2. Exciting Style of Play

If you don’t think that Kemba is an exciting player, then you just haven’t been watching Hornets’ games. Every night he has at least one or two highlight plays that leave the audience in awe. He has one of the most deadly stepbacks and crossovers in the NBA. Why does this matter?

Because the All-Star game is a show and players like to have some fun for the fans. Walker would bring some extra flair to the game with his speed and quickness. He is not only exciting but he is also lethal in his play.

Kemba is one of the best point guards at getting to the rim and scoring in the paint. Although he hasn’t dunked the ball in about four years, his small stature makes his difficult finishes at the rim much more impressive. Hate this reason all you want but until you watch a Charlotte Hornets’ game (I know many casual fans that aren’t supporting the Hornets haven’t) you can’t knock Walker.
