Wizards point guard John Wall told the Washington Post he considered himself to be the NBA's speediest player. After the team's 103-80 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday night, Wall made comparisons between Russell Westbrook's style of play and his own.

From the Washington Post report:

"I think we are both young, athletic, fast point guards," Wall said. "That’s very rare that you see that in this league. I’m trying to take the same steps that he took to become an all-star. I give a lot of credit to how he is working and how is helping his team win."

But when asked if he thought Westbrook was the fastest player in the league, Wall replied,

"No, I’m going to say myself….There’s a couple fast guys in this league. He’s up there, Derrick [Rose] is up there, when he’s healthy. Mike Conley’s pretty quick. It’s different guys. Ty Lawson’s quick. So there’s a lot of guys, but I put myself first. Just for fun."
