“I’m about competing for championships and winning...I felt like Boston was the best fit for me to try and accomplish those goals” -Kemba Walker on joining the Celtics

Adam Himmelsbach@AdamHimmelsbach

Kemba on @SportsCenter: "It was a really tough decision but it was something I had to do in order to fulfill some dreams of mine and compete."

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps

Kemba Walker on @notthefakeSVP "​I gave that organization every single thing I could give them. Now it's about competing at the highest level & we all know Boston is doing that year in & year out. I want to be part of something special in terms of competing at the highest level"

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

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.

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