Lawson's second season saw him average 17 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds while leading Washington back to the playoffs but they were once again knocked out in six games by eventual champion Miami Heat.

Who featured Lebron James along with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade - all future Hall of Famers at that point in their careers (Wade would eventually be traded away from Miami for Kevin Love which further disrupted what could have been one of NBA history's most dominant dynasties).

Wall went on eclipse Lawson as both player & leader of this team over the next few seasons culminating in two more conference finals appearances (where they lost again) before finally winning.

The Stanley Cup after four long years in 2018 - largely due to John Wall becoming perhaps one of best PGs ever alongside him.
