The rumor had started to rustle in the morning, and AS Monaco confirmed the news in the afternoon: the Monegasque club managed to get their hands on Kemba Walker for next season!
A very big catch for the reigning French champions since we are talking about a quadruple All-Star, best scorer in the history of the Charlotte Hornets (12,009 points), who played 750 games in the NBA…
Still, at 33, Kemba Walker left the NBA through the back door, due to major knee problems that have limited his effectiveness since his time in Boston. After his failed experience in New York, the former leader of Charlotte never managed to revive, contenting himself with a short stint in Dallas during the last season.
