It's official! Wall has joined the Clippers and officially retired from the NBA.

Amazon's Prime Video has confirmed that Wall will take on the role of a game analyst on their platform starting this season, providing insights into the matches and strategies of both teams.

Last year, ESPN, NBC, and Amazon signed an 11-year broadcasting deal with the NBA worth up to $76 billion, with these three companies set to broadcast NBA games from the 2025-26 season through to the end of the 2035-36 season.

Wow, that was really fast.

Wall announced his retirement and immediately landed a new job, achieving a seamless transition from player to commentator.

This guy was the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, is about to turn 35, and has had a 13-year NBA career. At his peak, he was considered the top point guard in the Eastern Conference, playing for the Wizards, Rockets, and Clippers (his last team in the 2022-23 season). His best season was 2016-17, averaging 23.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 2 steals per game in the regular season, and 27.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 blocks in the playoffs.

Throughout his NBA career, Wall earned several honors including one All-NBA Third Team selection, one NBA All-Defensive Second Team, one All-Rookie First Team, five All-Star appearances, an NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest title, and an All-Star Rookie Challenge MVP, among others.

Most impressive is Wall’s earning power; over 13 years in the NBA, he has made a total of $276 million in salary. Had it not been for his series of serious injuries starting in 2019 that derailed his career, his income could have potentially doubled.

With Wall’s retirement, Paul George (the 10th pick in the first round) is now the last active NBA player from the 2010 draft class. His earning ability is even more remarkable, having made a total of $519 million in NBA salary so far, including a four-year max contract worth $212 million signed last summer at age 34 with Philadelphia.

George’s current contract runs through the summer of 2028, with annual salaries of $51.67 million, $54.13 million, and $56.59 million over the next three seasons. Last season, he played only 41 regular-season games, averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, shooting 43%, 35.8%, and 81.4% from the field, three-point line, and free-throw line respectively.

It’s not that George is vastly superior to Wall, but he benefits from a longer career and better physical condition, which naturally results in greater rewards!
