I think this headline goes well with the base of the story. It basically describes how young rookie john wall is becoming the go to guy instead of the one face of the Wizards Gilbert Arenas. Wall is now who is depended upon and is looked at to get the team out of a jam. The lead was writen as a who lead. It was written basically telling how Gilbert is bocoming just a speaker on the Washington Wizards. not really anything more then just a face attached to the franchise. Sources that were used were the coaches of both the wizards and the knicks. Both coaches gave wall praise on what a great job he's doing and how he compliments the league. Another source that I feel can have been used is Walls opinion on the actions of he teammate and what he feels the older leader should do in order to benifite the team so they all can prosper. Something else that could have been added was Arenas's feelings on the young players praise. This is news worthy because it expresses feelings about once great players in the NBA and new rising ones.
The reason that I chose this article is because I also feel the wall is an extrodinary player. I think that he is getting the recognition that he desurves but i also feel that Arenas made the wizards name what it has grown to be known as. He played a big role in getting the team to where it has been and for the team and media to try to push him to the side isnt correct. I think they should take heed and think about the situation as a whole and pay homage to Gilbert and give him thanks even though he has done a little wrong.
