Wizards guard John Wall had a lot to say on "Ballislife" this week, but it's really hard to pick out the one thing he said that would make waves because he said at least three things that will get people talking.
"I'm the best two-way point guard player in the league," he said.
He has an argument. Among the best point guards in the NBA, Wall had a better defensive efficiency rating than Russell Westbrook, a better offensive rating than Damian Lillard and a very consistent efficiency rate year to year. After that it's a matter of opinion. He is great on both ends of the floor and he knows it.
A lot of that comes from his confidence, and he's definitely not lacking any of that.
Wall was working out with LeBron James during the "Ballislife" interview, and he said he wanted to beat James every time he was out on the court with him.
"Every time I'm working with anybody like him, Kevin Durant, whatever, I want to do better than them because whenever I step on the court, I feel like I'm the best player no matter who you are," he said. "That's just my mindset."
He went on to say he is one of the best players in the league, but he got specific as well.
"Top 10 best player in the league," he said. "I go top 10 right now, I think you got Russ (Westbrook) … I'm just keeping it real, you got Russ, K.D., Bron, Kawhi (Leonard), Steph (Curry). I say top 10, I didn't say where in the top 10, but it's top 10."
