Kemba Walker ready to rebound with hometown New York Knicks

NEW YORK -- Kemba Walker is a guy who is known for having a constant smile on his face.

But, even for him, Walker was downright giddy Tuesday morning -- and understandably so -- as he was introduced as the new starting point guard for his hometown New York Knicks here at Madison Square Garden, alongside fellow new addition Evan Fournier.

Walker's feelings came not only from getting the chance to come back home, and play in the arena where he burnished his credentials as a bonafide New York City legend playing first for Rice High School and then the University of Connecticut, but also for having an opportunity to prove the knee issues that plagued him last season in Boston are behind him.
