At this point, there’s no doubting what Kemba Walker is capable of on a basketball court.
The man owns practically every Charlotte Hornets record, after all. Most points, most 3-pointers, most free throws, most minutes ...
So when Walker exploded for 38 points Tuesday in a 125-116 overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs, including 10 in the extra period, it wasn’t necessarily shock or awe filling Spectrum Center. Fans, Walker’s teammates, they’ve seen this all before: tough layup, fadeaway jumper, spot-up 3-pointer. Kemba being Kemba.
What was different about Walker on Tuesday actually had nothing to do with his play.
