Kemba is officially retiring

[HCCForever]

Coach Calhoun stated on WFAN ( a few years back) with Mike that his two favorite players were Kemba and Reggie Lewis. Both loved to practice and Kemba had an incredible love of the game.

The plot twist is 2011 was also the year of Charlie Sheen winning.

So many greats, and my all-time favorite has often vacillated. But I think Kemba is our greatest Husky.

Especially when you consider how young his team was. He took charge and lead them to three tournament championships and no losses outside the league while the freshmen played (if I recall correctly) about 60% of the team's minutes.

really miss that era of college hoops when players stood out, now in this sneaker era pretty much everyone has the same "team edition" of a pro player's signature model. if you look at the sneaker IG pages whenever they do a throwback/classic post of college teams it's always UConn and Arizona players being featured for their style.

For as much as the 2006 team fell short of their potential. Them and Rudy Gay was probably the most popular team in UConn’s history. Kids used to always point to Rudy as to why they liked UConn.

Should make the Hall of Fame when you consider his college and NBA careers combined. What he did at UConn was legendary. 4 time NBA all-star. It's too bad injuries derailed his prime.

Not likely. If he had a better run in Boston and was the Jrue Holliday piece of this year’s team I’d say yes. He just fizzled too hard at the end

I do not have many autographs, but I do have a 2011 NCAA champions hat that Kemba signed at battle for Atlantis. The NBA was on strike that fall and Kemba was in the Bahamas to watch the games.

Just got a notice to this.
