With Michael Jordan, one of the greatest scorers of all-time, watching from his seat next to the Charlotte Hornets bench, Kemba Walker put on a historic scoring exhibition against the Utah Jazz on Monday.

Walker scored a career-high and a franchise record 52 points in Charlotte's 124-119 double-overtime win over the Jazz. Charlotte's previous franchise record was 48 points by Glen Rice in 1997 and Walker's own career-high was 42 points which he recorded last season. 

Walker started the game hot, scoring 18 points in the first quarter, including three 3-pointers. The Hornets guard shot 16-of-34, 6-of-11 from three and 14-of-15 from the free-throw line. He finished the game with 52 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals in just under 47 minutes.

Here's a look at Walker's 52 point performance:
