Antoine Walker making a comeback attempt

[Andrew]

He's joining the Idaho Stampede of the D-League, pending the standard background check.

According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, Walker will sign with the Idaho Stampede in the D-League provided he passes a standard background check. And seeing as how the Stampede are affiliated with the Nuggets and Blazers, just think of the possibilities.

[Lamrock]

Will need to catch a Stampede game on Versus some time.

[Dan's Brain]

Seems like a thread with this exact title is started every year. Poor Antoine.

[Axel The Great]

Playing alongside Salim Stoudamire. Just wondering, do they show D-League games on atdhe?

[kibaxx7]

With that huge debts he was having, it's at least nice to see him attempt a comeback. The D-League will have a new record for 3s!

[Lamrock]

More like 4's.

[Fresh8]

Hasn't he been trying for the past 3 years? Even had a stint in Puerto Rico I believe.

Good to see him get back into it though Maybe the Heat can pick him up. haha

[Houndy]

Pff, he's only doing this fpor the 475k he gets, and then he will gamble it off. But go Stampede!

[Andrew]

Perhaps one of the greatest expressions in NBA history.

[[Q]]

time to bring em back!!

[Stress Fracture]

At least he won't play for Rio Grande.

Last night in celebration of Antoine Walker getting somehow re-associated with the NBA, i played a random game and tried to put up as many open 3pters as i can, I did probably 22 and maybe made half.

The Stampede should count themselves lucky, rarely does an NBDL team get the chance to add a former NBA champion. [/sarcasm]

[deihatein]

Walker cleared to join

[shadowgrin]

This gif should be displayed on the main site of the NLSC for a day when Antoine Walker is back with an NBA team. Nothing wrong with honoring a former Live (99) cover player.

[JaoSming]

ok, so Wednesday, Friday or Saturday

c'moooon shimmy

[Laxation]

he should go play for washington generals so he can shoot 4s

[Martti.]

Today will be his debut, definitely interested to see how he'll fare.

Walker: "My dream is to play in the NBA"

“My dream is to play in the NBA,” Walker told Brian Murphy of the Idaho Statesman. “I left the game at the wrong time. I want to leave the game on my own merit. … This is the perfect stepping stone to see if I can still be competitive and play at that level.

“I’m here to play.”

An uphill battle and a longshot, but more power to him.

[JaoSming]

I saw him make a layup then I turned it off last night. he's in better shape than I thought though

[Martti.]

13 points, 6 boards, plus the team's first win in 8 games. He looked quite decent out there.
