During a short clip taped by FIBA, Team USA guard Jrue Holiday was asked who were the top three toughest opponents he has ever had to guard and he replied, "Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant and Kemba Walker."
Walker is arguably the best player to ever suit up for purple and teal, leaving the organization as the all-time leader in points (12,009), minutes (20,607), field goals (4,164), three-point field goals (1,283), and free throws (2,398). He officially retired from the game of basketball earlier this offseason after spending this past season playing professionally in Monaco.
