Another player you can add to that list is John Wall, who officially announced his retirement from basketball and the NBA on Tuesday. Wall was incredible on his own, but anytime you think of prime John Wall, you probably think about how good a duo he and Bradley Beal were as teammates with the Wizards.

Bradley Beal reacts to John Wall's retirement, reflecting on their time with the Washington Wizards and end of their iconic backcourt era.

Washington selected Wall at No. 1 overall in 2010 after he spent one season with the Kentucky Wildcats. He was part of head coach John Calipari's first recruiting class in 2009. The five-time NBA All-Star's last action in the league came during the 2022-23 campaign when he appeared in 34 games for the LA Clippers.
