John Wall was serious the whole time. He had a face like shut up and get ready.

Clear to see the gold medalist was sizing John up.. Not his full spped.

You can be the fastest man in the NBA but you will not get on a track with an Olympic gold medalist and win

Aries merritt is on another level of fast. basketball fast is different. its more about quickness in basketball because your only going soo far. accelerating and maintaining your speed is a different story. Aries makes it look soo easy.

"Coming up next, John Wall plays 18 holes with Tiger Woods, has a home run contest with Prince Fielder, and battles Lewis Hamilton in matching cars."

As a track & field athlete myself, you have to give much respect to John Wall. In this age of prima donnas, many elite athletes like John Wall would never swallow their pride enough to even attempt such an arduous task as racing an Olympic sprinter. Again, much respect to John Wall!
