John Wall served as a guest Special Olympics referee while Marcin Gortat handled introductions

This is fantastic!

For the fifth straight year, John Wall and the Wizards took part in the Special Olympics Unified Game in Washington, D.C. The game is to help raise awareness for their "Spread the Word to End the Word" Day. Wall was a referee in the game while Marcin Gortat took over the player intros. Some of the Harlem Globetrotters even paid a visit for this fun and important night in Washington, D.C.

It’s great to see the relationship between the Wizards and D.C. Special Olympics Unified Basketball.
