Instead it was his memorable \u2018Dougie\u2019 dance entrance that went down as an iconic moment in Wizards history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/slamonline\/status\/1054401457947062272?s=46&#038;t=lv7wq79Lc_KqF0UWrAfL5Q\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that John Wall has a new home with the L.A. Clippers, he brought back his signature dance moves for the Los Angeles crowd and teammates. The clip quickly went viral and it\u2019s safe to say it put a smile on the face of basketball fans everywhere because the popularity of Wall\u2019s entrance extended beyond Wizards fans. Even Kawhi Leonard, who rarely cracks a smile, couldn\u2019t help but share in the laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/sportscenter\/status\/1578211767351640065?s=46&#038;t=lv7wq79Lc_KqF0UWrAfL5Q\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since his <a href=\"https:\/\/dbltakesports.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/03\/wizards-john-wall-era-comes-to-abrupt-end\/\">shocking trade<\/a> from the Wizards in 2020, Wall made an unsuccessful stop with the Houston Rockets before arriving in L.A. No matter where he resides, he will always be near and dear to the hearts of Wizards fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He left Washington as the franchise\u2019s all-time leader in assists and steals. He also averaged 8.9 points, 9.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 541 games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the height of his career, the five-time All-Star was named to the All-NBA Third Team in 2016-17 and won the NBA Cares Community Assist Award in 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides his success on the court, Wall was committed to the D.C. community through his annual Back-to-School event, Thanksgiving Assist, and the rent assistance program he launched during the pandemic to support low-income families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wall\u2019s absence still leaves a void in Washington but with his recent admission about <a href=\"https:\/\/signature.theplayerstribune.com\/john-wall-nba-basketball-los-angeles-clippers\">overcoming depression<\/a>, it is a breath of fresh air to see him display some happiness in his new situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Wall instantly became the talk of the NBA when he broke out into &#8216;The Dougie&#8217; during his Wizards debut.
