Kemba Walker Passes Dell Curry to Become Hornets Career Scoring Leader

Kemba Walker passed Dell Curry to become the all-time leading scorer in Hornets history Wednesday.

The No. 9 pick from the 2011 draft entered Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers 19 points behind Curry for the franchise record.

Walker tied Curry with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter when he hit a three-pointer to make them equal at 9,839 points scored for Charlotte. Then, Walker came down on the next possession and and muscled his way to the rim to put in a reverse layup for the record.

Walker was initially drafted as a Bobcat, but all of his career stats during the three years he was a Bobcat transferred over to the Hornets' record books when the team changed its name.
