“Each jersey I’ve donned represented more than just victories and statistics. It was about embodying something greater,” he reflected in his retirement video.

Throughout his NBA tenure, he maintained averages of 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game.

While Wall has not represented Team USA in FIBA competitions, he did participate in the training camp prior to the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
