Friday's Hornets News: Walker focused on winning, not All-Star spot

Kemba Walker says he’s focused on winning, not the NBA All-Star Game: Kemba Walker is growing tired of the campaign trail to an All-Star Game spot. Don’t misconstrue this: He’d love to be recognized as one of the top dozen players in the Eastern Conference. He enjoyed doing the “Walker, Charlotte Ranger” video. He appreciates that teammates – particularly Nic Batum – want this for him. And he cherishes how the Hornets’ organization has worked to spread the word that he is worthy of this distinction. But he’s worn out on the questions with roughly a week until coaches pick seven All-Star reserves for each conference. -- The Charlotte Observer
