I am now a John Wall fan. Says a lot about his character. Breaks my heart watching it. _________________ "I don’t give a [expletive] what you say.

Finishing wiping the tears from my eyes. My daughters are six. John Wall is a man. Real men DO cry. So sorry for the girl, her family and friends and John Wall. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

My respect for him just went up 100x. And I already liked him before. |

Man, hope the best for the cute little girl's family.
I don't think I could function for years if anything like that ever happened to any little girl I care about.

Colin Cowherd used to bang on Wall relentlessly. The racial undertones was so blatant it was disgusting. I don't know if he still does since I stopped listening to that piece of (bleep) but he went after him for years.
Wall has turned into such a stud. It's not all in the stats either (which are still amazing). Tempo. Dude controls it. |

I don't know who the hell gave Colin Cowherd a job. He might know football but aside from that, he's a blithering idiot.
I liked Wall before, and after seeing this, I'm glad I liked him. Shows that I'm still a good judge of character. |

Thank you Mr Wall. You just made the world a better place.
I am hopeful someone will create a charity because of this story. Assists for Cancer??
RIP Little Angel. |

Always liked Wall.
Now I'll love him.
Sad that this type of thing happens every day, virtually (kids passing away). Don't know the sense behind it. Prayers with Miyah's parents |

John Wall has just reached baller status. I always liked his game, but I like his character now (not that i know anything else about it though) |

Beautiful, honest display of a heart doing what it was intended to: feel love, hurt, loss and compassion.
God bless John Wall for getting outside himself and, in so doing, allowing us to catch a glimpse of the depth within him. _________________ We back. |

I watched that game, very emotional. I rewound it and made my kids watch as well. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
