John Wall just reached D.C. legend status. After keeping the Washington Wizards alive with a pull-up three to beat the Boston Celtics in Game 6, he took issue with the Celts wearing all black to the game Friday.
"I ain't going home," he told ESPN/ABC's Lisa Salters. "Don't come to my city wearing all black talking about it's a funeral."
To be fair, the Wizards began the all-black attire skit in a game between the two heated rivals in January. Now they're headed for a winner-takes-all Game 7 on Monday night.
