Some of you may remember him as “Bill” or “Billy”. We remember him for so many different reasons that we just had to reach out and hear his story from the man himself. Henry Walker is on the show today and you probably just got chills reading this if you are familiar with his High School, AAU or College days. Don’t get it twisted though, he had success at all levels and panned out a great career in the NBA and overseas. Don’t worry, we learn all about that too. 

Walker took High School basketball by storm with his teammate OJ Mayo. The Top 10 recruit went on to win back-to-back State Titles in the state of Ohio and damn near broke the internet on multiple occasions with his electrifying dunks. Walker went on to play at Kansas State where he, Jacob Pullen, and Michael Beasley made a lot of noise. Henry was selected 47th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft. Walker played 5 seasons in the NBA and carved out a great career overseas, even after multiple knee injuries. 

The resilience of Walker is something everyone needs to hear about. His ability to keep moving forward and make the adjustments to his game to keep competing, regardless of the obstacles he faced is something that we truly admire. But what may impress us most is all that he is doing for his community and the youth. Whether you remember him as Bill, Billy, Henry, or even just a great basketball player, we will always just remember him as a great person and we can’t thank him enough for sharing his story and his knowledge of the game.

Thank you Henry!
