John Wall Joins Rare Playoff Elite—You Won’t Believe Which Stats Put Him There
Ever wonder what it takes to hang with Magic Johnson and John Stockton in basketball lore? Well, John Wall just slid into that exclusive club with a playoff assists average north of 9.0 per game—yes, you read that right. Sure, he never snagged that elusive Finals berth, but Wall’s relentless drive and uncanny court vision made him a maestro of the hardwood, a player’s player who wrangled defenses and set up teammates like few others. As his NBA journey wraps up, it’s clear his legacy isn’t about trophies but about the kind of unspoken respect earned by blazing paths and putting up numbers that turn heads — and stats that defy expectations. Let’s dive into why Wall’s postseason prowess deserves a serious nod, even if the spotlight never quite shone as brightly as we hoped.
John Wall’s career in the NBA has come to an end, and he leaves behind quite a legacy.
No, he never reached the Finals like he wanted, but he was a dogged competitor and someone who worked excellently with his teammates.
According to StatMuse, only three players have an average of over 9.0 assists in the playoffs.
Those players are Magic Johnson, John Stockton, and Wall.
“Elite company,” StatMuse said, and that is very true about the club Wall finds himself in.

Considering Johnson and Stockton are two of the best ball-handlers of all time, this is quite an accomplishment for Wall.
Wall appeared in the playoffs four times throughout his career, each with the Washington Wizards.
He averaged 21.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 9.8 assists during his postseason runs.
The problem for Wall and his Wizards is that they never got far enough in the playoffs.
Even with Wall leading the way, they struggled and consistently came up short.
Wall was hoping for more playoff success with new teams, but that wasn’t possible with either the Houston Rockets or the Los Angeles Clippers.
By the time his career came to an end, Wall wasn’t playing as frequently and wasn’t spending as many minutes on the floor.
But when he did, he showed that he could still find his teammates and create excellent passes.
Wall was a player’s player, someone who influenced and impacted many young stars who grew up watching him.
His stats show that he was a great teammate, capable ball-handler, and true menace in the playoffs.
