July 18, 2024 by Hoops Hype

Evan Sidery: Hornets legend Kemba Walker said having the opportunity to work with LaMelo Ball was a big reason why he accepted a role on their coaching staff: “If that kid stays healthy, this organization has a chance to go really far.” Walker will be a huge asset in Ball’s development. pic.twitter.com/jfgqbsTlHp

More on this storyline

Nearly every key player on the main roster was present during the Hornets’ 80-66 win over Denver. LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, Brandon Miller, Tre Mann, Seth Curry, Grant Williams, Mark Williams, Cody Martin and Nick Richards all joined president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson and player enhancement coach Kemba Walker for an up-close view of the action, a powerful display of how Hornets’ culture is changing and being reshaped on the fly. -via Charlotte Observer / July 17, 2024
Kemba Walker: “I wanted to let everybody know that I’m retiring man, it’s over. Like, I’m done playing. It was a hell of a run. It was a run that I still can’t kind of fathom today. I can’t believe the things that I’ve done in my basketball career, especially with all the doubt that I got coming in, to all levels. There was always doubt, but I always grinded through it. I always had a great support system to take me through all these obstacles and stuff like that.” -via YouTube / July 6, 2024
Kemba Walker: “My parents, they grinded so much when we were young kids. Me and my siblings, they did anything they could to make sure we had food, clothes, Jordans, whatever. They wanted us to be good, be good outside, make sure we were healthy, make sure we were having fun and enjoying life. I just found out we were poor when I was young. Like, you know what I mean, that’s how great of a job my parents did. My sister was like, ‘We had no money,’ and I was like, ‘For real?’” -via YouTube / July 6, 2024
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sam Permut has been promoted to Vice President and Head of Basketball for @rocnationsports. Permut’s clients include Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, Chris Boucher, Kevin Porter Jr., among others. -via Twitter @wojespn / July 11, 2024
Rod Boone: LaMelo Ball just walked in. Grant Williams and Brandon Miller are also here. -via Twitter @rodboone / June 25, 2024
