He may have never played for them but former NBA player Stephen Jackson showed his support for John Wall during the Washington Wizards‘ 121-102 Game 4 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Jackson attended the game and wore Wall's jersey.

So why was Jackson there? He's a big fan of the Wizards and wished he was part of their team.
From CSN Mid-Atlantic:
“I wish I was playing for them,” he told CSN. “They play with that edge. They've got guys on the team that play for each other and you don't have that a lot in the NBA.”
Jackson attended an entertaining game as the Wizards went on a 26-0 run in the third quarter, which allowed them to win and tie the series up 2-2.
