Before Kemba Walker ever played a game at UConn, he met with Huskies coach Jim Calhoun and made a unique request.
“He said he didn’t want to just be good, he wanted to be great,” Calhoun said recently.
“When any kid tells you that, it’s a big price tag,” Calhoun added. “It means I can get on you every day at practice. It gives me license because you say you want to be great, and I wouldn’t want you to lie to yourself, and therefore we’re going to try to get you to where you can because he does have great physical attributes.”
