A Charlotte legend, Kemba will always have love and respect here. We appreciate all the years you gave us.

Kemba is still one of my favourite players to this day. So dynamic, quick, footwork, jumper on point. Repping all the smaller dudes! Can’t wait for him to kill in Monaco!

I played in NYC the same year as Kemba and got to meet him at a tournament at st johns, guy was a star of the city at the time but still incredibly humble and nice to everyone around. Lance was an absolute beast, 6'5" at guard with like 30lbs on anyone else on the court.

[@ethangoudetv3455]

Growing up in CLT, NC i hooped on outside neighborhood courts ONLY with the double rims unless it was a school game

[@DDSTWO]

Just found this pod with the John Wall interview and now I’m locked in! Straight hoop talk, no funny biz. That Cardiac Kemba clip still gotta give any real hooper chills to this day! Step BYKE from hell! That boy collllllld!

Corey Fisher was one of my favorites growing up too. Still remember he dropped 105 at the park in NY 😅😅I’m from Elizabeth NJ tho he went to high school out there called St.Pats Jamaar Youngblood too. Kyrie was there too but he was younger on the other side of the school but we got to watch them a lot great group of men
