It has been fun to watch Kemba Walker climb the ranks of the NBA’s elite point guards over the last eight seasons. Of course, Husky fans and college hoops junkies have always had a special appreciation for Kemba given his well-documented exploits at UConn.
In the NBA, Kemba’s rise was gradual and, to some, unexpected. This year, he received the elusive All-NBA nod, despite shouldering the load for a middle-of-the-road Charlotte Hornets squad.
Walker was selected for the All-NBA Third-Team for the 2018-2019 season, joining Russell Westbrook, Rudy Gobert, Blake Griffin, and someone named LeBron James as third-teamers.
