Under Armour launches their latest Kemba Walker campaign to be nationally televised during commercial breaks. I seen it twice already today while watching NFL & college basketball games. Perfect timing to capitalize on the exposure the Bobcats have been receiving with some early wins into the season

I already said that I've have to change it slightly if I bet.


I do think the Pistons will end with the better record so I'm willing to sig bet you that Kemba ends with a higher PER than Knight provided both players play more than 66 games (so injuries aren't a factor)

PER is the best way to see a players true impact on the game, you willing to wager?

It would have to be more than 1 criteria for me because I've never been a fan of PER to measure a player. (CP3 is not greater than Magic and Jennings is not > Rondo)

I'd be willing to do 3 categories. So who ever wins 2.

PER, TS%, Ast/TO.


knight looking better recently. this is going to be interesting.

Actually you'll probably get our pick next year since this year its lottery protected. and past 4 games, knight has been a lot better than kemba. i maintain that both players are to young to make a definite answer, and if one is better than the other at this point its not enough for it to be debated.


Since your indicating that Kemba is such a beast...excuse me ...styling over knight, how do you explain Knight being a lot better and more efficient the past 4 games than kemba? This whole debate is premature

@fats that reminds me that Combo hasn't stipulated what my sig is if he wins.

His will read if I win "President of the Kemba walker fan club.

Props to Combo for backing his boy in the right kind of bet.

There's no way anyone is going to convince me that Knight has been better than Kemba. Kemba is the unquestioned leader of our team always shows up when we need him.
Mike Malone was never given a fair chance in Sacramento, and Ranadive will soon come to regret that, when he's on top of the WC inevitably contending somewhere

Kemba is quickly turning into a player. Hopefully he can become the monster he was at UConn. If he does when he reaches the top of his game expect games when he puts up numbers like 35 and 15 or 40 and 8. At least one 20/20 game would very well be likely.

20 points and 20 what? combined rebounds and assists?

Kemba won't get 20 assists in a game. No way. 30/15? Maybe. I just don't think he's a high assist player. If he's on a scoring tear, I'd just rather him keep shooting and scoring.

He hasn't even broken 10 yet this year.

Lets wait for Walker to have a 20/10 game this year before we talk about 20/20.. Which won't ever happen.

Kemba has 2 double doubles and 1 triple double in 82 career games. He's just not an assists guy, but what he does for the team, outside of scoring, doesn't always show in the box.
