Video: John Wall leaps over five rows of NBA fans to save loose ball

That's getting up close to the stars

Gareth Makim

You know if you’re in the first couple of rows of an NBA game that you’re fair game for players diving for loose balls, but you’d think in row five you’d be OK

Well, think again.

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall, perhaps the fastest player and certainly one of the most athletic, ended up hurdling his way over several rows of fans as he pursued a ball headed for the sidelines as Washington hosted the Portland Trail Blazers last night.

Best of all, Wall saved the ball as the Wizards went on to win the game 105-97.
