John Wall is ridiculously athletic, and he demonstrates it in this incredible sequence and finish.
Washington Wizards point guard John Wall is one of the most dangerous players in the NBA in the open floor, and the 360 dunk he threw down against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night serves as evidence of that fact.
What's more impressive than the high-flying throw down itself is the ease with which he got free of the Lakers' attempt at transition defense.
Speaking of defense, neither team is playing much of it in this game. Maybe that's not such a bad thing if it yields more of this.

John Wall, Washington Wizards. No Bradley Beal so they need big games from him and they got it Tuesday in a win over a Lakers team that had been playing good defense — Wall had 31 points on 18 shots, plus 9 assists. More importantly, he had 13 points in final 4:30 of game, including seven straight at one point. However, Wall really gets the high grade because this is three straight games with 30 or more points (the last two are Washington wins).
------------------
The NBA announced on Monday that Wall has been named Eastern Conference player of the week after averaging 24.3 points, 8.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 steals and leading the Wizards to a 3-1 record. He also shot 36 of 72 (50 percent) from the field and 22 of 25 (88 percent) from the foul line.
Wall had back-to-back double doubles, then posted back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in his career to win the award for the second time in career.
