Kemba Walker is the franchise player for the Charlotte Hornets. He just is. He’s not marketable in the way Larry Johnson or Baron Davis was. I see so many Panthers players on local car dealership ads, Cam Newton was on some yogurt ads nationally, Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis are all over CPI. Hornets players, currently, not so much. Kemba appeared in the background of the HBO show Ballers. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it. He’s a two time NBA All-Star.
I love Kemba Walker. I’ll go to bat for that dude. I hate, hate to see him involved in trade talks.
