John Wall announced on Wednesday that he would be retiring from the game of basketball after a spectacular career at Kentucky and then in the NBA.
While he may no longer be playing the sport, that doesn’t mean he will be done being involved with the sport. On Wednesday, it was announced that Wall will be an NBA studio analyst for Amazon Prime during the 2025-26 season.
He will reportedly be a part of the studio coverage, joining other former NBA stars such as Blake Griffin and Dirk Nowitzki.
Wall’s athleticism and personality instantly made him a fan favorite as soon as he stepped foot on campus at Kentucky in 2010. In his lone season in Lexington, he averaged 16.6 PPG, 6.5 APG and 4.3 RPG. He helped lead the Wildcats to an impressive 34-3 season, making it to the Elite Eight before losing to West Virginia.
That campaign led him to being the No. 1 player drafted in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards.
During his time in the NBA, he was a 5-time All Star, and he teamed up with Bradley Beal to form one of the most dynamic backcourts in the NBA for years. He finished his career with 18.7 PPG and 8.9 APG.
