Kemba Walker is already making friends in Beantown as the new point guard of the Boston Celtics.
After agreeing to a four-year deal with the Celtics on Sunday, Walker landed in Boston on Monday and took some pictures and signed autographs for Boston fans.

Walker is replacing Kyrie Irving in Boston. With the way Irving's tenure with the Celtics ended, it's not going to be hard for Walker to become the most popular player in Boston this season.
This past season with the Charlotte Hornets, Walker averaged 25.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 43.4 percent from the field, 35.6 percent from beyond the arc and 84.4 percent from the free-throw line. The three-time All-Star joined the Celtics because he wants to go on a deep playoff run and is looking forward to playing with Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Walker isn't as good as Irving is on the basketball court, but Kemba isn't the diva which Kyrie is. Walker is low maintenance. He's going to get along with his teammates and Celtics head coach Brad Stevens, something Irving wasn't able to do.
Boston lost Irving and Al Horford, but adding Walker and Enes Kanter isn't that bad. We'll see how the Celtics do this upcoming season.
