Kemba Walker not only respects Bradley Beal, but the Charlotte Hornets star said he was a “huge fan” of the Washington Wizards guard. Sitting at his locker after the Hornets‘ 116-110 win Friday, Walker praised Beal’s passion and energy.

Throughout this season, Walker and Beal have been tasked with trying to will their teams into the playoffs. Both the Hornets and the Wizards sit under .500, and it’s often up to each star to keep their team in the playoff race — despite the lack of talent around them.
