Over an 11-year career, he played for the Wizards as well as the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers. Since he began his career, Wall has witnessed a considerable shift in the play&#8217;s approach, and he is not fond of it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NBA\u2026the game just changed so much it\u2019s hard to watch,\u201d Wall said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to watch because nobody\u2019s playin\u2019 defense. It\u2019s a lot of shots, and it just \u2013 for me, it\u2019s like goin\u2019 and playin\u2019 pickup.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">John Wall won 3 playoff series in his 9-year career with the Washington Wizards <\/p>\n<p>May not seem like a lot for a former No. 1 overall pick, but you would have to go back 32 seasons to add up 3 playoff series victories for Washington before Wall was drafted <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4UyneAhXKJ\">pic.twitter.com\/4UyneAhXKJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Frank Sumrall (@FMSumrall) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FMSumrall\/status\/1766871387900420600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He is entirely true. Defense has suffered greatly as a result of the NBA&#8217;s strong emphasis on rule modifications that help offense (one example being the defensive three seconds rule).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also almost hard for anyone to play good defense since NBA officials call fouls on defenders so quickly. Even while defense isn&#8217;t the most exciting aspect of the game, it would be highly foolish to try to completely eradicate it.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the number of shots teams are shooting, particularly threes, Wall was not lying. In an NBA game, no team shoots less than thirty 3-pointers; the Boston Celtics average the highest number at forty-two.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">John Wall says he\u2019s open to playing for the Heat<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I could help them a lot.
