John Wall Complains About Not Getting The Same Calls As LeBron James

John Wall had just come back from a week-long injury absence and erupted for 28 points, 14 assists, four rebounds and three steals in his third game back, against the Cleveland Cavaliers this past Thursday.

Wall was the best player in the game, until the Wizards blew a 17-point lead with under eight minutes left in the fourth, when LeBron James took over. The Cavaliers ended up winning the game.

After the game, Wall complained about not getting the same calls as LeBron James:

“It’s kinda tough, because I try to do the same thing as LeBron, but when I turn the corner and get downhill I don’t get those same calls when people put hands on me or contact with me.”

“I already knew the play before that when I drove on LeBron I wasn’t gonna get a call. So why even put myself in that position? Same thing happened with Jeff Green. I knew they wasn’t gonna give me a call, so I tried to find a teammate for a wide-open shot. Just give that guy credit for making a great defensive stop.”
