“I’m boring, man. I don’t like doing much,” Walker said. “I don’t want to be a coach. If anything, I just want to be maybe behind the scenes. Developmental.

He just wants to keep playing as long as the league will have him, just like Vince Carter, who is 43 and only just retired this season.
“I want to play as long as I can,” Walker said. “I want them to say: ‘Kemba, you can’t play no more. We’re kicking you out of the league.’ I want to be one of those guys to try and get up there like Vince. I want to be the guy at the end of the bench, clapping for my young guys. ‘Let’s go.’”
Great article on Kemba.
He may not want to coach looking forward now but when his playing days are over it would not surprise me to see him coaching in college where his motivational skills might be incalculable.
