“To see how Jimmy Walker can connect to people is one the greatest things I've seen. You know at once he's sincere. He has that feel about him. Some people you are leery about, you know, what's your angle. But Jimmy is so pure. I'm blown away by him.”
“Jimmy always had a car waiting for me when I arrived in Phoenix to play the Suns which was a generous act of kindness which I appreciated.”
“Jimmy is amazing. Right after I bought the Mavericks I travelled with the team to Phoenix. I didn't know Jimmy, but he approached me at our hotel, introduced himself and made a simple offer to me. He said "Mark, whatever you need, just let me know" It’s a statement I have heard more times than I can count. Coming from most people it’s a throw away statement. Coming from Jimmy Walker it’s a commitment. That was 13 years ago and he has always been there for anything I need. Jimmy is a true gentleman with a heart of gold.”
“Without Jimmy Walker there would be no Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. I can’t thank Jimmy enough for all he has done for the MAPC Parkinson’s patients”
“Jimmy Walker is a rare individual. People like him who wish to do good, help others, and generally make the world a better place, asking nothing for themselves, do not come along often enough. Helping others less fortunate than ourselves is perhaps the highest calling any of us can hope to achieve. Jimmy is a role model for all.”
