Ten-year-old Jordan Reid spotted John Wall and didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Wall's waist to give him a hug. Reid then latched himself to Wall's hip, walking side-by-side with his favorite basketball player down the court at Madison Square Garden. He told Wall how much he enjoyed Wall's left-handed dunk against Indiana; how he remembers watching Wall dominate Connecticut in this arena last December; how the walls in his bedroom are covered with pictures and magazine covers of the former Kentucky point guard Wall, 19, could only chuckle as the kid rattled off Wall's statistics and career highlights, as if they were news to Wall.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter's Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
