Hornets guard Kemba Walker appeared to be moved by the gesture of being voted as a starter in the NBA All-Star Game for the first time in his career.
This will be Walker’s third time playing in the game, but he came off the bench in his other two appearances, so this one is special, especially since he’ll be playing in the friendly confines of Spectrum Center, in front of the hometown Hornets fans.
The news of him being named as a starter in the game came on Thursday night, and you can check out his reaction to it in this video.
