Kemba Walker NBA Career

As for his virtual self, Walker is a well-designed athlete in the NBA 2K21 game. The former Celtics guard was awarded a 86 overall rating owing to his displays in the previous season. But in NBA 2K22, his ratings dropped to 83 with a playmaker's build and 43 badges in total.

Walker went down as the ninth overall pick in the 2011 draft as the then Charlotte Bobcats selected him. He impressed with his shooting and started all 82 games as a sophomore. Walker quickly transformed as Charlotte's integral roster piece.?

He led them to the 2014 playoffs and put up impressive numbers against the Miami Heat, but they still got swept by LeBron James and co.

Things at the newly renamed Hornets franchise quickly turned into a one-man show, and Walker was doing it all.?

He enjoyed a tremendous scoring run in 2019 as he finished the season with averages of 25.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. To date, Walker leads the Hornets' history books in most field goals made, three-point field goals made, free-throws made, and minutes played.?

The times of struggle

Walker had a bitter-sweet debut season in Boston, which was partially plagued by injuries. However, the Celtics made it to the Eastern Conference Finals and Walker averaged 19.6 points, 4.1 assists, and 5.1 rebounds during the postseason that ended with a defeat against NBA Finalists Miami Heat. Then in the 2021 playoffs, the injury-plagued Walker played just three games and averaged a postseason low 12.7 points.

This perhaps forced the C's to trade him to the OKC. Later, just as the Thunder waived him off, the veteran finally united with his hometown squad in the NY Knicks.
