GONE And FORGOTTEN: The Best Player Not In The NBA! What Happened To Kemba Walker? Stunted Growth

[@gabysdyan143]

Dallas just signed him! Welcome back to NBA Kemba! Hope he fulfills a role and make a good fit.🙏🙏

[@MangUjhang]

Really happy with this sign by Dallas

[@EnZo7992]

If he hits open 3’s and manages to have a pulse on defense he’ll have no problem cracking the rotation.

[@vk3638]

@@EnZo7992 tbh Dallas just needs better scorers, Luka is not enough

[@marreese8405]

Where is he

[@ajtaylor8750]

His game-winning shot in MSG as a part of the Connecticut Huskies will forever be my favorite Kemba Walker highlight. He was definitely meant to be the next guy in the league, but seeing him not even in the league is criminal.

[@FlowboyVegas1]

Thats literally everyones favorite highlight of him its not hard

[@ry_an.]

He just doesn’t have a role. His job was to score the ball. He cannot defend, play make or even score (lack of burst due to injury) at an elite level and at 5’11 he is almost useless

[@JKirv]

Shout out shabazz napier

[@jayballa1121]

Facts bro

[@Ontiming2023]

Kenna is really good for his size idk how he does it he’s shorter than Iverson he’s not 6”0 but he finds a way to score 18 plus a game that says everything about him 18 plus for his career an your under 6”0 means your really good

[@CornellHaley22]

I remember meeting him in person his second year in the league at a charity event. Real humble dude. Hopefully he finds his way back

[@XabzintheNBAGuru]

Nice, how tall is he fTF

[@C280S]

I dont think Kembas growth was stunted at all. Man had a career most ball players would dream of. All time points leader for the Hornets, got a max contract, multiple time all star. Id call that a success story

[@calebdouglas7622]

I was thrilled when he finally became an all star. His growth took a while but when he honed his skills he was lethal.

[@Trainingwithjwat]

please never stop making these videos, you’ve taught me so much about players I’ve never heard of, and provide amazing insight and reason as to why their careers were stunted. much love

[@Trainingwithjwat]

ofc I know who Kemba Walker is but yk what I mean lol

[@CaliKidd1001]

This mf be in accurate a lot though

[@anbs1682]

His game was spectacularly efficient and he moved effortlessly.

[@CM-ft9ep]

Loved having him on the Celtics. After the drama with Kyrie the year before, the team, especially the young stars Tatum and Brown, really relished Kemba's attitude. The story went that he brought the whole Celtics team to his house in NYC for Thanksgiving his first year there and it created a great vibe for the rest of the season.

[@misterdrummings]

As a long time UConn fan, Kemba will always have a place near and dear to my heart, and I hope a team sees the value he can bring and signs him. That said, with his superior knowledge of the game, his great attitude, and track record as an overcomer and winner, I have a feeling he would make an excellent coach one day should he decide to go in that direction.

[@Libturd]

His peak didnt last long at all, but he has my respect. His prime in Celtics/Hornets was special

[@Mi11ionaireMindset]

I would love to see an update on Billy Preston. Had so much talent that we didn’t get to see.

[@stuntedgrowth]

One of my favorite point guards of the era on and off the floor. Carries himself like a true sportsman. He was a marvel with the ball and had all the heart in the world. Really wish he was still in the league and healthy. Would've been deadly with the Celtics if so. Does he have a HOF chance?

[@pineapplegritz7281]

Naw no HOF for Kemba. If so, I'd be surprised

[@33greenleaf]

If he’s healthy, someone will pick him up.

[@dominiquepapin6782]

hell nah he’s not hof

[@T14-11]

Do Anthony Randolph his story is Interesting

[@Jonathanfifer00]

Do taco fall he’s in china now

[@jruss400]

He was so smooth coming outta UCONN…I once viewed him a little under CP and had the potential to be great…i think his main problem was defense I just hope he gets another chance to play a big role on a good team

[@jaysondelacruz4986]

lots lots lots of respect to all small guards playing the game, we all know how hard to be small and being a guard, as well, all guards made the game beutifull thank you, i appreciate all what i witnessed

[@psychotropnilachtan8869]

Hes not forgotten. He about to win Championshop with Mavs .....

[@joetriesitall]

whether he makes it back to the league or not, he has a lot to be proud of. He has his whole life still ahead of him

[@bbryant9455]

Shiiit I'm still on that Christmas game he had last year. Bro snapped and looked like the kemba of old. Still reppin 💯 always been a fan since the days of him and Jerome Dyson

[@jessearias2863]

You are right JC he was fun to watch a great point guard with a cool name.

[@thebestcentaur]

Was a huge fan of dude from his winning time at UConn. Very sad to see his career taking this turn, and I at least hope he makes the College Hoops HoF

[@boozywoozy73]

Kemba Walker is a small guard dependent on speed and quickness. Once he lose a step he's done! Kemba is still had a good career and had one of the best NBA careers of any NYC PG.

[@sfdko3291]

He needs to switch his game to CP3 type approach....Idk how he's gonna do that seeing as how CP3 himself was still athletic up until this year.

[@CruddyDave]

He had a better career than Shabazz Napier and they were the same player even won a natty title

[@JayMcd91]

I will always love kemba for the excitement he brought to CLT. He was my favorite nba player.

[@XabzintheNBAGuru]

Damn ( haven't checked ) I thought he'd still get a shot . Crazy how 3 years can change so much

[@TheEliWay]

Kemba was a dawg in UCONN and I remember when he's hits the GW V. Pitt at MSG and I became a super fan of his game and the 2018-19 Season was so dope man and It's sad that every 30 teams is not pick him. SMH

[@MeechYaboy]

Loved my guys game and his time in the league… but those last few years I feel teams made it a point to attack his size every game

[@jopilot4126]

MJ did the right move no signing him to that monster extension in 2017

[@ninoescxbar7424]

one of the few moves he actually did right

[@ColdHoops]

MJs cheap. Other than LaMelo, no ones getting that much of an extension in Charlotte. Unless MJs a fool, and let's LaMelo walk

[@Paul_pp]

As a Celtics Fan I still love Kemba, HIs first season before the All Star Break he was the best PG in the East and made the Celtics dangerous. If he didn't get hurt that season the Celtics would have went to the finals in the Bubble and possibly won it. Kemba was legit.

[@newadarirull]

This is a great video. I think all the reflections you exposed are on point and make a lot of sense. Thanks for producing it like all the others.

[@JoelGraves]

Props to Kemba for forever grinding and eventually getting that max bag! Loved him on the C’s, to be sub 6 ft (we all know his listed height is a stretch even w shoes on) dominate the league and be a multi time all star is beyond rare.

[@tannerwoods6088]

Please do one on Joe Alexander. Best WVU prospect since Jerry West

[@nocappp47]

Will never forget watching him hit that game winner over Pitt in March Madness. Can you do another on Jeremy Lamb?

[@ManovSteelo]

GREAT player footage on this one -- you got all the Shiftiness Kemba is remembered for 🔥🔥🏀. Let's see one on MarShon Brooks; dude had some good scoring tools but why didn't he ever break through?

I love kemba walkers game. Sadly this is a young man's league. 31 is not old. It's just sad how no teams were willing to take a chance on him after Boston. He got cut by the Pistons? Man they should of kept him as a 6 man and mentor the cubs (cade, Ivey)

Kemba ruined my bracket his last year haha. Dude is a hoop legend. A favorite of mine for sure

[@jeremiahtalkssports1832]

I feel bad for Kemba. I hope he gets another shot in the league. He is only 31. Get this man on a roster. I have always been a fan of how shifty and bouncy he is off the dribble, and he really gets some lift off of the ground into his jumper. He can still be a scorer for a team

[@vandakaii2893]

As someone who also has torn their meniscus in my right knee and the surgery leaving my nerves completely damaged and never healing properly and know my left knee is having issues. I feel people who have had the same issues.. It sucks and I believe medicine is not truly far enough to handle fixing or in my case replacing meniscus tears completely yet.. Its hard to keep having trust in doctors who keep making promises and it failing in the end and then busting your ass off in physical therapy to try to come back and not making it. Prayers out to Kemba to make it back!

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

One of the strangest stories in the history of nba. I always liked this guy starting at UConn. He should get another chance. Really weird path.

Passing of the torch in the new era NBA . His error of ball kinda passes him. Defense while criticized makes small small guards hard to play now

[@ogmusik2549]

Why does trae young play in the league there is loads of small guards

[@rubengutierrez5102]

The Lakers should sign Kemba Walker because they need a point guard!

[@shmoney6464]

Back in the day u could survive with having ok or average defense on a team because u would often have lockdown shooters and lockdown perimeter defense but now u need to be elite on the defensive end and can’t relay on only scoring

[@ogmusik2549]

Tell that to trae young if anything you don't need to be good at defense at all now in the nba it's all about scoring

[@chasenickles260]

@@ogmusik2549 not true, trae young gets a pass because he is still young.......kemba got a pass because he was young, once his speed and athleticism started to drop, kemba became more of a liability on the court because he was undersized and couldnt play defense and him scoring the ball wasnt worth it..........one thing that trae does that kemba didnt is that trae young can pass the ball, he can get other players involved which can lead to him having a longer career even as he get older

[@wa11ace3]

Not a contender, he is too small , a scoring point guard and dont play defense.......imagine kemba coming off the bench to score 15 points but giving up 30 on the other end .......

[@gilfordmccormack8140]

As a Knicks fan it was unfortunate watching how things ended up for Kemba in NY last season. Watching him it was clear that he wasn't the same player anymore plus he didn't fit what Thibs was trying to do defensively. Jalen has just fit a lot better for the team this season.

As a Celtics fan I was so against the signing. I was accused of being a hater and I remember having to explain to people over and over again that I actually really liked Kemba a lot, but just knew that knee was a ticking time bomb and getting rid of Horford, Morris, Rozier & Baynes to clear up the space to sign him was an objectively terrible decision.
