John Wall Breaks Down In Post-Game Interview After Little Girl He Befriended Passed Away

John Wall broke down in a post-game interview discussing the recent passing of a six-year-old girl he befriend last year.

Last March, John Wall met and became friends with Miyah Telemaque-Nelson, a six-year-old girl with Burkitt's Lymphoma. After a post about Miyah popped up on his facebook feed he got to know her and her family, kept in touch with Miyah via Facetime, and helped her meet Nick Minaj. Miyah passed away this morning and Wall was incredibly emotional after the Wizards' double overtime win and broke down in tears as he spoke about Miyah at the end of this very brief post-game interview.
