 The Chemistry Chem-Ba Walker he's displayed for the Celtics this year. Could serve as a reminder that a positive mental Attitude could be overlooked.

 A really overlooked aspect of Scouting and analysis of players. Chem-Ba Walker is a better basketball player than Kyrie Irving.

 In part because of his winning and overall position and uplifting nature.

TP for the pun

 Tps back to All.

 Anybody arguing that Kyrie is a better winner in basketball player than Kemba Walker it's just funny.

Not sure about the nickname, but I am sure about the positive impact Kemba has had. He's a willing passer, moves like crazy off the ball (can rarely remember Kyrie doing so), and most importantly, he is actually a good defender.

I remember that many were posting about how Kyrie and Kemba were essentially equals on defence. I had never been able to watch much Kemba in Charlotte, so I couldn't know. But my oh my is that not the case at all! I think that overall Kemba might be a general talent upgrade alongside the massive chemistry upgrade, considering how he consistently plays good defence.

It was a big time annoyance watching Kyrie show the ability to play good defence, but then simply not do it a lot.
