1. John Wall<\/a>, Word of God (Raleigh, N. C.) 6-3 PG, 2009:<\/strong>
There can only be one at the top, and this North Carolina point guard edges Zion Williamson as the greatest overall mixtape legend in the Ballislife era. Why is that? Because there hasn't been a NBA level guard with Wall's combination of size, speed, athleticism, skill, and finishing ability since Ballislife and other companies started regularly filming high school games of the nation's best players in the mid 2000's. One of the reasons Wall edges Williamson is he is a guard, and fans just love when guards can get to the rim. It's similar to why a big guy has trouble winning dunk contests over talented smaller players. Basketball is a big man's game, but guards rule the mixtape industry because video-centric fans love the players with the ball in their hands. Second, it's a bit of timing, as Wall was before Williamson and his best mixtape (which was produced by Hoopmixtape) has stood the test of time as arguably the best single mix ever. In fact, if help give the mixtape industry credibility and made the genre that much more popular. The Wall mixtape will be hard to knock from its pedestal because of his explosive ability in the open court and rim-attacking. Another reason fans loved Wall is because his skill wasn't a gimmick or something fans thought wouldn't translate. It was easy to see his game translated to the next levels as he lived up to his billing as the top overall prospect in the 2009 class. Wall played one season at Kentucky, and his outgoing personality and exposure in Bluegrass Country made his mixtape even that much more popular. Wall went on to become the No. 1 pick of the 2010 NBA Draft and is now a five-time NBA All-Star. Even with all his NBA success, there are still plenty of fans who know him best for his mixtape prowesses and his role in taking a fledgling industry to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
