	The Enigmatic Antoine Walker, Part II
		After Part I’s recounting of the “good” Antoine Walker I hear some grumbling in the background, so let’s proceed with no delay to the “bad”: Walker has never shot better than.430 from the field for a season and is a career.657 free throw shooter.
		As for the “ugly,” Walker’s aforementioned suspension in the middle of a closely contested playoff series was a huge lapse in judgment (amazingly, later in the series his All-Star running mate Paul Pierce exercised equally bad judgment, the only difference being that he did not make contact with an official).
		Walker was heavily criticized for this even though he was doing exactly what the coaching staff asked of him (Rick Pitino and Jim O’Brien have always been big believers in shooting a lot of three pointers).

	Antoine Walker: Building block or stumbling block?: 4/24/00 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Walker had not played particularly well, and was clearly down, even though his team had just won.
		Instead, there was Antoine, with his foolish wiggle, his lack of perspective, his unwillingness to work on his body in the off-season, his coming of age as a professional player the basketball equivalent of an awkward adolescence.
		Walker also may be better off being out of Boston, going to some new place with a chance to start over, some place where he's not expected to be the leader, but rather just another young player who's never won anything.

		Walker has been an integral part of the team's success, providing both a strong presence in the low post and verbal leadership.
		Walker added that his strong play has not been an attempt to prove Ainge wrong, but has resulted from being healthy and in shape.

		Walker actually asked to be traded when it was clear an extension would not be forthcoming.

		The defining moment of Walker's captaincy came during the 2002 Eastern Conference finals when he gave an animated pep talk that spurred his teammates on to the biggest fourth-quarter comeback in NBA playoff history.

	Antoine Walker - ProSportsDaily Forums
		Antoine Walker, one of the NBA's top remaining uncommitted free agents, has emerged on the Heat's radar.
		Walker, 28, averaged 19.1 points and 9.0 rebounds between the Hawks and Celtics last season but shot just 42 percent and was ninth in the league in field goals attempted.
		As a member of the Heat, Walker would have to accept a lesser role on a championship-caliber team, a la Bob McAdoo with the Lakers in the 1980s, and the Heat would have to be convinced Walker is prepared for such a role.

	APBRmetrics :: View topic - Antoine Walker--just what the Celtics needed?
		In their first game, they won, but Walker was a -6 in that game, while helping the Celtics' opponents to shoot 8% better that game with him on the floor than off.
		antoine walker does not get alot of steals, he doesn't block alot of shots, and almost all the data i have seen suggests he is not by any stretch of the imagination a good defensive player.
		Unless Rivers is using some kind of reverse psychology (praise Walker for defense to inspire him to play good defense), he must be seeing a different game than the numbers are showing (or, again, perhaps this is the result of a small sample size).

	Celtic-Nation.com: Celtic Nation - Antoine Walker returns to the Boston Celtics
		Walker sported a new number -- 88 -- and played as if he had a new lease on life, as his 24-point, 10-rebound performance lifted the Celtics to a 109-102 road win over the Utah Jazz.
		Perhaps most impressive was Walker's commitment to playing the low post; notorious for roaming the periphery, Walker proved strong under the glass, giving the Celtics a consistent offensive threat and fueling a fourth quarter comeback -- this despite his unfamiliarity with head coach Doc River's system.
		Walker now has a head coach and a management structure that won't tolerate an avalanche of threes.

		The move reunites Walker with Paul Pierce, a duo that took Boston to the 2002 Eastern Conference finals and gave the franchise its best years since the Big Three era of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish — along with Ainge — won the last two of a record 16 NBA titles.
