The Final Four in 2011 was a year of Cinderellas when on one side of the bracket, 8-seed Butler and 11-seed Virginia Commonwealth faced each other. On the other side, it was UCONN as a 3-seed taking on 4-seed Kentucky. During this run, Kemba Walker became a bonafide superstar.

In the 2011 NCAA Tournament, Walker averaged 23.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.7 assists all while playing almost the entire game throughout the tournament. He averaged 38.5 minutes during those six games.

What made this run even more impressive was the fact that they won the Big East as a 9-seed playing five games in five days. That strong play in the tournament led to their 3-seed designation.

In the NBA, Walker has continuously improved his game since he was drafted in 2011. He's been an NBA All-Star the past two seasons for the Hornets; where he's spent his entire NBA career.
