Kemba Walker is a four-time NBA All-Star, member of the 2019 USA National Team, an NCAA champion, and the all-time leading scorer for the Charlotte Hornets. Kemba first made a name for himself nationally when he led the UConn Huskies to win the NCAA Championship in 2011. Later that year, Kemba was a top draft pick for what would become the worst team in NBA history (statistically speaking) - the Charlotte Bobcats.
Kemba sat down with Ric to talk about the ups and downs of his career, a day in the life of an NBA superstar, and how he imagines life after basketball.
