Kemba Walker's basketball career touched many.
On Tuesday, the former UConn Huskies NCAA national champion and four-time NBA All-Star announced his retirement from the sport.
"I know I couldn't have made it to this point without my incredible support system around me," Walker said in a statement.
In 2011, Walker was selected as the No. 9 overall pick by the Charlotte Bobcats, where he spent eight seasons. The Bobcats later changed their name to the Hornets.
Walker also played with the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks.
