Kemba Walker isn’t known for his defense. Many think this is because of a lack of effort or because he’s not super athletic. However, he has the speed and athleticism to play defense he just struggles due to a size disadvantage. Well tonight, he got to showcase some of that athleticism in this incredible block from behind.
Jose Calderon didn’t have a clue what was about to happen to him. His man was stuck down court, and there he was, wide open on the arc. It was only him, a wide open 3-pointer, and the rim. Alright, get set, look at the rim, get ready to jump up andddd WHAT THE HELL, SOMETHING TEAL JUST FLEW AT ME.
Kemba’s speed is incredible. The acceleration required to get from one end to the court to the other in that quick a time, is a surprising rarity among the NBA. Even more impressive is he was able to time his jump to contest and block the shot. The patience and technique that requires is almost super human. Then again, the way Kemba Walker flew across the screen he may very well be a super hero.
Jose Calderon is gonna be looking over his shoulder for the rest of the night, because at any moment, Kemba Walker can be there. Just when Calderon feels relaxed, boom, there’s Kemba, ready to swat that weak garbage into the third row. Tonight when he gets home, Calderon is gonna hear a creak and look over his shoulder to see a sprinting Kemba Walker running right at him. Of course, at this point it’s just Calderon’s mind playing tricks on him, but can you blame him? A block this incredible is sure to traumatize any shooter.
