Michael Jordan thanked Kemba Walker for his time in Charlotte

Kemba Walker might be a Boston Celtic now, but he was recently called “one of the best to ever play” for the Charlotte Hornets by none other than Michael Jordan himself.

The Chairman of the Hornets released a statement Monday where he had nothing but praise for his former guard. He called Walker a “special player with a tremendous heart and a tireless work ethic,” and thanked him for his time in Charlotte.

Here’s his full statement via Marc J. Spears of ESPN:
