[NBA] 2010 No. 1 pick Wall announced his retirement

August 19, 2010 NBA No. 1 pick John Wall announced his retirement from professional basketball and ended his career.

Wall was selected by the Wizards in the first pick in 2010. He has played for the Wizards, Rockets and Clippers in his career, and has played in a total of 11 seasons. During the NBA season in the 11 season, Wall averaged 18.7 points, 8.9 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. During this period, he was selected as the All-Star five times, one for the All-Series Team of the Year second team, and one for the All-Series Team of the Year second team. In the 2018-2019 season, Wall suffered a torn left Achilles tendon and was reimbursed for the season. After a season-and-a-half rest, Wall was traded to the Rockets by the Wizards in exchange for Russell Westbrook in the 2020-2021 season. After his comeback, Wall's Athletics' form declined sharply. On June 29, 2022, Wall officially reached a contract buyout agreement with the Rockets, becoming an unrestricted free agent. After that, Wall gradually faded out of the league.

After Wall announced his retirement, the Wizards' official account updated the updates and sent blessings. The Wizards said that Wall is one of the great legends in the Wizards' history and a symbol of an era.

Although Wall has not led the team to achieve brilliant achievements, his retirement does symbolize the end of an era - after Wall announced his retirement, Paul George, who currently only ranked 10th in the first round of the NBA in 2010, is still in the league; Ross, No. 1 pick in 2008, No. 1 pick in 2009, No. 1 pick in 2010, and No. 1 pick in 2010, No. 1 pick in the NBA for three consecutive years, has been selected into the All-Stars many times in their respective careers, and has fallen rapidly due to devastating injuries at its peak.
