Reporter: "Why do you shoot so many 3's?" -- Walker: "Because there are no 4's."
Antoine Walker was a hot mess. But he was our hot mess and I was a fan.
I don't really know how to put it any better than that. He was incredibly talented, supremely confident, given far too much leeway, and ultimately became the face of what was wrong with the 90's Celtics and perhaps basketball itself.
And yet, I loved Antoine Walker and still do.
To understand, you have to see where I was coming from.
