John Wall explains why he wasn't at the ESPYs to receive his award

Posted by stewie (aka whysoserious) Jul 15 '10, 15:37

"Basically I don't want to miss practice or anything like that, feel like I'm bigger than anybody," Wall said Wednesday afternoon. "The ESPYs were a great chance, I would love to be there, but there's more time down the future to get there. Right now I'm a rookie, so I need to be with my teammates, trying to get better every chance that I can. If I would have left, then they maybe would have looked where I was or I asked where I was. It wouldn't have been the right place and the right situation. So I told the ESPN people thanks for the nominations, and thank God, but I had this and this is more important. This is my job. That comes secondary to what I'm trying to do."

    - I think it wouldn't have been so odd if he'd given any indication he was that dumb before. -- nm - TFox Jul 15, 16:02 1
