Very good interview. Guys like this kid, Leon...they go through thinks like they did, they understand what's important. You won't hear much complaining or whining from them...just work.

Seems like a good kid, with a good head on his shoulders as you mentioned.

TP, nice to notified on an interview from some of the lesser stars on the team.

From what I saw last year from Walker, I'd like to think he could contribute 5-10 solid minutes a night this year. I like his physical play. Good instigator off the bench.

Hopefully he's developed enough to get a little more run this year.

I like this kid too.

Now, that interviewer is a tea bag.  Can he stop sounding like he's yelling for 2 seconds for crap sake?

Billy's pretty well spoken.  Definitely gotta like the guy.

The interviewer certainly was obnoxious, though.

He's the only player on the team currently in Boston

I couldn't listen to the interview where I am but I read the transcript. It says he says right away "I'm a big fan of sex..."?? Well who isn't??
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity...

My thoughts exactly. Walker seems like a good guy, he reminds me a lot of Leon.

Nice find, I hope the best for Walker.

Seems like a great guy. Comes across very humble and appreciative which is refreshing. I hope his hard work pays off and he gets some burn this season..

Leon came to mind for me too.

Team attitude from this man.  It was not all about him. Nice.  :)

A really soft spoken, eloquent and sincere sounding young man.  I liked all of his answers.  From defense, ubuntu, to giving back. 

I really hope he continues to work hard and gets a shot...if not in Boston, then with any other NBA team.
