Washington Wizards Big Man Marcin Gortat Laughs At Brandon Jennings

John Wall is the best point guard in the Eastern Conference. Period. End of discussion.

We live in an era that is dominated by elite point guards. Virtually every team in the NBA (with a few exceptions — including the New York Knicks, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks) has a point guard that can play at a high level.

The East has been dominated by Wall, Kyrie Irving, Jeff Teague and Kyle Lowry — all of whom have been All-Stars.

With that said, Wall has undoubtedly been the best in the East for the past several seasons.

Irving has missed most of the season and the other aforementioned players haven’t been playing at an MVP level like Wall.

Wall has averaged nearly 20 points and over 9 assists per game this season. This month, though, Wall has averaged roughly 24 points and 12 assists per game while making over 48 percent of his shots.

With Bradley Beal, Alan Anderson, Nene, Otto Porter, Gary Neal and Drew Gooden all missing time, Wall has been forced to play a ridiculous amount of minutes, but that hasn’t slowed his production.

All the numbers and the Wizards’ recent success point to the fact that Wall is the best point guard in the East. Still, there are going to be others who disagree — like Detroit Pistons point guard, Brandon Jennings.

Jennings, who’s currently working his way back from an ACL injury in the NBA D-League, voiced his opinion on who the best point guard in the East is on Twitter. Jennings went out of his way to support his teammate, Reggie Jackson, who’s also having the best season of his career.

Jennings has been known to say some outlandish stuff on social media, so his opinion on the best point guard wasn’t too surprising. Plus, Jackson is his teammate and someone whom he’ll probably end up backing up in Stan Van Gundy’s rotation very soon.

Marcin Gortat, Wall’s teammate, was quick to dismiss Jennings’ comments with the following emoji:

Gortat obviously believes that Wall is the best point guard in the East and he’s right. Would the Polish Hammer go out of his way to support Wall if he didn’t get spoon fed every game? Probably not. Teammates are going to support each other, even if they’re being irrational — like Jennings, for example.

Jackson is having a wonderful season, but he’s no Wall. Both Jennings and Gortat are known for voicing their opinions, so it was pretty funny to see Gortat’s response on Twitter. Who do you think is the best point guard in the East? Wait — don’t answer that. Wall is the only correct answer.
