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

- Young Kemba Walker was a problem. When it comes to point guards that handle the ball well, many bring up Kyrie Irving, but to me Kemba was not far behind and a lot more efficient with his moves, making them not as flashy as let’s say Kyrie Irving. But when it comes to point guards and the beauty they brought to ball handling, Kemba is top 5 in my opinion, along with Irving, Deron Williams, Baron Davis and Allen Iverson. When speaking of New York, he might just have the crown. More than handles, prime Kemba was a deadly shooter, usually in the high 30s from 3, with a career high of 39.9 in 2016-17, the year he became an all star for the first time. He was always in the tops in points in the paint and his mid range game was just as polished. A three level scorer, but what I liked most was he was a dog for sure. Killer instinct attribute bar all the way up and a badge to go with it. He wanted the challenge, and he got the best of you he let you know about it after. I always appreciated him as Michael Jordan’s first star player under his tutelage because he reminded me of Michael, just a 5’ whatever version. That was prime Kemba. Then everything change almost instantly. He currently doesn't have an NBA team, and it looks like the league has forgotten that he's gone. GONE And FORGOTTEN: The Best Player Not In The NBA!

![The SUDDEN Fall Of Kemba Walker [What Happened?]](/img/n.gif)
Dallas just signed him! Welcome back to NBA Kemba! Hope he fulfills a role and make a good fit.🙏🙏
Really happy with this sign by Dallas
If he hits open 3’s and manages to have a pulse on defense he’ll have no problem cracking the rotation.
@@EnZo7992 tbh Dallas just needs better scorers, Luka is not enough
Where is he
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.
Thats literally everyones favorite highlight of him its not hard
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
Shout out shabazz napier
Facts bro
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
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
I was thrilled when he finally became an all star. His growth took a while but when he honed his skills he was lethal.
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
Nice, how tall is he fTF
@@XabzintheNBAGuru Not that tall, back then I was only 5'6" but he wasn't that much taller
I’ve met him as well. Really cool dude irl.
Damn, id do anything to go to an nba game
@@33greenleaf must've been a blast🤘🏿
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
ofc I know who Kemba Walker is but yk what I mean lol
This mf be in accurate a lot though
His game was spectacularly efficient and he moved effortlessly.
His peak didnt last long at all, but he has my respect. His prime in Celtics/Hornets was special
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I would love to see an update on Billy Preston. Had so much talent that we didn’t get to see.
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
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?
Naw no HOF for Kemba. If so, I'd be surprised
If he’s healthy, someone will pick him up.
hell nah he’s not hof
Do Anthony Randolph his story is Interesting
Do taco fall he’s in china now
He had a better career than Shabazz Napier and they were the same player even won a natty title
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.
MJ did the right move no signing him to that monster extension in 2017
one of the few moves he actually did right
MJs cheap.
Other than LaMelo, no ones getting that much of an extension in Charlotte.
Unless MJs a fool, and let's LaMelo walk
You are right JC he was fun to watch a great point guard with a cool name.
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
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
I will always love kemba for the excitement he brought to CLT. He was my favorite nba player.
Damn ( haven't checked ) I thought he'd still get a shot . Crazy how 3 years can change so much
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
Fierce episode my man. I wana say one of my favs from your content. Hats off to you for your chanell too....since you always ask "us" to give you ideas for more episodes....you already reached for kembas type of stunted growth...so maybe follow this type of similar stunted growths type of stories... Anfernee?
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?
Agreed 💯 JC in his prime!
Great video👍🏾
Always exciting to watch.
Please do one on Joe Alexander. Best WVU prospect since Jerry West
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
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.
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.
Thank you for the video even if a bit sad for the man. You got a lot of clout but if you read that, see ya in Amemura and keep doing you thing.
Bro, I completely forgot about Kemba. Excellent video! BTW, you sound Bahamian. If so, big up from Canada!
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)
Hes not forgotten. He about to win Championshop with Mavs .....
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
Will never forget watching him hit that game winner over Pitt in March Madness. Can you do another on Jeremy Lamb?
Difference is that lámelo ball is 6’6. Davis and Paul are barely 6’0
Lamelo is 6’8 bro. When he stands next to tatum they are the same height
@@Deano88848 LaMelo is not 6'8. There's a picture of him side by side with Lonzo and Lonzo is taller. Lonzo is listed at 6'6.
@@Thuromc maybe when they were younger but lamelos taller then lonzo now
You made this 2 weeks too early my man. SIGNED.
No way he's supposed to be out of the league when there are a few dozen of pedestrian players who couldn't even do half of what he does injured..
Kemba was nice real newyorker and a oldschool bball player moves just love seeing it just reminds me from way back when the love❤💯
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
Kemba ruined my bracket his last year haha. Dude is a hoop legend. A favorite of mine for sure
If He Go Over Seas He's Gonna Still Be Able To PlayAnd Compete On A High Level...
Knicks fan since '89. When we got him I was like...nnnnnnooooooooooo!!!! "we got him for cheap". IDC! The guy was damaged goods for sure. Wish I was wrong.
What up ! Pistons fan from same era. Kemba jobbed us too, he was on the roster but didn't even show up WTF. But I still got Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn for your Oakley and Anthony Mason👍
Was never afraid to take the big shot never!!!! Sackwerns projects finest. SOJNDVIEW STAND UP!!!
Them knee inuries man and i loved kemba especially when he came to my celtics but he just couldnt stay healthy he should still be in nba tho
Kemba had one of the coldest step back crossover to the pull up jumpers ever .lol can You do Cuttino Mobley and Vernon Maxwell stunted growth
Do one on stephon marberry.... Very informative about kemba... I remember him in college.
I saw some footage somewhere on YT in HS I believe he played against Lou Will HS in a tournament he went CRAZY
Gotta do one in Tyler Herro next. Love the content bro!
Tyler Herro still in da league bruh
lmao bro Tyler still in the A
He's back!
Michael Carter Williams Next ???
Imagine Hornets Got AD In 2012 Him & Kemba Sheesh But Homie Definitely Put On For The Undersized Guards Hope He Make It Back To The League.
the HARD cuts and splices did his knees in....bro could flat out ball
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.
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
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
@@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
1:30 “Reminded me of MJ” “If he was 6’6 he would’ve been the best player in the league” 😂 bro is off hella crack
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!
Just got signed to the Mavs! Congrats to him
I didnt even kno kemba was out of the nba I was neva a fan but yo was a beast
From i saw how the nba did melo, a top 10 all time nba scorer, i was like yea, anybody could get it
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
Why does trae young play in the league there is loads of small guards
Always liked Kemba. Hoped to see him contribute on a championship team some day
Dame I forgot about kimba…..he should still be here
The Lakers.. The Bucks .. The Mavericks Nuggets 76ers etc Kemba could still be a help to many teams
Mavs gonna sign but playing defense won’t save him and his knee injury he had, need to stay healthy
Ya can't tell me he can't help a team out! He could easily be a solid backup PG! Dwight Howard also,he can definitely help a team
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 .......
One of my favourite players man
kemba is a monster. i have a lot of respekt for the man. its sad his career wasnt very long lasting.
If he knee wasn't finished he would've done great on the knicks and we all saw flashes of it
Bro I thought he passed away when I was reading the title
Same , how tall is he if u know
@@XabzintheNBAGuru 6'3
@@bigdaddymlora thanks man , good day
@@bigdaddymlora naw maybe 6'
@@XabzintheNBAGuru nah hes 6 foot
He can still play today! N.Y needs him back!
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.
The Lakers should sign Kemba Walker because they need a point guard!
Miami can use him off the bench , Brooklyn, Milwaukee,and a few more teams can use him for 15 to 20 min a game
Stopped watching after the top 5 ball handlers had Deron Williams and Baron Davis but not Jason Williams, who is probably the best, most creative ball handler of the last 30 years. Deron Williams had average handles at best, he was just strong for his position.
Wheres Jamal Crawford on the top ball handlers list
Kemba is still a BX /Soundview legend 💯
He can definitely still play
what...my man is out of the NBA?
I'm still rooting for him.
Would love Kemba on the 76ers. Kemba was a great passer and pick n roll player too.
He was a great player 👍🏾💯
Can you do an Anfernee Simons Growth Spurt?
Kembe was a beast in Charlotte after that idk what went wrong he never fit in Boston or the Knicks due to how the team was ran
He's baaaaack, baby! I hope he's been getting them shots up because Kemba has a legit shot to shine in the roll J. Kidd has planned for him.
That KNEE!!!
I remember he was a beast definitely
You should do Greivis Vasquez next
You got to do Carmelo next 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
PUT SOME RESPECT ON KEMBA NAME
THAT MAN BEEN THE TRUTH......
You should do one on Brandon Roy
Comparing kemba to Mike is WILD...
Let's see if he can have a new chapter to his legacy with the Mavs
Kamba Walker just signed with the Dallas Mavericks….Hopefully this is his comeback!!
He said he wasn't playing for my Pistons, so the league and Pistons said F! You! 😁😆
Jay Williams and Kemba Walker 2 best college point guards I’ve ever seen
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.
You need to do Fennis Dembo
Dude dropped 62 I remember, I been wondering what he was doing
