5. The Real Reason Why

After taking the 2017 All-Star Game away from Charlotte, North Carolina, the league owes it to the fans of the Hornets to put Kemba in the game. Not only that, but he was arguably the biggest snub last year and they can’t let that happen two seasons in a row. Plus, it has been almost a decade since the team has had an all-star, they are deserving of one now that they are no longer bottom dwellars in the East.

While all of the other reasons are valid points as to why he should make the team, the fact of the matter is, the NBA owes this one to the Charlotte Hornets. Even though the All-Star Game may return to the Queen City in 2019 and they pulled the game for a good reason this year, Kemba deserves to be an all-star and the team deserves to have one.

It will be interesting to see if Kemba makes the Eastern Conference All-Star team this season or if the Charlotte Hornets and their fans will have to wait yet another year. Keep voting for Walker and help him make the game.
