With his entire family and former high school and college teammates — including Shabazz Napier, Jeremy Lamb, Chris Fouch, and closest friends — in attendance, Hornets legend Kemba Walker officially opened the Kemba Walker Sports Academy in Concord today.
A lifelong dream for the four-time All-Star and the Hornets’ all-time leading scorer, the academy extends Walker’s legacy by providing top-of-the-line training and facilities for young athletes in the Charlotte area.
The facility features four full-size high school basketball courts, a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning center, and a dedicated team room for film study and performance analysis.
The academy will also host the inaugural Kemba Walker Basketball Invitational this weekend, June 27–28.
