Good to see a franchise reward loyalty. This is what has to happen both ways for the NBA to get back to legendary franchises competing, rather than superteams. Hopefully GS gives Steph a serious role after he retires.

🫡to Kemba!!! What a awesome college🏀 career and getting the opportunity to live out his dream in making it to the NBA. Playing 12 seasons is a blessing!!!

[jobeytodd]

He had no help his entire career. He should have left the Hornets in his prime to a contender. He's one of many former players that should have at least 1 ring.CONGRATS on retirement.!

Glad yall giving that man his flower the instagram comments were full a bunch of hating weirdos calling him all sort of names and saying he was a failure but this man was an all star, top 10 pg at one point, made millions, and had a long career.
