Antoine Walker back to NBA? / ¿Antoine Walker de vuelta a la NBA?

Walker began his NBA career as the sixth overall draft pick of the Boston Celtics in 1996, and went on to spend 12 seasons as a member of the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks, Miami heat, Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies. He won a title with Miami, was All-Star in 1998, 2002 and 2003, and was on the All-Rookie First Team in 1997.

Sadly, Walker's post-NBA life has been marred by legal troubles and financial ruin, no doubt inspiring him to work hard to make a comeback in one of the few vocations where financial issues can get resolved quickly. He began working out over the summer in an attempt to get back into shape, and has dropped as much as 25 pounds. It now seems he is of at least some interest to the Charlotte Bobcats as training camp looms.

ESPN's Marc Stein reports that Walker will arrive in Charlotte this week to begin taking part in daily pick-ups games at Charlotte's practice facility, and that he will stay with long-time friend and current Bobcat Nazr Mohammed.

Walker empezo su carrera en la NBA escogido en el puesto nº 6 del draft de 1996 por los Boston Celtics, donde pasó 12 temporadas, también jugó en equipos como, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Minesota o Memphis. Ganó un anillo con Miami, fue All-Star en 1998, 2002 y 2003, y estuvo en el primer equipo de Rookies de 1997.

Desgraciadamente, la vida post-NBA de walker ha estadomarcada por problemas con la ley y problemas financiales, esto le ha hecho trabajar para volver a una de sus vocaciones donde podría saldar sus cuentas fácilmente. Empezó a trabajar durante el verano para volver a estar en forma, y ha perdido cerca de 12 kilos. Está incluido en la lista de los intereses de los bobcats en el training camp.
