Antoine Walker has led career filled with high peaks and deep valleys. A McDonald's All-American, standout at The University of Kentucky, and 3 All-Star Game selections are equally as impressive as his ability to launch 3-pointers at an unconscionable rate, his predilection for turning the ball over (led the league in '97-98), or the way he went bankrupt after earning over $108 million during his NBA career.
Walker peeked in the 2000-01 season at the age of 24. While playing 42 minutes a game for the Celtics, Antoine scored a career high 23.4 ppg, had a career high 5.5 apg, and was rebounding at a rate of 8.9 per contest. His notoriously low shooting percentage fell right at his career average of a shade over 41%. He managed to lead the league in 3-point attempts in 3 consecutive years despite never even approaching a respectable 3-point %. To be more blunt, Walker was a forward who took 10+ free throws in only 3 games during his peak season, but attempted 10+ 3-pointers in 22 games. One game in 2001, Walker attempted 17 3s, making 6. These are staggering stats!
This grainy video is practically a "how to" instruction manual for having a terrible shooting percentage. This trick shot goes in despite being defended by 3 players
Here is a video of Walker highlights that includes college highlights, pro highlights, and plenty of Walker's patented "shimmies"
This video makes you wonder how the dunking college player turned into a lethargic NBA player that fell in love with the 3-point shot
The YouTube vault was relatively empty for Antoine. The highest returned results were for his ridiculous shimmy
So how filthy was Antoine Walker? 2 trash cans of filth for a waste of potential and inefficiency
