Kemba Walker knows. Michael Jordan knows. But they both still need a second.
Somewhere along the way to that exquisite 21-point fourth quarter Monday, Kemba Walker had to let it all out:
“This is my city. That’s a (expletive) bet!” he screamed during a stoppage of play in the Charlotte Hornets’ 117-112 victory over the Boston Celtics.
What more can he say at this point? What more can he do to back it up? In the past two games Walker has compiled 103 points on 35-of-59 shooting. He is the NBA’s scoring leader at 29.6 points per game. He is playing at a level where hearing an “MVP” chant in the fourth quarter didn’t feel contrived.
He knows you love him, Charlotte. And he loves you back.
