Kemba Walker is so many things for the 2010-11 UConn Huskies. He is their leader, their go-to scorer, their MVP, and clearly their best all-around player. He should have been selected as the Big East Player of the Year (Ben Hansbrough? Really? Really??) and he will probably be selected as a first-team All-American in April. Plus, as the consensus top point guard in college basketball, he is going to be someone's lottery pick in June. You can take that to the bank. (Minnesota, perhaps? The Wolves do have a thing for PGs. KAAAAAAAAAHN!)

But what is Kemba, really? If you ask
Brittany Griner's bizarro twin Gary McGhee, then Kemba is an ankle breaker. If you ask Pittsburgh
mob capo head coach Jamie Dixon, then Kemba is the
best clutch player in the nation. If you ask UConn head coach Jim Calhoun, then Kemba is the guy who gets the ball at the end of any close game, even though the entire arena knows who's getting the ball.
