4. Let’s take a moment and put some respeck on Kemba Walker’s name.

Sanning: Superstar in the making. Top tier point guard. Elite scorer. Masterful ball handler. Walker has the makings of something very special. All his inconsistencies aside, Kemba has big time ability and his performances in games 4 and 6 proved that. With this series of experience under his belt, watch out for this young buck for years and years to come.

Tachauer: Walker is incredible. His performance in Game 4 was unbelievable. He is actually one of the few guys on the Charlotte Hornets that I feel the same about now, as I did before the playoffs started. I have always admired his game and competitive spirit.

Keaton: Kemba Walker has been one of my favorites since he was at UCONN. I think he took a big leap this year, finishing better at the basket and becoming a better shooter. Defense could always be a problem for him, as he’s pretty small, but other than that, his future is pretty bright going forward.

Haynes: He reminded me of Allen Iverson. ‘Nuff said.

Kassim: He was phenomenal this series. If Walker had a healthy Batum with how he played this series, the Heat are probably headed back home and the Hornets are moving on. This Hornets team is going to be a threat for a while. Michael Jordan has finally assembled a good team as the owner.

Goldberg: The dude put the team on his back. Malcolm’s right when he compares him to AI. He’s got the same small-man fearlessness. Also, do I detect some shades of 2006 Dwyane Wade?
