Hot discussion about the number one pick Wall personally announced his retirement! Bill Downs sends blessings. The Wizards official praises: The Eternal Legend

On August 20, 34-year-old NBA No. 1 pick John Wall officially retired, and wrote in his retirement statement: Retired but never stopped, continue to move forward in Wall's way.

John Wall was the No. 1 pick in 2010. He officially announced his retirement at the age of 34. His last game in his NBA career was on January 14, 2023. The Clippers, who he played for, lost to the Nuggets 103-115. At that time, Wall played for 29 minutes and 22 seconds, made 6 of 12 shots, made 2 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. After Wall retired, Paul George was the only player in the 2010 draft, and the first 10-year No. 1 pick in this century was only 2003 No. 1 pick left. James was still in the NBA.

Wall's retirement has caused heated discussion. He is the assist king and steal king in the history of the Wizards, and the fourth in the history of the total team. The Wizards official posted posters to send blessings and wrote: One of the best team history! He defined an era, a legend forever, a wizard forever. John Wall, congratulations to your retirement.
