Kemba Walker Now 0-28 Head-To-Head With LeBron In Career

Kemba Walker may be a star on his team, but he has no chance against LeBron James. The Charlotte Hornets lost the game to the Los Angeles Lakers, and are now two games out of the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference with 7 left to play.

Walker is now 0-28 in head-to-head games with King James. There are 24 regular season failures, and the 2014 fiasco against the Miami Heat.

Kemba Walker was a star in college basketball, and his arrival for the 2011 NCAA Tournament was a huge thing. Bison guard Bryan Cohen said, “My assignment is Kemba Walker, and you’re witnessing the man that’s going to stop him Thursday night.”

But there was no chance for the team to defeat Walker.

“It was personal too,” Walker told NBC Sports Washington. “They were talking a little trash before the game. One of their guys was saying he was the Kemba Walker stopper. I think me and my teammates took that personal.”

It was a challenging game. “We killed them,” Jeremy Lamb, Walker’s teammate with Connecticut and Charlotte, told NBC Sports Washington. “It was disgusting. We were growing as the season moved along. We just didn’t realize it.”

Former Bucknell coach Dave Paulsen recalled the game plan for his players.

“We never had a chance,” Paulsen told NBC Sports Washington. “[Kemba] was just phenomenal. We tried trapping him on ball screens, and he just passed.”

This game was more than enough to boost Walker’s confidence

“We were locked in. We were super duper confident, yeah,” he said. “We were ready to go especially after winning the Big East Tournament. I have a pretty good relationship with some of the ushers and that’s because it started here. It’s always great vibes when I come back here.”

“Just willing his team, making big shot after big shot,” James Borrego said of Walker. “That’s what defined him and gave him immediate respect in the NBA.”

This may be great and everything, but Walker doesn’t have a real chance to challenge LeBron. Maybe he should just join him and play for the Lakers. That’s a nice scenario, and he can become free agent.
