John Wall is leading all Eastern Conference guards in All-Star voting. Yes, you read that correctly.

Over the past few weeks, Washington Wizards fans have constantly tweeted their votes for John Wall, hoping to see him start along side the other All-Stars.

Although the Wizards have lost a few games in a row, it’s clear that Wall is the best point guard in the East. He made his first All-Star game this past season, but some were worried that the return of Derrick Rose and the popularity of Kyrie Irving would overshadow Wall’s great season.

That obviously hasn’t been the case.

But, it’s not over yet. If you haven’t done so already, continue voting for John Wall by simply tweeting “John Wall #NBABallot”.

I mean, how great would it for John Wall to finally get the recognition he deserves among some of the league’s best? I’m honestly shocked to see the result, especially since casual NBA fans typically vote for their favorite or most popular player.

Voting will end mid-January, so there’s still time for other players to get their votes. Let’s hope we see John Wall representing the Wizards in the All-Star starting lineup!
