Johnathan Hildred Wall^[1] (born September 6, 1990 in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American basketball player for the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association. Wall was chosen first overall in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Wizards.

Wall committed to attend the University of Kentucky on May 19, 2009.^[2] Wall was properly introduced, like his teammates, to the Kentucky fanbase through the annual event Big Blue Madness. At this event, which had more attention to it than normally given due to the anticipated recruiting class, players were introduced with music one at a time at a raise platform high above the arena. This is when John Wall first performed what has come to be known as the "John Wall Dance" – turning his right arm in a biceps "flex", then rotating his hand out. This dance has taken on a life of its own through web viewings, photos of people doing the dance across the world, and more. He was suspended by the NCAA from Kentucky's first exhibition game and first regular season game, for travel benefits he received from his AAU coach, Brian Clifton, who was a certified agent at the time.^[3] In his first action as a Wildcat, in an exhibition game against Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Wall led his team with 27 points and 9 assists in 28 minutes of playing time.^[4]

• 11/17/09 – In his collegiate debut at Kentucky versus Miami University, Wall made the game winning shot with .5 seconds left on the clock to help then # 5 ranked Kentucky win. He finished with 19 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.

• 11/19/09 – In his 2nd career game, against Sam Houston State, Wall topped his debut performance with 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists in a 102–92 winning effort.

• 11/21/09 – In his 3rd career game, against Rider, Wall scored 21 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, 11 assists, and having only 2 turnovers.

• 11/24/09 – In his 5th career game, against Stanford, Wall scored a career high 23 points, hitting 2 free throws with 2.4 seconds left to send the game in to overtime.

• 12/05/09 – In his 7th career game Wall and the Wildcats faced one of their major rivals, North Carolina, who was ranked #10 at the time. Wall battled cramping throughout the game but was able to lead his team to victory despite the fact that they squandered a double digit lead in the second half, with the final score being 68–66. Wall contributed 16 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.

• 12/09/09 – In his first game in Madison Square Garden, against then-ranked #12 Connecticut, Wall scored a team-high 25 points, to go with 6 steals, and scored 12 of UK's last 15 points for a 64–61 victory, moving Kentucky to #3 on the AP polls.

• 12/12/09 – Against UK's rebuilding rival Indiana, Wall scored a career-low 11 points and turned the ball over once, while playing all but one minute of the game. This game marked the third time in Wall's 9-game career that he scored at least 10 points and had at least 8 assists, which leaves him 2 games away from tying a UK record, which was set by Wayne Turner.

• 12/29/09 – Against Hartford Wall set the UK single game assist record with 16, 11 in the 1st half, and only 1 turnover. The mark was previously held by Travis Ford, at 15, and was broken on Ford's 40th birthday. This is also the highest number of assists in one game recorded by any NCAA collegiate player this season as of 12/29/2009. Failed to break double digits in scoring (9 points) for the first time in his college career.

Because Wall was a fifth-year high school senior in 2009 and would turn 19 by the end of the year, some sources argued that he would be eligible for the 2009 NBA Draft. Draft rules stated that American players must turn 19 during the year of the draft, and must be a year removed from their regular high school class. NBA spokesman Tim Frank told sportswriter Chad Ford that the league was not sure if Wall met the second criterion, and that league officials would need to "do [their] due diligence to determine his eligibility".^[5] However, Wall announced in April 2009 that he was not entering the 2009 NBA Draft. Wall was expected to be the first player drafted in the 2009 NBA Draft before his first season at Kentucky.[6

Rookie season

On April 7, 2010, Wall announced that he would forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2010 NBA Draft, where he was expected to be the first overall selection for the Washington Wizards.^[7] On May 3, Wall signed with agent Dan Fegan.^[8]
On June 23, 2010, Reebok revealed Wall as its latest signing, casting him as the face of its latest basketball shoe, the ZigTech Slash.^[9] On June 24, 2010, Wall was drafted as the first overall pick by the Washington Wizards in the 2010 NBA Draft. On June 25, 2010, Mayor Adrian Fenty of Washington D.C. declared June 25 as John Wall Day on a plaque handed to John Wall during his Washington Wizards' presser.^[10] Wall was named the Most Outstanding Player at the 2010 Las Vegas Summer League.^[11]

SAINT-DENIS, France (AP)—France’s football misery only got worse Friday when it followed up its World Cup debacle with an embarrassing 1-0 loss at home to Belarus in their opening qualifier for the 2012 European Championship, with Sergei Kislyak scoring in the 86th minute to stun the Stade de France crowd.
With new coach Laurent Blanc taking over from Raymond Domenech, France was facing its home fans on Friday for the first time since its disastrous World Cup performance and struggled to create chances in front of a largely supportive crowd.
“It’s hard to be positive and to take something from a defeat when you thought you would win,” Blanc said. “Even if you like your team, they still have to win and take points. We didn’t do that tonight and we have to face up to that.”
They were caught cold when Vyacheslav Hleb skillfully weaved his way into the right of the penalty area and pulled the ball back for Kislyak, who beat goalkeeper Hugo Lloris with a powerful shot into the top right corner.
“When you don’t win a game you have to know how not to lose it. We wanted to take three points from this first game and we got none,” Blanc said. “We were clumsy and naive on the goal we conceded.”
Substitute Kevin Gameiro shot just over with the last kick as the French were jeered at the final whistle.
France went out of this year’s World Cup and the European Championship two years ago in the first round without winning a game. The French also lost their opening 2010 World Cup qualifier immediately after Euro 2008.
Although more popular than Domenech, Blanc is already under pressure heading into Tuesday’s match away to Bosnia.
“Bosnia is a very important game for us. This group will be close until the end,” Blanc said. “It is imperative that we pick up points there.”
Belarus coach Bernd Stange struggled to contain his joy, although he sympathized with Blanc—who also lost his first game in charge of France in a 2-1 away defeat to Norway in a friendly last month.
“It’s quite sensational what we did today. I don’t think you can say that we were lucky, we deserved to win,” Stange said. “But I feel for Laurent Blanc, because I know from my experience it is very difficult to build a national team in two weeks.”
After crashing out of the World Cup without winning a game, and shocking its fans and politicians by going on strike during a training session, France badly needed a win to boost morale.
“We know we have a lot of work to do and that we’re in a rebuilding phase, but it’s still annoying to lose,” France striker Loic Remy said. “We were a large favorite on paper, but there are no guarantees in football. We knew we were up against a team that likes to play on the counter attack and we fell into their trap.”
Chelsea winger Florent Malouda, who was chosen as France captain, had the ball in the net in the 63rd minute but his effort was ruled offside. Things then went from mediocre to poor for the French.
Louis Saha’s international comeback after four years out lasted about 10 minutes, limping off injured soon after coming on as a second-half substitute.
Saha, who kept clutching the back of his right knee, gestured to Blanc that he wanted to stay on but Gameiro replaced him.
Blanc had surprisingly picked Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila over Alou Diarra, his former captain at Bordeaux. Remy and Guillaume Hoarau started in attack.
In contrast to the jeers that always rang out when former coach Raymond Domenech’s name was announced over the stadium loud speaker, a huge cheer rang out from the 76,000 crowd when Blanc’s name was read out.
Blanc had feared the reception the players would receive following their World Cup debacle, but chants of “Allez, Les Bleus!” encouraged the players.
Blanc had also urged all his national players to sing the national anthem, even giving them sheets to learn the words.
They all did, with the exception of Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby, who was stern-faced as the crowd sang along loudly.
France started at a quick pace but could not maintain it as Belarus marked closely and shut down space. When Remy did manage to slip his marker in the 17th, he headed wide from Jeremy Menez’s corner.
Remy then came off in the 34th after taking a knock and was replaced by Marseille’s Mathieu Valbuena, who took Menez’s place on the right wing as the Roma forward moved inside to partner Hoarau.
Belarus frustrated the crowd by keeping possession well in the first half, with former Arsenal midfielder Aleksandr Hleb controlling the midfield against the inexperienced pairing of M’Vila and Diaby, who were playing for the first time together.
Malouda broke free and his shot from 25 yards tested goalkeeper Yuri Zhevnov, who palmed the ball away.
Valbuena then teed up Hoarau with a good chance in the 48th but, off balance, the PSG striker sent his shot well over.
Belarus should have taken the lead in the 52nd when Vitaly Rodionov shot wide of the right post.
Saha came on for Menez in the 69th and, as France began to find more space, Valbuena’s shot was well saved by Zhevnov.
But it was Belarus who showed the composure needed to finish off the game with a superbly worked goal.
“It’s an excellent start for Belarus, and it will be even better if we beat Romania on Tuesday,” Stange said.
France: Hugo Lloris; Bakary Sagna, Adil Rami, Philippe Mexes, Gael Clichy; Jeremy Menez (Louis Saha, 69; Kevin Gameiro, 80)), Yann M’Vila, Abou Diaby, Florent Malouda; Loic Remy (Mathieu Valbuena, 34), Guillaume Hoarau.
Belarus: Yuri Zhevnov; Aleksandr Kulchy, Aleksandr Martynovich, Aleksandr Yurevich, Yan Tigorev, Sergei Omelyanchuk, Vitaly Kutuzov (Sergei Kislyak, 75), Vitaly Rodionov (Sergei Kornilenko, 85), Vyacheslav Hleb, Aleksandr Hleb, Igor Shitov.

Bulutangkis.com - Kejutan terjadi di babak kedua Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series 2010. Unggulan kedua, Markis Kido/ Hendra Setiawan ditaklukan pasangan non unggulan asal Taipei, Fang Chieh Min/ Lee Sheng Mu 27-25, 16-21, 10-21.

''Kita banyak mati sendiri dan terburu-buru, terutama di set kedua,'' tutur Kido dalam jumpa pers usai pertandingan, Kamis malam (24/06/2010).

''Secara keseluruhan, kami kalah cepat. Mereka cepat sekali, mainnya kencang terus.''

Drive-drive tajam dari Fang/ Lee kerap membuat Kido/ Hendra pontang panting.

“Tipe permainan mereka mirip dengan gaya kami. Mereka banyak menggunakan drive-drive tajam dan itu menyulitkan kami” tambah Kido.

Sebelumnya, dalam kejuaraan Li Ning Singapore Open Super Series 2010 yang berlangsung pekan lalu, Kido/ Hendra juga takluk pada lawan yang sama pada babak semifinal. Fang/ Lee sendiri akhirnya menjadi juara setelah mengandaskan unggulan ke delapan asal Amerika Serikat, Howard Bach/ Tony Gunawan.

Prestasi terbaik Kido/ Hendra pada Super Series tahun ini memang baru mencapai babak semifinal, masing-masing di kejuaraan All England dan Li Ning Singapore Open Super Series. Bahkan di Swiss, Kido/ Hendra harus terhenti di babak pertama.

''Lawan-lawan kita sekarang lebih ketat, semua kekuatannya rata,'' kata Hendra. ''Kurangnya partner buat sparring juga berpengaruh kepada kami.''

Sejak tahun lalu, pasangan ganda putra peringkat 4 dunia itu memang tidak lagi menjadi penghuni pelatnas. (Melok R. Kinanthi)
