WATCH: the best of Kemba Walker’s step-back jumpers

There may still be fans of the Boston Celtics who are still, somehow, unfamiliar with the trademark shot of Celtics starting point guard Kemba Walker.

But, given the UConn product’s deep roots in the northeast, there’s probably not too many of you.

Step-back jumpers are the bread and butter of “Cardiac” Kemba, who earned that sobriquet giving opponents and fans alike heart palpitations with his late-clock shots that leave opposing teams in disarray.

From the start of his epic run to an NCAA title with the Huskies in 2011 right up to the present, there’s a wealth of such shots peppering the Bronx native’s career.

Most came with the Charlotte Hornets at the pro level, his sole NBA franchise until changing teams this summer.

So watch the video embedded above to see all of the best of Kemba Walker’s step-back wizardry; the most recent Celtic is just starting to get in some with his new club, but there’s plenty to see here just the same.
