Wall likes “oysters”

Here is a good read from CNNSI.  It focuses on John Wall and Eric Bledsoe, and has its funny moments.  One of which is:

“Goofy,” Bledsoe says of Wall. Bledsoe says Wall occasionally speaks a language no one understands. Not long ago, some players paid a visit to a local chicken joint named Indi’s. Wall ordered “oysters.”

“You at a chicken spot,” he was told. “Ain’t no oysters here.”

Wall insisted that any decent chicken place in the South would offer a side of oysters. Turns out, what Wall wanted was okra. Wall plays a better game than he talks. Bledsoe and his teammates found this amusing. “They did have okra,” Bledsoe says, still laughing on Wednesday.

It goes on to talk about Beldsoe’s coach worrying about how the guard would find minutes at Kentucky.  It also has Bledsoe’s thoughts on the situation.

“I was tired of being The Guy,” he says. “I wanted to put myself with a bunch of other talented people. I want to win a championship and you can’t win it by yourself in college.” Being Robin to Batman is OK, then?

But the article also brings up South Carolina and Devan Downey  Just ignore that part.
