That SOB called JJ Barea a "midget". that is not very nice.


The Washington Wizards' strange season continued on Monday night.

They had yet another uninspiring, confounding loss, falling by 23 points to the lowly Mavericks. They continue to play to the level of their competition: It was the second time in three games that they've been crushed by a team well under .500.

Normally, such a loss would be the only problem of the night for the Wizards. But on this night, they have another controversy on their hands. That's because John Wall decided to call J.J. Barea a "midget."

The two had a little confrontation during the fourth quarter, and when asked about it afterword, Wall downplayed the incident. "It was cool to me, it was funny. Just a little midget trying to get mad," Wall said. "So I paid him no mind."

Not a big deal.

I’m obviously just judging from watching on TV but John Wall does seem kind of like a jerk. I wouldn’t be surprised if his teammates didn’t love him.

So, I have a personal John Wall experience that could shed some light on why he comes off like a jerk sometimes.

Years ago, I was working a 5 star basketball camp that Wall attended shortly after jumping to #1 on the Rivals top 100 list. Every player at the camp stayed in the dorms, except Wall. He stayed in a nearby hotel with one of his AAU coaches.

Every morning, Wall would arrive about an hour into morning stations where everyone else was working. He would slowly walk across the gym wearing his slides and sit in a chair while his "coach", a grown man, would put Wall's shoes on his feet and tie them for him.

I have never seen a 17 year old so ridiculously coddled.

That said, I also have a couple acquaintances who know Wall personally and they say he is a decent guy. I guess it just depends on when you catch him.

What's not a big deal? Walls comments or Barea's response?
Yeah I just read Barea's response. Completely irrelevant in my opinion. I mean how does Barea know that Wall's teammates don't like him?

Yeah, John Wall was way out of line calling Barea a midget.

Pretty sure we're supposed to call them "Little People" now.

Pretty clever comeback by Barea, IMO, considering that the Wizards just had a failure of a team meeting, a meeting where Wall was presumably one of the leaders.

Since when is being 6'0" a "midget"?

Everything is relative. In the NBA...6'0" = midget.

Meh. I guess that shows that John Wall is clueless of anything beyond an NBA locker room, if nothing else

Allen Iverson was also listed at 6'0", but I don't believe it.

This describes practically 75% of the lotto picks the past what 10-15 years?

Which is why the NBA sucks compared to what it was back in the day. Bunch of prima Donna Terrell Owens crybabies on the court today. It's way more a prima Donna league than a thug league. Which is funny actually

And for the record I like JJ, but a midget is short. JJ knows this

Those are the facts. If JJ called JW an ogre because he's tall... BFD

JJ has plenty of respect -- any man that short in the NBA has to have some skills
