John Wall: 'People don't think I've proved anything in the NBA'

Wall: 'People don't think I've proved anything'

John Wall has said that he has done "nothing" to prove himself to fans in the NBA.

The Washington Wizards point guard was the first overall pick in the 2010 Draft, and will make his All-Star debut later this week.

The 23-year-old told CSN Washington: "I think they still still see me as a skinny kid from Kentucky that got drafted number one, that hasn't done nothing or proven nothing in this league. I think just making this first All-Star game still doesn't get me a nod.

"I think I respect the coaches and those guys that give me the the credit for seeing I worked on my game and I'm getting better. But until I make it to the playoffs and win a series and keep improving, I haven't done nothing in this league."

Wall has averaged 19.8 points per game this season.
