Hold yo head Kemba, you’re a Legend no doubt. That stepback in the garden alone will be replayed every March for eternity! You did good Champ, the Walker’s should be hella proud.

[@KickAds_Advertisement]

As someone from Pittsburgh I agree u ain’t lying lol

[@chiefgangmusic]

@@KickAds_Advertisement Dam my bad. What was that like 12 years ago? You probably remember it like it was yesterday tho huh? I know I would too. Hyping up Kemba I didn’t realize that I also could be bringing back bad memories for others. Definitely wasn’t my intentions but to make good on it, I’ll turn a negative into a positive by rooting for Pitt this year. So LFG Panthers!! Forge Ahead!!!

[@NelGill1]

Legend? Y’all use that word too loosely. He’s not a legend.

[@deykno87]

Charlotte keeping him alive for wasting his career

[@ninjachannel007]

How tf did they waste his career? They are the ones who believed in him and put the ball in his hands. Just failed to put greats around him. Nobody had a problem with MKG at the 2nd pick. Thought he'd become what Kawhi Leonard became later. Nobody debated Adam Morrison at 3. He was 28 PPG at Gonzaga and looked like he's at least become a Chris Mullin type 3 level scorer. We look back in hindsight like we'd have done something differently, but what?

Is he still getting paid from that contract

Love Kemba giving back even more to CLT. He did so much and endured so much during his time there. Dude's a great person thru and thru

[@kingswankofficial]

Hate to see you retire Kemba but you did great and you had an impactful career💯💯🔥🔥 salute to you and congratulations on your retirement bro. Glad to hear you gone be back with the Hornets and on they coaching staff🔥💯

[@MrGlider-002]

Jersey is 2nd to none

[@joshuablack8221]

Kemba was dope, when he came in he was instantly one of my favorite players 💯 Sucked to see how injuries just took so much away and how he couldn’t stay healthy.

[@erikschutzler1341]

So hard not to love Kemba. True hooper

[@NumbA04]

People don’t understand the amount of physical and mental pain your body experiences while you’re playing sports. Happy that he found ways to make peace when he stepped away, it took me a couple years to and finding joy again in the birth of my child. It can be a dark place sometimes though, for anyone that’s going through it I hope you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

[@Locusto199]

Kemba could hoop for sure. As a Syracuse fan I used to be like fuck that guy, but as a pro I liked him.

[@MasenkOG]

It’s so hard to dislike him. He’s so chill and humble. On that court I get why you disliked him though lol

[@cholmes1772]

I hope he can take that coaching experience and maybe coach here in the Bronx

[@effetang]

S/o Cardiac KEMBA arguably gave us the deadliest stepback ever

[@szninc7315]

Charlotte futures looking bright

[@oceanhudson]

mero sometimes outpaces the guests and should slow down … he should’ve shutup and allowed kemba to expound more, instead of trying to relate or interject . we aren’t here to see you , let the guest shine . we don’t care you’re from the bronx . we clicked on this because we like melo and kemba is on the show . all due respect.

[@ahicks13]

Big 3!

[@Mercury804]

Not feeling Mero sending shots at Charlotte as a city. Charlotte is dope

[@michelle4ever29]

I don't think I will ever retire ... 😂

[@BernardMarx95]

Did you hear anything Kemba said? Come on, dude.

[@KotaManifest]

It’s an off season league

[@plustats]

He would kill in the Big3 but then he wouldn't half step it so I totally understand if he is tired of dealing with injuries and rehab

[@Jaytatum_stepback0]

🔥🔥🔥 man people don’t understand he and harden is underrated bro imagine if Luka had to go against gsw with kd I promise u they will be talking down on him like they do with harden

[@micahhayes8770]

I had them same Jordan 10s in 7th grade that Mero got on. I had the white and Carolina blue ones. None of the new Nikes can fuck with the fashion of retro Jordans.

Mero acting like he would have pushed through the injuries is disrespectful to what Kemba went through.

Kemba and Melo have the same voice.

[@Boss3Nate]

Poor wittle baby

[@AngelGonzalez-bw4gv]

Crazy Melo never had any major injuries

[@user-iy6wr4kk3m]

Him joining the hornets staff is a unreal idea that young hornets team needs some guidance specially from the only player that actually gave hornets fans something to be happy about

[@YoureWrongHeresWhy]

"....he endured to keep making millions upon millions"

[@DODARD1983]

I wish Melo played overseas. I definitely paid to see him play in Europe
