Washington Wizards star guard John Wall became the latest athlete to join the trend where they get students out of tests or get them perfect scores if they retweet a post on Twitter.
On Monday, the 26-year-old Kentucky product followed suit after seeing his team's official account retweet a student holding a sign saying her class will receive a perfect score on a math exam. He did just that and became the MVP for his fan's class.

Kobe Bryant started the trend when he retweeted a student to get out of a final exam. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers also did the same, and got a class off a sports lit final.
Hope you have an A in this class https://t.co/ABKeJSHPZc

I'm sure a sports lit final is very important, but here you go….#PayItForwardFriday https://t.co/Kj9pMwMDlT

The trend is starting to gain some steam now, and it remains to be seen which other athletes will also do the same. It may not be most popular trend for the teachers, as they did not expect it to be a hit among the players, but one thing that's certain is the sports stars have gained more fans now, and are much talked about inside the classrooms.
