The journey of the New York Knicks star Kemba Walker has been incredible. He began his collegiate career at the University of Connecticut where he spent three years. In his final year, he led the Huskies to the NCAA championship and Walkers won the Most Outstanding Player award. Subsequently, he was drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats, where he would become the franchise leader in most statistical categories.

Walker is a one-of-a-kind player with ridiculous ball-handling skills and excellent shot-making. Furthermore, his handles were known to be one of the best in the league. Even from a young age, Walker had exceptional ball-handling, and he was used to humiliating players.

An old photo of Walker is going viral where he is up against John Wall. The photo shows Walker’s insane handles and him leaving Wall in the dust.
