Don’t worry folks, everything is fine here! It was about to be a problem, but the fellas handled it like grown men and worked it out (even shared on Twitter). So what exactly happened between John Wall and Roy Hibbert that had people talking?! Find out after the jump…
Via Kurt Helin at PBT:
John Wall has been attacking the rim, knocking down jumpers and generally looking like the player the Wizards were hoping to get when they drafted his as the No. 1 pick.
He played like that leading the Wizards over the Pacres Saturday then after the game said their plan was to go right at Roy Hibbert and the Pacers front line, as reported by NBA.com.
“Just coming out, we talked about it before the game that their bigs were playing soft. My bigs did a great job setting screens. I came out focused tonight and I was able to knock down shots right away.”
Hibbert did not like being called soft. So he fired back, as reported on the Pacers official blog.
“[Washington] went out there and they played hard. John Wall was determined to get around our “soft” bigs, I guess,” he said. “You have to tip your hat off to those guys. They’re changing their season around before they go fishing.
“[Wall] can say what he wants to say. He’s entitled to it. He’s a good player. We have a chance to compete for a championship. They have a chance to compete for the No.1 pick.”
