  • "John Wall - #1 Player in Class 09" uploaded September 19 2008.. woah.

  • @ShhNahTerFauter Why are you saying woah?

  • Hello to the future of the Washington Wizards.. well if he can stay on the court that is

  • WOW

  • i mean..... it has become a house of athletic freaks and semitalented people with little or no b ball iq nor finesse,

  • seems like he got a lot quicker after coming out of this camp to play with kentucky

  • UGHH again, these defenders these players are crossing are completely terrible at on-ball defense.

  • @tekknking is in the nba and being caled a phenomenon isn't he???

  • @alejandrothefader Haha its still the preseason and I havent seen anything to be called a phenomenon? Hes nice out thre but nothing spectacular

  • @tekknking to be honest, no, not at all... although he is quite good and veery very quick... as much as i've ever seen since iversons time but generally talking i only see from this year and on a downfall in the nba, kobe's reign (the last impressive, dominant and close to goat player) is slowly ending and no new talents have the guts to stand there, and still stern is trying to create talents. to make the nba be profitable for him. no man not only wall, there aren't ANY new phenomenons anymore

  • Comment removed

  • @tekknking wathcing closely we only have a wrecked kobe trying to go for 3 peat although desintergrated, an easy-way trampoline jumper with no self esteem and titles (lbj) a hybrid great player stocked with him and other many talents (dwade) man and a new species known as durantula which is a soft scorer that does'n have the possibilities (for me )to scratch kobe's prime (do not mention jordan's) where is the old nba?

  • @alejandrothefader As I've been watching the players play, the game today is so garbage. No hate to John Wall but lets be honest, if he didnt have speed he wouldnt be anything. He shoots worst than Rajon Rondo which is pretty bad. Kobe was the next person who would make a person love basketball like MJ did. Lebron james is just an athletic sorry basketball player. I havent seen him do anything spectacular. DUrant might be the next one. He actually has game not just fancy handles.

  • @tekknking true to the last word

  • This is Mr. RIP rite here

  • The game here is more complex than just dunk dunk dunk foo! Many NBA players have post game and a pull up jumper! Rubio went back over seas cuz his daddy said so!

  • Just another reason why the NBA is going downhill....

  • You know hes filthy when hes playing against all black teams and still schooling em haha

  • wizards all-star...

  • does it matter wat grade yuhr in to be in pangos?

  • John has obviously hit the weight room cause he looks much skinnier in this video than playing now at UK

  • @acehoodfan101 ist mostley bcuz of uk's jerseYs r tight

  • he went back to spain becuase he didn't want to play for the timberwolves

  • joke?

    what you mean joke?

    hello?

    try guarding LBJ or kobe.

    please tell me that your just joking?

    nba "man to man" D

    zone? c'mon...

    fouling? international??? hello?

    i remember when T-mac and vince on usa b-ball olympics

    everytime T-MAC go for the dunk hes been tackled in the air hehehe... fouling?

  • Ok so he can dunk the ball thats obvious. He can dribble well, but my guess is he couldn throw a rock in the ocean, there wasn't a single clip of him taking a shot. Sure its another one of those recruits that can just dunk and shoots 15% from the feild and 12% from the free throw lines.

  • I Know i could get scholar ships im 6'3 i gota 34 inch vert i plan on playin college basketball. I work hard in class and on the court im only a sophmore tho. I just wanta know so ways i could get noticed

  • @iPuRpLeOuTz man lemme tell u. if u good and compete in a region that dont suck ass u get noticed.

  • just lead your team to the championships and you'll get scolarship, and keep up the good grades , go to camps , and stay practicing , mayb one ill c u there , im a sophmore too , and i can dunk , striggling with the grades tho

  • @TheZer0celsius possibly english?

  • anybody can dunk. .. go work on ur pull up jumper and u might get noticed

  • @sullj71 you didn't know much abbout the kid back there didn't you...... well now you definetly know better.....

  • right hander who dunks with his left like me. thats awesome

  • for some reason can only i feel way better dunk or laying it up with my left and am a righty its werid to me

  • @ 4evernever....i really doubt you can dunk

  • he ca dunk with both tho

  • i noticed that too, i been practicing with my left and im right handed but im terrible lol at first i thought he was left handed til he shot the ball :/ pretty sick

  • When UofL and UK meet, UK has a strong first 5, but that bench is still last year's team. Foul trouble or injuries could expose them.

    Not to mention another NCAA infraction! LOL

  • really well done video, props

  • im knockin the man, he is nice but if u notice some of these players get ranked and they havent played anybody with the same skill level, preps and academy schools always have someone thats ranked cause we played some ranked preps and academys and we whip that ass but he is a good player

  • I hope he can shoot jumpers and make free throws

  • Cant wait 2 c dat that nigga in college

  • mad mousey da magiican moves....lol

  • Wow this was september 08? Dude this guy got quicker, more explosive, and more buff lol.

  • does anybody know the song that's in the beginning?I think I've heard it in a song or something.

  • siva will put this criminal in his place

    ever since he got charged with B&E schools like Duke and UNC took away scholarship offers

    so when UKKK gets in trouble with this kid (who is a flop) and there cheating coach, i'll be laughing along with the rest of the country.

  • seemeinHD, your facts are way off. when he got arrested, Duke didn't take away their offer. it was still there, and they still really wanted him. and UNC never even offered.

  • dnt hate on dis kids game even if he isnt as gud as siva or watever, he still got a game

  • he does got game he has mad game just no defense, he will be a better pro no doubt but im sayin when louisville plays UK it will be a showdown between siva and wall

  • no it wont, siva doesnt compare...

  • hes not #1 no hating trevor cooney better look him up

  • (mogamethenu) get off his nuts john wall is a great basketball player ..we all know

  • dude jus dominated dem dudes look like they wre 5graders no comp at all he da truth

  • we arnet in europe u need flash in ur game stop hatin this cat is nice

  • This was a while ago and it is so great to see that he has taken off so much -game wise- from here... Because this is like footage from the summer before his senior year. His shot's improved, hops have gone to another level, quickness is unmatched by many in his grade, his passing is better, decision making is spectacular, and his energy is outstanding. His whole game has improved from this video to now. I can't wait to see him grow more... a lot have talent few have potential, he's the latter.

  • wall is going to be better than rubio

  • @phenomballer666 turns out you were right

  • damn john wall must have put in alot of work in the summer he doesnt seem that good in his junior year but his senior year was crazyyyyyyyyyy

  • Funny thing is thats Ceazar Gurrero he is abusing in the Begining lol

  • i jus wanna know who this track is by?

  • btw if wall and kentucky play kansas next year they better get ready to be rocked. rock, chalk, jayhawk.

  • wow, rubio has better d than john wall, did you see him when spain took on team u.s.a, apparently not. he went head to head wit chris paul, d-will and held his own. wall's quicker and has more speed like drose but rubio is more a complete pg like jkidd. both are very talented in their own ways, but on this vid NO one is playin any d so you can't judge on that

  • your fucking dumb!

  • and how is that dumbass. tell me something i said that was wrong. apparently you've never seen rubio play, like i said his d is better and so is his I.Q. the dood plays wit grown men in Spain and dominates in the best league outside of the NBA. Wall is good as well but until i see him play legit competition in college i'll take rubio right now.

  • ok ya'll niggas need to shut the fuck up; i know this nigga personally. John Wall has more heart than Rubio, far as experience i'll give it to Rubio, but this nigga would be a problem if they went one on one against each other John has more handle, speed, De, can create plays and can finish better then rubio. Rubio Has Hops and Perimeter shot with no handle or speed nor De. These niggas are the same height rubio just has more experience watch John next year.... EVER SEE HIM ASK HIM ABOUT L.U

  • this guys a problem

  • that instrumental go hard

  • yea that beat is nasty

  • savedpanther, no thanks to what? Probably the fastest player with the best handles in the country? I'm sure he can't pass or play defense. I'm sure he also lobs it to himself off the backboard every time down the court in the same way that Jordan tried to dunk from the ft line on every possession. It's a highlight tape from a summer camp. He's gifted and you're insane if you wouldn't want him.

  • Is he talented? Yes sir he is. 1112234ery much so. Still, every video I see is him showing off his individual skills, I haven't seen anything that makes me think he'd make the other 4 players around him better. Sorry, I don't like the individualism in the NBA, I think that's what's ruined it and I'm more about a guy, especially at point guard.. that can make my favorite team better, not just a guy that can put on a good show. I respect your opinion, but mine differs.

  • I would take Ricky Rubio over John Wall anyday. Rubio has much more experience and has a high level hoops IQ to outfit his opponents. John Wall is still a very good player.

  • 3 words.

    Height

    Athleticism

    Strength

  • can he play defense? did any of those jumpers he put up actually go in? where are the assist high lights? isn't he supposed to be a point guard? No thanks

  • Comment removed

  • You don't know jack about basketball - don't pretend like you do. I'm not even going to waste my time trying to explain anything to you. Just go search 'John Wall' on google.

    Retard.

  • ahh, my opinion differs from yours, therefor, I must be an idiot.

  • iq can be learned?i dont think so...athletic can be learned yes,if u work everyday...

    and wall doesnt have a great jumper

  • how can athletsicm be learned? its a god given gift, can be improved a lil bit. but rubio will never even come close to what john wall did in HIGHSCHOOL. wall would kill rubio so hard, its not even funny

  • oooo I don't know man...Rubio was showin out against NBA STARS, not some better than average highschool players that will one day say "Hey I played against Wall and he dropped 50". It will be good to see them match up though.

  • you mustve missed it when wall dunked on jerry stackhouse

  • lol naw I seen it. and believe me he candy yammed on stackhouse lol...BUT stackhouse is OLD and is NOT still a NBA star. Stackhouse NEVER before or now could represent the USA Olympic team. so yea, I still stand by what i said. we should be on around the horn or somethin lol

  • What are you saying Old skoo Stack was an NBA allstar and could have well repped us in The 2000 or 04 Games

  • Shoulda coulda woulda...didn't. thas all I am sayin. lol and please don't hype Stack THAT much...if I remember any, he DIDNT start as an All-Star (which is only half the league ie. Eastern Allstars) so WHY would he make the team of the 12 best? Even when real superstars like Kobe sat out?

  • Beacuse stack was a Beast .......and Dnt Lie u prolly played with him In da Old games lol...i DId

  • lol heck yea that was my dude on NBA Live 98 haha. had like a 94 in dunkin rating...automatic lol

  • haha Right He was a beast

  • If Rubio was showing out against NBA stars why did he go back to play in Spain? If he was that good playing against NBA stars he should have stayed with Minnesota. Rubio has game and so does Wall. Overall I think Wall is a better player. Both will have time to develop but Wall will emerge as a star before Rubio.

    In the end Rubio < Wall

    What do you think?

  • lol well whether Rubio ever comes and plays over here or not, he still was showin out at the Olympics. That is fact that boy was lightin it up at like 17. And I don't why he ain't come over. Praly some national rules or his mommy aint let em haha. It will be interesting to see Wall. I like em.

  • that isn't actually why he went back to spain. fail.

  • @n1stunna89 Wait USA get their asses beat?? I didnt know winning a gold medal is getting your ass beat??

  • This mix doesnt really impress me..I mean,hes as old as ricky rubio,and ricky is bettter then him...not athletic,but iq

  • iq can be learned, whereas athleticism cannot. i think john wall has the advantage because he has a much better chance of being a legitemate scoring threat compared to rubio. rubio has the advantage in terms of court vision though, i think.

  • how old is he?

  • hes 19

  • umm hes going to uk

  • LOL who cares...... he's goin to college first not the NBA,,,, and its not gonna read Duke, UNC, UCLA or UCONN on his jersey

  • it should read UCONN...but that would be too perfect

  • Your retarded. Hes going to UK

  • i think it s unc with like 62 players or something that they starting five leave every years seem like

  • actually Duke leads with the number of current NBA players

  • this nigga tights as fuck!

  • he embarasses people with his spin move.

  • actually uconn does da's

  • thats why Duke leads the country in players in the NBA

  • actually ucla does

  • just because your skinny doesnt mean your weak..i kno dudes 6'3 135 who will posterize your ass

  • he needs to get stronger, hes gonna get bullied in college..he looks weak

  • look at kevin durant and what he did to college players and the nba.

  • agreed

  • "God Christian Academy"? i would shoot myself

  • yo wats wrong wit u??? u good homie?

  • He's gonna be an 18, 6 and 4 guy at UK. I think he sould develop in college for 2 years then come out and be the number 1draft pick in 2011.

  • Or he could come out and be the number 1 pick in the 2010 draft.

  • He will stay 2 years at UK and them come out the number one pick of the draft in 2011.

  • i hope so

  • most def. look at what happened to griffin. he went from lottery pick to unanimous #1

  • ohh no jermey tyler will definetley be number one pick in 2011 i can already see it. hes just a total beast

  • Woh, he reminds me of Tracy McGrady!!! He makes space with his crossovers so he can shoot, and he has a great hunger for getting in closer to the hoop (all like McGrady)! Maybe if he goes to the NBA he can be my favourite

  • i really like his style of play. he plays every posession intensely and goes hard every play. no breaks. he takes it serious

  • hes comeing to kentucky bitchz!!! we gunna rape!

  • didint ku also get renardo sidney?

  • NO THEY DIDNT HE WENT TO ANOTHER SOUTHERN COLLEGE I THINK IT WAS miss st

  • ok chill out i was thinking of the wring guy

  • Wow, I am so happy we got Wall at KY. We really need him...

  • Can coach Cal sell ice to eskimos?

  • When john Wall goes to the NBA from kentucky next year, he will have to take a PAY CUT !!

  • 0:50 is smooth

  • welcome to big blue nation wall I cant wait to see this guy play next season at rupp this upcoming season and beyond will be a blast

  • another Durant!

  • I don't give two shits what people are saying about his breaking and entering. He's a good kid and will be amazing. Get ready for Kentucky shitholes who hate. Others, you don't apply.

  • he didn't do any breaking and entering, the story was over blown... the house was completely empty... more of a tress passing deal on a home that was to be sold

  • Are you calling Kentucky fans shitholes or are you calling people who hate UK shitholes?

  • People who hate UK. Im a die-hard Cat fan. Always will be. Love to have this kid on board.

  • wait whos better john wall or brandon jennings??

  • J-Wall, no doubt. He's a tad faster with the ball and is the much better interior passer.

  • Brandon Jennings trust me

  • check out sportspresstv it has ranking from people who actually played the game

  • "The Great 140559" you're effin whack, that man wont even tryin to steal... get some new material jack ass

  • he's too good

  • He Got SOOOO much better this year

  • LOL 0.48! Nice reflexes by the ref.

  • Who cares about Rupp this is the year 2009. At least UK has changed with the times. Duke still thinks they are living in the 60s

  • tht was nonsense 0:56 no one even tried blocking him they just looked those kids must suk balls and make him look like a star

  • ur retarded what could they do jump into him and buddy it is an all american camp with some of the best players of 09

  • rupp was really racist you retard

  • Wall to UK, because he's smart. Tradition-rich program with 2 titles in the last 13 years, going for number 8 next year--and Wall and Bledsoe are the missing pieces.

  • 2003 nba draft is the best draft eva :))

  • Calimari is all over Bledsoe now, because he knows Wall isn't coming. dook* is so desperate for talent that the marketing team put out the youtube vid full of blatent lies. UNC will be running some fools off the court next year. Could get quite ugly.

  • isnt he going to kentucky??where's he going:s

  • Fu*k kentucky. GO TEXAS WESTERN!!!!!!!!!

    Rupp was a racist bastard and EVERYONE knows it. In other news, John Wall is NOT GOING TO UK!!!

  • go UK and rupp wasn't racist.

  • This guy is really good

  • I was so pissed that they lost to the world the other week.. This boy played so hard.. kid is the real deal..

  • how can you say you are back when your team was in the NIT last season....jesus christ shut the hell up dumbass

  • that was last year, we got some new coach name john calipari now...u might have heard of him

  • anyone that has ever said that whiteboys cant play ball is more racist than adolf rupp. furthermore, rupp was NOT a racist. just ask pat riley. ever heard of him? (played at UK for rupp) he strongly claims rupp wasn't as bad as the media tries to make him look.

  • ...Rupp refused to recruit black players. Are you stupid? Rupp was a sign of the times and the times were racist. Rupp wasn't any worse than any of the other coaches at the time, but it took him a LONG time to recruit a SINGLE black player. Shiiiiiiit.

  • i probably am stupid, ill give you that, but if every coach was just like him, how does that make those years not count for UK.

    On top of that, no program has been more dominant than UK since Rupp retired, so why even bother to argue about it.

    Shiiiiiiiit =D

  • UK was the first program in the SEC to have a black basketball player on the team. Who recruited him there? Oh thats right! Rupp, thank, and good bye.

  • And why did he do that?....After getting his ASS HANDED TO HIM by those same "KIND OF PLAYERS" he "NEVER" wanted to recruit in the first place!!!

    1966 Texas Western

  • wow this guy has the full package doesnt he:

    handles

    shots

    good passing

    and HOPS!!

  • COME TO STATE!!! It would be amazing we already got Lorenzo Brown a top 10 recruit and another 4 star recruit (Richard Howell), if we get the best player in the upcoming high school class we could be a top 10 team for the next year or two

  • youre a dumbass....why the hell would Wall take a chance with that sorry team...when he could join Calipari at Kentucky...don't hold your breath man, get some fresh air...he's with Kentucky now...State wouldn't know what to do his talent

  • J Dix you like DIx in your mouth boy? CAL didn't play in the championship game and it is not his fault his players could not make free throws.

  • Duke ain't shit.  They haven't won anything in as long as UK has been down. UNC is up there but not on par with UK. Rupp was not a racist... he had black players on a lot of his teams, and this white trash redneck says you are just another hater that can't stand the fact that Kentucky will always be a superior basketball state to North Carolina. Don't worry though, you still have NASCAR.

    GO BIG BLUE

  • UNC is not on par with UK? LOL. Hopefully, you will make the tournament next year.

  • You fucking moron, you obviously understand nothing about Kentucky or basketball in general if you are seriously sayin this shit...7 national titles 1st all time in wins, and we're back now so bow down, bitch.

  • hell yea GO UK

  • Don't brag until you get him to sign. Even if you do get him, it doesn't mean a national championship. ROCKCHALK!!!

  • ku fans are so gay when they use that rockchalk bullshit.

    GO BIG BLUE!!!
