Kemba Walker named a starter for All-Star game
Congrats to Employee #8. As predicted, Kemba Walker has earned an All-Star starting spot with Kyrie Irving getting kicked to the curb (after beating out Kemba in the fan vote). Kemba was the top ranking guard for both the players and media (results below).
Reserves will be named next Thursday. Expect one of Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum to make it and give the Celtics two All-Stars.
