I didn’t see this posted yet. Nice write-up.

Kemba Walker Is Smiling as He Reads This

Now, Walker is a Celtic. Before this season, Walker’s highest-stakes games were at the University of Connecticut, where he played three seasons and provided countless highlights, particularly during a 2011 N.C.A.A. tournament run.

I imagine that exact commentary in Kemba's head every time he comes off a screen and he sees they switch on him...."got a mismatch"...drive...step back..."cardiac Kemba!!!"

Dude played terrible most of the game but you know if the game's close he's going to forget all that and just bury you. Absolute cold blooded assassin. I feel like there has to be some statistics to show end of game situations there's no one else in the game whose hands you'd rather have the ball in than Kemba.

edit: I get excited watching that video...I understand Steph, Lill, Lebron, etc still exist...I'm prone to hyperbole

Kemba seems to enjoy basketball.

Guess I'm a little jaded because I expect this from Kemba. Earlier this season, I can't remember whom it was against, his defender fell to the floor trying to cover the step back. And I still get a thrill every time I see him do it.

Next will be the stepback, wait for defender to collect himself, then blow-by

It is pretty amazing for anyone to be so mentally healthy. Wish he could pass it around to the rest of us. He truly deserves any good fortune that comes his way.

Defender’s head:
“Dont fall don’t fall don’t fall don’t fall. Crap I fell.”
