Antoine Walker was a champion at the University of Kentucky, and he would be drafted 6th Overall by Boston in 1996, though the Celtics were no longer the dominant team they used to be. The Power Forward would be Boston's primary offensive weapon, and he would be named an All-Star in his sophomore season when he averaged 22.4 Points per Game. Walker would be a workhorse, and in 2001-02 he would lead the NBA in Minutes Played, and Field Goal Attempts and he would also go to his second All-Star Game. Walker also had help with Paul Pierce, and the tandem took the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals that year. He would be with Boston one more season and would be chosen for his third and final All-Star Game.
