Kemba Walker trying to change culture of losing in Charlotte

Charlotte Bobcats point guard Kemba Walker has had enough of losing.

Since being drafted ahead of the 2011 season, Walker and the Bobcats have won less than 20 percent of their games, going 28-120 during that span.

Ahead of the new campaign, the Charlotte Observer reports that the energetic guard is doing his best to make sure the team is more than ready to turn things around, asking everyone to show up for the team's optional September workouts.

Everyone, including marquee free-agent signing Al Jefferson.

Via the Observer:

Thursday morning 15 or so players were in the practice gym doing 3-on-3 drills with the new coaching staff.

Center Al Jefferson, the most significant off-season acquisition, says he’s never seen anything like this in nine previous NBA seasons.

“A lot of veterans might choose not to, but they’re here. We’re getting together and getting to know one another,” Jefferson said.

“I told Kemba (Walker) when I first signed that I’m not coming here to lose. I’m coming here to turn things around,” Jefferson added. “I think (the seriousness of purpose) started with me. If I’m here in September, everyone should be. If Ben Gordon is here, same thing. If Brendan Haywood, a guy who already won a championship (with the Dallas Mavericks) is here, everybody should be here. That’s the way we look at it.”
