Kemba Walker Shares Honest Admission On Facing Celtics
Kemba Walker is chomping at the big to face his former team, the Boston Celtics, on Wednesday night.
Most players don’t make much of facing their former team(s), at least publicly. But Walker was honest when asked about the situation on Tuesday.
The star guard revealed he’s amped up to face the Celtics and is going to do everything he can to lead the Knicks to a win.
“Does it matter? Of course,” Walker said of facing the Celtics this Wednesday. “It’s my old team. Yeah, it matters. I don’t go into any game thinking I wanna lose, you know? I definitely wanna win. Does it make it that much better that it’s my old team? Yeah, no question.”
