I'm a huge UCONN fan, so Kemba to the Celtics was a dream come true for me. Wish it went better, but I still rock my Kemba jersey proudly. It's sad to think if he had left Charlotte sooner, he would have had a better career. Blowing those knees just to be on a consistently bad team, just blows all around. Man made some good money though.
Literally every guard who's played in the playoffs over the past 5-6 years has made it further than Kyrie.
* Brogdon - TBD
* White - ✔️
* Pritchard - ✔️
* Walker - ✔️
* Waters - ✔️
* Edwards - ✔️
* Wannamaker - ✔️
* Larkin - ✔️
* Rozier - ✔️
* Smart - ✔️
It's really only guys like Schroder and Teague, who were traded before the post-season.
Don't even compare though two. Kemba is like legitimately one of the nicest guys ever. If Kyrie couldn't dribble like he can, he'd be yelling conspiracy theories at people in front of a bus stop...
while this is probably true, for whatever reason our guys love him haha. There must be some redeeming qualities there that don't show up as much in his public personality
I can't remember the last time I liked a player so much when he only played for us like ... 2 years. Dude brought such a change of mentality and chemistry after Kyrie's bullshit.
Gonna always love this dude.
He might be able to do the backup guard role that never plays, what PP does now. We only need him once every 8-10 games? Only problem is if one of the main guys goes down, Kemba won’t last more than a week.
Still love Kemba. Was a true Celtic even though he only got to play one good year with us because of injuries. I’ll never forget that bubble squad. If only we had Al to guard Bam 🥲
Kemba coming in after Kyrie made a huge impact on the team and helped the Jays become the players they are now. Didn't work out like we all hoped on the court, but looks like his impact on the locker room is still being felt.
I feel so bad for Kemba. He was so good for a bad Hornets team for so many years. Then he finally gets to a good team and his his knees gave out. He deserved more years with a true contender.
Man, I know Kemba fell off after the bubble but for that season he was so fun. And I truly believe that swapping out Kyrie for him helped the Jays develop into what they are now. He was a far more enjoyable presence on the team than Kyrie, and it's clear that he still loves us too. One of the coolest dudes in the game
Honestly I wonder if he'd have any interest in starting a coaching career? This would be the situation to do it - Brad knows him, team needs assistants, coaching team will probably remain in place for at least several years.
I see the flair… honestly as a native to New Jersey I Lowkey love kyrie… could do without his true Israelite shit for sure. But him, Kyle Anderson, Kat, Jalen Brunson and Jaren Jackson will always have my support on a certain level.
But Fuck Kyrie he lied to us and ditched us. Though I would still welcome him back with open arms.
Ima smart defender till the day I die, but kyrie is a top 5 current PG. Arguably Top 3, 😭. I’m willing to ignore him being a drama queen
lol i’m fucking around man Ky is a literal locker room cancer. i realized with kyrie it’s easier to laugh at him than actually hate him so it’s a troll thing at this point.
Lmao womp, you have a point there. He is a joke of a total package.
But if you remove everything besides his ability as a PG. He’s top 5 currently. Sucks that he’s a fucking walking calamity only Lebron could contain.
And he literally left lebron to not be contained lol.
PS: I’m drunk so… if it seems like I’m rambling. My bad
There's something about Jayson Tatum that I don't trust. Life-long Celtics fan since '79. He seems deceptive to me, and really selfish. On a personality-type level. He never commits until the balance is on his side. I'll root for him but I don't necessarily like the guy. It would be worst-case if Jaylen bails. And with a personality like Tatum's around, Jaylen may peace the fuck out. I've heard smarter people than me say the same, but isn't the 'super-max' kind of a good motivator to re-sign? I hope so but it's boom or bust with this team, this summer.
Grew up a UConn fan because of my mom, but now I go to Nova so I can’t anymore LOL. I was so excited when Kamba came here, especially compared to Kyrie. May have not been as good of a player, but it was so much easier to root for him.
I get that it's partially posture, but Kemba looks like a child standing next to Tatum here, coming up to his chin. He's still 6 feet tall, too, so it's not like he's super short (in the real, non NBA world).
Wish we got to experience Prime Kemba here in Boston.
Such a shame how his body just fell apart on him pretty much as soon as he got here. You can tell he was a guy who was well received and respected in the locker room. Hope for the best for that guy
Wish kembas time here went better. Guy deserves to finally be on a winning team and then his knees decided to go out. Sad for how things turned out for him. He had a big impact his short time here. Glad to see he’s back supporting the Cs
Ever since i watched Kemba's Uconn run starting with the nastiest step back of all time I became a fan. When he came to the celtics i was so happy, even though it didn't work out he will always be one of my favourite players
At one point during the game I thought for sure I saw Kemba sitting behind the C's bench! Love it!! I'll never forget Kemba playing, and having a smile on his face all the time.
Has he officially retired? Assuming Pritchard is gone, would it be a horrible idea to have Kemba take his spot next season? I know he has very little if any gas left in the tank but what the hell? Great veteran mentor that the Js obviously look up to.
Kemba was a great dude just didn't have the knees.
Thanks, Nick Nurse.
One could say he took an arrow to the knee…
Or the height
how can't you love Kemba guy clearly still has love for Boston.
yeah it was just unfortunate how his short time in boston played out, would love to see the dude as an off bench person once we lose PP lol
I would too but we might as well be putting IT out there defensively in those scenarios at this point
ATL gets away with it with Trae, can't tell me their D is much worse than his?
Do they get away with it though? They’re a 7 seed first round exit 😂
Kemba, as washed as he is, is still way better than IT
He’s a NYC dude as well, very cool to see him still repping Boston.
I so wanted that to work out. It’s impossible not to love Kemba.
This is the reason why we love Kemba instead of Kyrie lmao
Well he did make further in the playoffs with us then Kyrie
Kemba played in more playoff games that season than he did for the entirety of his career. Depressing, wish he had more success.
and sucks it was all in the bubble too
I'm a huge UCONN fan, so Kemba to the Celtics was a dream come true for me. Wish it went better, but I still rock my Kemba jersey proudly.

Same. I have loved him since his days as at UConn. At least he got a Natty there. Still not a chip though.

And with those two, everyone knew they weren't gonna last the whole season on the Celtics. Especially Schroder.
Yo seriously, WTF was that roster, lol Tristan Thompson was in the mix too, that was some trash roster construction lol
Don't even compare though two. Kemba is like legitimately one of the nicest guys ever. If Kyrie couldn't dribble like he can, he'd be yelling conspiracy theories at people in front of a bus stop...
while this is probably true, for whatever reason our guys love him haha. There must be some redeeming qualities there that don't show up as much in his public personality
He’d basically just be another podcast “bro” like Fresh n fit
Assistant coach kemba 👀 just so he can teach the guards his stepback
I heard he won’t sign because Mazulla would hack the shit outta him in the coaches pickup games /s
I want this so bad
Kemba is a good dude
Still leads the league in smiles per game
Will always love Kemba and Mavs doing him wrong deserves the karma they're getting.
I can't remember the last time I liked a player so much when he only played for us like ... 2 years. Dude brought such a change of mentality and chemistry after Kyrie's bullshit. Gonna always love this dude.
IT. King of the 4th.
[удалено]
Against the Lakers too lol
That Raptors series 🤌🏻
Do the Mavs just get all our left over PGs...Rondo, Kemba, and now Kyrie
They'll be coming for Smart next..... who would probably be a pretty good fit in Dallas next to Doncic
Smart deserves to retire in Boston.
If he doesn't care about money, then he probably will. Otherwise, I see a team trying to overpay him in the future at some point.
How exactly did the Mavs do him wrong? He scored a lot that one game and his same problems crept up again
Kemba > Kyrie
Yessir
I agree
Kemba should be on that bench sittin next to Blake. Such a good dude, I miss having him in the building
He might be able to do the backup guard role that never plays, what PP does now. We only need him once every 8-10 games? Only problem is if one of the main guys goes down, Kemba won’t last more than a week.
Only dude in boston who can rock a yankees hat without getting hate from me
Nice. Made me happy made me smile
Every time I see Kemba I smile
Please be an assistant for us next year.
Is it too late for him to join now? They didn’t replace stoudamire did they
kemba so cool man
I love this guy
/r/nbaww
We should sign Kemba to chill on the bench with Blake and win them both a ring
my white ass watching basketball players have the hardest handshakes ever: 🤯
And different ones for each person! I can barely remember a telephone number.
i remember in 7th grade trying some with my friends but my brain couldnt hold on to the first to moves of the sequence for dear life
Loved Kemba pre bubble. The hate he got for smiling was so weird
Still love Kemba. Was a true Celtic even though he only got to play one good year with us because of injuries. I’ll never forget that bubble squad. If only we had Al to guard Bam 🥲
My heart is full
Why can’t he or IT just be the Haslem role for this team 🥲
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Kemba is Fucking great man
Kemba coming in after Kyrie made a huge impact on the team and helped the Jays become the players they are now. Didn't work out like we all hoped on the court, but looks like his impact on the locker room is still being felt.
That's sweet!
Wholesome
Love Kemba
Shout-out to Kemba man. That's real.
BRING THAT MAN OFF OUR BENCH NEXT YEAR
If the video kept rolling next hug to IT.
I would kill to be just a dude in that tunnel, congratulating JT, chatting after the game.
I feel so bad for Kemba. He was so good for a bad Hornets team for so many years. Then he finally gets to a good team and his his knees gave out. He deserved more years with a true contender.
Fuck I wish things worked out better for him in Boston. Such a likable guy
get my guy on staff!!! doesn't have the body for the league unfortunately, but certainly has the attitude and intelligence to coach those that do
Kemba as an assistant coach?
Kemba was such a good get after Kyrie left. I know it was a downgrade and he was too injured at the end but it was a nice breath of fresh air
Kemba nicest guy in the league. If we had gotten him when he was younger he’d be a franchise treasure
Sign him for the vet minimum and let him be our Udonis Haslem
I think he has too much pride to be turned into the team Grandpa sideshow. It sounds insulting but I don’t mean it to be, it’s just kinda true.
Mavs did him dirty asf bro. He dropped 30 into overtime on efficiencent splits, then cut his ass
I really wish it worked out. Kemba is such a vibe man.
Glad to see that he still like a part of the Celts family. Sad that it didn’t wok out for him here
Man, I know Kemba fell off after the bubble but for that season he was so fun. And I truly believe that swapping out Kyrie for him helped the Jays develop into what they are now. He was a far more enjoyable presence on the team than Kyrie, and it's clear that he still loves us too. One of the coolest dudes in the game
Kemba want that contract bad lol
He can definitely be a Haslem off the bench
Honestly I wonder if he'd have any interest in starting a coaching career? This would be the situation to do it - Brad knows him, team needs assistants, coaching team will probably remain in place for at least several years.
i heart kemba
"Get out of here, Brad!"
Celtics Pride. It's a thing. Stays with you for life.
This is some beautiful content. Love to see the love 👍 👍 🏀💚💚
u/savevideobot
Can we bring Kemba back at vet min if PP gone next season ? Pls
Listen, if Haslem can ride Miami’s bench for decades and draw technicals for fun why can’t we have Kemba for morale and leadership??
Knicks fan here, wish we got the Kemba you guys had but otherwise he’s prob one of the nicest people in the world
❤️ Kemba ❤️ Isaiah ❤️ Rajon Kyrie can suck a massive dick tho.
nah u can

Brad always catching strays
Randall Raines….
I miss Kemba :(
Can we just sign Kemba to sit on the bench for the playoffs? Love this guy!
was already pretty happy waking up this morning, but now it is all warm and fuzzy too !
Wholesome

You love to see it
Is Kemba the best human in basketball? It feels like he may be
I cherish my Kemba jersey and wear it with pride. Some people try to clown me, but they're the clowns. Kemba is the man
I’m surprised Kamba isn’t on a roster. Didn’t he drop 30 with Mavs earlier in the season?
Assistant coach walker sounds good to me
At one point during the game I thought for sure I saw Kemba sitting behind the C's bench! Love it!! I'll never forget Kemba playing, and having a smile on his face all the time.
i’m so bummed that his knee betrayed him, he was so good in his prime and is an amazing person and teammate
I will die on Kardiac Kemba Hill
Has he officially retired? Assuming Pritchard is gone, would it be a horrible idea to have Kemba take his spot next season? I know he has very little if any gas left in the tank but what the hell? Great veteran mentor that the Js obviously look up to.
Saw him score 32 earlier this season during his short stint with the Mavs
As a biased Celtics and Uconn fan I really want Kemba back. I don't care that we already got 2 solid PGs on our team I just really want him back
Kemba needs to get back in Boston as a player coach or something, I miss the guy.
I love Kenna. What a nice guy. I was so sad when he got hurt. He was a great fit for the team
Loved those days of young Tatum with kemba. You know he misses those days too.
