“Where do I even begin? Ten years is a long time to think back on. I came to D.C. as a skinny 19-year-old with big dreams and goals. You embraced me and my family with open arms. You rocked with me from day one until now,” the former Kentucky Wildcat said via Twitter early Thursday afternoon.

Wall leaves the District as the Wizards all-time leader in assists, and as the No. 4 all-time scoring leader.
