Washington Wizards' John Wall Breaks Down After Dedicating Win To 6-Year-Old Who Died From Cancer
Washington Wizards point guard John
Wall got emotional after a 133-132
double-overtime victory against the
Boston Celtics.
In a postgame interview, Wall, who
finished with 26 points and 17 assists,
dedicated the game to 6-year-old
cancer patient Miyah Telemaque-Nelson,
who died Monday morning after battling
Burkitt's lymphoma. Telemaque-Nelson
was a fan of Wall's, and Wall helped her
meet Nicki Minaj.
In the postgame interview, Wall said:
"It's just tough, man, to see a little kid
fight so hard for cancer and can't beat
it. This game's for her, my jersey, my
shorts, I'm gonna give it to her family.
It's a tough day for me. I really cried
today, so ..."
Wall trailed off, welling up with tears,
and then broke down:
