If that did happen and it was a huge success (both on the field/court and off the field/court) then I would consider it a massive miss by Team Jordan.

It already was a massive miss by team jordan, MJ could have easily marketed Cam as his reincarnation in a football uniform. Being that they are in the same city, he could have took him under his wing, the marketing potential would have been limitless and mutually beneifical, I really think Cam has the potential to become the MJ of football.

I made the thread of suggesting MJ to sign Cam before he became a legitimate star in the NFL. but its too late now.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but I found an interesting documentary on Kemba before UCONN.

I think Biyombo might have a better shot at it. Though I don't get as into media as many others do... Maybe Kemba's charisma plays a role in why you think he'll be a star?

Though Biyombo is well spoken and intelligent seeming. I hope his English continues to improve. Kemba seems basketball savvy, but I don't really get "intelligence" one way or the other.

I disagree, I believe that Kemba Walker was underated in this years draft, he is more athletic then Kyrie Irving, can pass the ball pretty well (he displayed his passing skills in several games with the Bucks Jennings over the summer (Jennings on the other hand never passes). I think Kemba will be the best point guard that has ever played in Charlotte by far, and that he will be a perennial all-star someday.

Bismack too has huge potential, but his is of a different kind. If Bismack can learn offense (post game ect), then he has the potential to be the best F/C in all of basketball.....

That second paragraph is why I said what I did. I think Bismack has more Hall of Fame kind of potential than Kemba. Kemba is more likely to be good, but Bismack has a better chance of being terrifyingly amazing.

Yeah he is being optimistic to be sure though I am on the bandwagon with him, Kemba could be very special.

Correction Mugsy and Davis with a better attitude and clutch ability say hi.Also Baron in his prime was pretty dam good, his stats are easily comparable to Derrick Rose's MVP season. And dont try that "his stats were boosted" BS because he has easily held some of the best stats of any of Nelsons point guards.....

Kemba Walker stakes place in mid-range


Coach Silas compares him to five-time All-Star Tiny Archibald.

Baron Davis had the TALENT to be a top 10 all time PG. He was that talented. Kemba doesnt have Baron's physical gifts and skills, but he's a harder worker. So, who knows? Maybe he'll have a better career than Baron.

Hard to imagine him ever being as good as a prime Davis though. Davis & Marbury are by FAR the two biggest wastes of point guard talent in history.

I don't know why you dislike me so much Fats. I almost always agree with you. :D

I don't know a couple young men named Micheal Ray Richardson and Stevie Franchise Francis could make significant arguements for those crowns.
