I suspected this when I watched the game and they acted like John was just another guy but this now confirms it. Just sad they didn’t do anything on the broadcast to celebrate so many fans’ favorite player ever.
The reasoning in the article was given as “Our instruction to talent is to play the ball where it lies. Our fans are smart, and they get it. We don’t need gratuitous comments on either side of the ledger,” by Zach Leonsis. Makes no sense to me to apply this principle to someone like John Wall.
To me Zach’s legacy is firing the best commenting duo we’ve had in franchise history. Fucking up the sound system in the arena to where if you sit in the lower bowl it just sounds like a distorted mess.
And as far as the luxury spaces and whatnot it feels like he’s trying to turn a Wednesday night at a wizards game into a Friday night at the club. I am sure a ton of people actually appreciate that, but I find it kinda weird.
He’s a fucking brat.
