Kyrie Irving might not be fond of the Boston Celtics, but you’d have to think even he would appreciate the karmic justice of a star point guard simply stepping into his signature shoes the minute he left Boston behind.
In those shoes stands Kemba Walker, three-time All-Star, fresh off an All-NBA season. The natural inclination will be to label him the next Irving, the next Isaiah Thomas, but that’s not the case. Kemba is Kemba, and Kemba is awesome.
Walker has a whole host of outlier skills, but his game is predicated upon two in particular: pull-up shooting and momentum manipulation.
