Wall being roasted about infamous headshot: 'It looks like I just got to jail'
The internet hasn't been kind while responding to an awkward headshot of John Wall taken at this week's USA Basketball minicamp. The Washington Wizards' star guard appears sweaty, hairy, and generally discombobulated.
In fact, the mockery came with such overwhelming vigor that the USA Basketball Twitter account deleted the tweet. But at that point, the damage had clearly been done.

Wall hasn't been online to witness the reaction to the photo, though when asked by Bleacher Report's Yaron Weitzman, the 27-year-old said he's sent it to family members.
"I sent it to my mom and said it looks like I just got to jail," said Wall.
Here's a sampling of the responses to Wall's now-infamous headshot:

It turns out that old saying about things staying in Vegas is only true if you don't plaster the evidence all over social media.
