John Wall hasn’t been retired from the NBA for very long. But as the Washington Wizards’ career leader in assists and the centerpiece behind Washington’s exciting playoff runs in the 2010s, there is speculation
about whether his No. 2 jersey should be retired.
On FanDuel TV’s Run It Back show, which is hosted by Michelle Beadle and former NBA players Chandler Parson, Lou Williams and DeMarcus Cousins, Beadle speculated to Wall himself about whether the five-time NBA All-Star would like to see his number retired. Wall acknowledged that he would like to see it happen.
Williams also agreed, saying that “we in the streets if they don’t do it in two years” as a sign of support.
Currently, the Wizards’ retired numbers are No. 10 for Earl Monroe, No. 11 for Elvin Hayes, No. 25 for Gus Johnson, No. 41 for Wes Unseld and No. 45 for Phil Chenier. The NBA retired No. 6 for Bill Russell across all league teams.
