I’ve thought this for a while now, and it’s time I say it on here. There is no better point guard in the Eastern Conference than John Wall. And guess what? It isn’t even close. Look at these 2017 playoffs. In Game 1 John Wall had 32 points and 14 assists. That is a RIDICULOUS statline for a point guard, and if you watched the game, you could see he did even more that the stats didn’t show. The same goes for Game 2 tonight. Once again scored 32 along with 9 assists and 1 steal. Unreal numbers, and anyone who watched could see how he was running the show, making defensive plays, and bringing the whole crowd to their feet constantly. And he has been doing this all season. There should have been way more talk about John in the MVP voting, but sadly he was overshadowed by the media’s hard on for triple doubles and a good story. Regardless he has out preformed any other guard in the East so far in the playoffs, and you could say any other point guard in the league.

Now people try to tell me Isaiah Thomas is better *insert however many crying laughing emojis you feel are deserved here.* IT4 is currently down 2-0 in a series with the 8 seeded Chicago Bulls, and lets be honest, John Wall has proven he can be just as much of a reliable scorer without being such a defensive and rebounding liability. I realize what Isaiah is currently dealing with, so prayers up to him, but sorry, he is just not a better player than John Wall. And now I know there will be all the Kyrie fans who see him dribble and cross up someone on Twitter and suddenly think he’s Jesus resurrected, but let’s be reasonable. Kyrie can score with the best of them, but when it comes to playmaking, passing, defense, rebounding, and leadership I will gladly take John over him. Also Game 1 for the Cavs against the Pacers Kyrie has 23 points on 26 SHOTS…. couldn’t be my top point guard in the East. Finally for anyone who (sadly) wants to make a case for Kyle Lowry I’ll just leave you this from Game 1 in the Raptors- Bucks series.

Pathetic.

Anyways, give my man John some darn credit over here. He obviously deserves it.
