    PHILLY — In this interview, Washington Wizards guard John Wall talks about why he decided to restart the Reebok Breakout Challenge and his own experiences coming up.

    Wall was a virtual unknown in 2007 when he drove 18 hours to Chicago from Raleigh, N.C. to participate in a Reebok Breakout camp.

    After being chosen for the Reebok All-American Camp here in Philly, his name — and game — exploded that summer.

    After a year at Kentucky, he became the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
