The striking similarities between the John Wall era and the Gilbert Arenas era for the Wizards

On the surface, it doesn't look like Gilbert Arenas and John Wall have much in common, other than being star point guards who led the Wizards to the playoffs. They play different styles, wear different uniforms, and played under different owners. But when you take a deeper look, you start to see that they've dealt with a lot of the same experiences during their times as the franchise player in Washington.
