Kemba Walker’s return to NYC brings ‘tears of joy’ to former coaches, teammates
NY Post
Emanuel “Book” Richardson’s phone began vibrating late Wednesday morning and its frequency only intensified over the next several hours.
Like Richardson, the director of the famed New York Gauchos AAU program, former Rice High School coach Moe Hicks, former Rice player Kashif Pratt, and former Rice assistant and Gauchos coach Dwayne Mitchell experienced the same hectic — though ecstatic — day. Everyone wanted to talk about the return of Kemba Walker, the Bronx native who has agreed to a contract with the Knicks after being bought out by the Oklahoma City Thunder. To many, the four-time All-Star, NCAA national champion and McDonald’s All-American is back where he belongs.More Related News
