time blocking point guard,” Wall told reporters after the house’s 102-94 win.
When asked how long he had felt this, Wall didn’t hesitate.
“Since I entered the league,” he said.
The 30-year-old has played 3 blocks in his first two games. He has averaged 0. 8 game-consistent blocks or more in five of his seasons and has 399 blocks since joining the league in 2010.
Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons leads all leaders this season with 1. 6 blocks consistent with the night. With Wall still healthy after a torn Achilles, the 76ers might no longer remain at the top of this ranking.
