This is unequivocally NOT true.

Irving
Westbrook
Cp3
Lillard

Just off the top of my head are ALL better

Irving is questionable to me because the moment he stops playing with LeBron he doesn't show the team is better for having him.
I think all these pgs are on one tier and it's all apples and oranges. You can't expect them to dominate when they are the smallest position on the court. The thing that separates them really is team circumstances.

I think it was debatable, I definitely was in the minority arguing him as the best point in the East (most people argued against me and told me Kyrie was better)...

Wall had the misfortune of both injury and playing in a PG-deep era. All things considered the only points of this era I'd take ahead of him are Curry, Paul, and Westbrook.....him and Russ play a very similar game and Wall at his best was a better defensive player, but Russ has moments of strong D and given the fact he's been more consistently great for a longer period of time, I'd put him over Wall...

But they have a really similar style and all things considered I ain't mad if someone takes Peak Wall over Peak Russ...

Muhfukkas tried to argue Dame over Wall and I never went for it...

I can agree with all of this and definitely respect your opinion.

I also give Russ the nod over Wall,Curry as we both know why as well.

CP had shortcomings but he too goes over Wall.

But guys like Dame,Kyrie,Kemba,Lowry etc no fukkin way.

I agree, but the problem is we've only had one season of healthy in his prime Wall.
And that was before he had nagging injuries slowing him down, let alone being out for a year.

True. But Wall has shown throughout his career he is a better player than Lillard and Kyrie,Kyrie hasn’t been healthy much either

Wizards will be a force when Wall comes back

wall
Beal
Hachimura
Bertans
Boogie possibly

they gonna have a squad
Gonna need a 5 who can protect the rim and another SF who can defend

Bryant, Wagner can't defend

Troy Brown is gonna be a nice rotation player but I can't see him taking the leap. Need wings, badly.

He was looking semi :flabbynsick: on the left side of the screen. And that quote she pulled to ask him about wasn't from this season. I don't know why she brought it out and framed it like that happened this season.

Also him dropping weight. I was watching Tim Grover talk about MJ. Said their focus as he got older was to make him still physically young. He dropped weight, the power was less but the concentration was to do things faster since mentally he already could pick things up. Their workouts were shorter but reps were done quicker. I think going forward that should be the goal for wall. LeBron has successfully done it.

They are doing the right thing by making him finally fully healthy. In the past wall would have been a Go by now. Years ago these two as a pair were making noise when they had competent front court. Now they are so much better than when they started pending a full recovery from Wall. It'll be harder to build around them cause they're not on their first or second contract which was lower. Things can still be done.
