How do I explain to people that my goat is Kemba Walker?

Honestly I just say it proudly. Some respect it, some question it. Real ones understand

I saw Kemba in a grocery store I worked at. Had a hoodie over his head and a behemoth "bodyguard" with him.
I talked to him for a second at the counter, and I didn't recognize him until he looked up at me. He was a nice dude, and I made sure not to take up too much of his time.
The crazy thing is how small he is! Dude was like 5'11 and looked like he weighed 175 lbs. He looked like someone you'd play with at the park lmao.
What an absolute fucking assassin to be able to do that shit at his size. He was a joy to watch, and I wish him nothing but the best wherever he goes

I’d give anything to see Kemba suit up in the teal and purple one last time 😔

Cam’s “I’m back” was one of the peak Panthers moments in team history.
Even if the star isn’t what he once was, damn if it doesn’t feel good to have one last ride.
I’d love Kemba here one more time. He’d take a back seat. He’d smile. He’d lead. He’d teach. He’d show what it takes to be a pro.
My favorite Hornet ever. Thanks Dad.

Man Kemba is probably my favorite player behind J kidd. Was basically the only reason I followed basketball after kidd retired but the difference between them is kemba seemed like he bled Charlotte and being from charlotte, he was the first person to make me want to rep charlotte

I’m partial to Marvin cuz of the UNC connection but obvs Kemba is the goat for Hornets

u/TheMoistiestMonk 20d ago
Yeah I understand. Marv was the OG and I feel like nobody truly understands how goated he was

A lot of people understand that, you're just probably born after 2005 so you don't know a lot of people who know ball.

u/TheMoistiestMonk 20d ago
I did write that pretty vague, but yeah you're right people do know. In the moment I was thinking 'nobody' as hornets fans, esp the newer ones

Sucks to know we couldn’t get prime Kemba the type of talent that this current roster has, he definitely would have been a great leader for the young guys and taken us somewhere.
Instead he had to compete with Dwayne Bacon, Cody Zeller, and Frank Kaminsky.
