Kemba Walker is living a dream that he hasn’t awaken from yet. Well into his eighth NBA season, Walker says he still pinches himself trying to fathom that he’s not only a pro basketball player, but that he’s among the best in the world.
“Sometimes, I can’t believe it,” Walker told Sports Illustrated. “There’s times where I’m on the bench thinking about that kind of stuff, like I can’t even believe I’m here, man. It’s pretty surreal, honestly.”
When the 2019 NBA All-Star Game tips off inside the Spectrum Center in Charlotte this weekend, it’s likely no player will receive as loud an ovation as Walker.
