John Wall and Sports Science



Do the John Wall!


ESPN has a new feature called "Sports Science" where it examines unique strengths of extraordinary athletes. The one feautred recently is John Wall out of Kentucky, likely to be the the #1 pick by the Washington Wizards. The video claims that Wall is faster than point guards like Deron Williams and Chris Paul and has a vertical higher than Kobe Bryant. Wall also shows his court vision in an exercise although it would be interesting to see how well other point guards could complete a similar challenge. Of course, sports science doesn't bring the light of John Wall's biggest weakness, a consistent jumper, which he has been practicing all summer long.

Here is a link to the video.
