Only 34 years old! Wall announces his retirement, and the Rockets sends his blessings
4:51pm, 20 August 2025【Basketball】
According to famous reporter Shams today, John Wall announced his retirement. As the No. 1 pick in 2010, Wall retired at the age of 34, which is also a pity. Because you look at James Harden, look at Paul's defenders. Especially when Paul can continue to play at the age of 40, he is still the target of major teams. If it weren't for the Qingyou who wanted to retire from the Clippers, Paul would even continue to earn an annual salary of 10 million in other teams.
When he was the same age as Wall, Paul took away a four-year, 160 million maximum salary contract from the Rockets. Then at the age of 36, he continued to earn an annual salary of 40 million yuan in the Suns. In contrast, Wall has not been doing well in recent years. The Wizard is his peak, but he is unable to return to his peak after suffering a major injury. Especially slipping in the bathroom and rupturing the already injured Achilles tendon, which is even more devastating. When joining the Rockets, Wall and Paul have different fates.
Paul set a record of 65 wins in the league with Harden and fought with Universe 7 games, and the Light Bulb combination was one game away from entering the finals. It is one step away from the championship. But Wall is at the Rockets' level, and he and Harden also have conflicts. In the 20-year offseason, Harden and Westbrook reached the idea of leaving the team together. Westbrook left first, and the Rockets exchanged him for Wall. But after Wall joined the Rockets, he was dissatisfied with Harden even though he knew that Harden wanted to leave.
The reason is that Wall Shou was dissatisfied with Harden's failure to pick him up, and he thought the two were brothers. Then after joining the Rockets, Wall was dissatisfied with Harden's desire to leave the Rockets, thinking that it was a despise of his strength, and the two broke up. After Harden was traded to the Nets, Wall and Cousins publicly mocked Harden and regarded themselves as the Rockets' face. It is true that the Rockets had a short-term victory, but they immediately returned to their original shape after the momentum. The Rockets simply played the same trick. The next year, the Rockets decided to hide Wall and give the time to the young people.
This is also why Wall has spitted the Rockets in the offseason of the past three seasons. He never blamed himself for sending himself to the Rockets' Wizards' management, but instead gave his anger to the Rockets. It is a mistake to think that the Rockets don't let him play back to back. But Wall's current situation has proved that the Rockets are right. His strength has declined seriously and has completely failed to reach the NBA level. Harden's refusal to join forces with Wall was also the right decision.
, and the Rockets are very large, and they are sarcastic by Wall several times. The Rockets still sent blessings to him. After Wall announced his retirement, the Rockets' reporter Lachard Binkley immediately praised Wall on social media. He wrote: "Houston Rockets legend John Wall has retired." The Rockets' behavior does show that it is different from the Mo X era in the past, and Stone is full of humanity.
It is worth mentioning that Wall was bought out twice by the Rockets. The first time Wall was dissatisfied with the Rockets not giving time, so Stone bought out directly with him, which was considered to meet his requirements. The second time was that the Clippers were sent back to the Rockets because their strength could not meet the requirements. In February 23, the Clippers sent Wall back to the Rockets, and the team bought him out again. In 40 games played for the Rockets, Wall averaged 20.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only 40.4%. Now that Wall has no ball to play and announces his retirement, it’s no wonder that others are, he is only himself. In the latest recent photos of Wall, he has gained weight seriously.
