Now check out Brandon Jennings, Derrick Williams, Kemba Walker, Greivis Vasquez and Under Armour balling out at Lincoln High School during the latest stop on their “Are You From Here?” tour.

Brandon Jennings, Kemba Walker & Greivis Vasquez Bring The NBA To Baltimore

Kemba Walker

“Are you from here?”

On the scoreboard. On the DJ booth. On the bus. From here is St. Frances Academy, but not entirely. That’s just the setting. From here is rugged Baltimore, the streets, where ball is played until the rain gets so heavy you gain weight, where cement cracks go from being ant hill homes to stoned-feet defenders. Read More »
