I like that he said "we all know Boston is doing that (competing) year in year out." Love that we have an All-Star who wants to be here

Here's a link to the whole interview: https://twitter.com/HornetsGIFs/status/1145529523095707648

Edit: After watching, it's refreshing having such a down-to-earth guy as the face of the franchise.

To be fair to everyone else we signed, they always say that when they get signed. Kyrie said the same, as did Al and Gordon. Kyrie even waived his trade kicker to come here. My hope is that Kemba is a keeper and he still wants to be here 2 years from now, and longer. Maybe we will be retiring a point guard's jersey here one day...just not No.11.  ;D
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Kyrie said the same, but it's not really that easy to believe when he got traded here.
