This is a ridiculous statement.  First of all, Antoine Walker does not turn
the ball over willy-nilly as this paragraph would have us believe, second
of all just because you get uneasy doesn't mean Rahim is good.  Hell I get
uneasy when some loser white guy from the CBA gets the ball against the
Celtics because their defense SUCKS!

Yes Walker can jump high enough for an alley-oop.  Yes he can block and yes
he can jam.

NO!  I absolutely would not!
