Former Celtic Kemba Walker on joining AS Monaco

Former Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker made a significant change to his stalled basketball career with a move to Europe. He joins AS Monaco after a 12-year career in the NBA.

In a recent interview with Eurohoops, the 33-year-old point guard expressed his excitement about joining a club that believes in him and why he sees the potential for him to help take it to the next level.

“The club was very interested in me, and I just wanted to be part of a club that wanted me, that believed in me,” said Walker. “I saw that the directors felt I could help them reach another level.”

“That’s what convinced me and made me decide to join Monaco,” added the onetime UConn standout. “What’s more, it’s an extraordinary city where I want to spend some time and gain new life experiences.”

“So it’s going to be a really fun time, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity. I just want to keep playing basketball at a high level, and Monaco allows me to do that.”
