Kemba Walker - Winner

103 points across two games would be the biggest win of most NBA players' careers. Add that stat-line to Kemba Walker heading into free agency at the end of this season and it is not hard to see why Walker had a very successful week.

At 28 years of age, Walker is set to find a team that will be more than willing to pay him a huge contract in the offseason. Whether or not that will be with the Charlotte Hornets is yet to be known. Although he does seem to enjoy his time in Charlotte, the lack of support around him could see him seek a move to a title contender.

The 60 point game epitomizes Kemba's time in Charlotte as even though he dominated individually the Hornets couldn't get over the line in a close overtime game against the new look Philadelphia 76ers.
