    Re: What exactly happened to Shawn Kemp?

    yeah yall people are right about shawn kemp. i mean man he used to be one of the top 5 power fowards in the 90's. he was an all-star, play for the nba championship in 96 finals, and was a good athletic player for a 6 foot 10 nba player who could dunk and run pretty good. i guess that what happen when you go to portland and stop preparing yourself to become a good nba player.

          He really was the most exciting player in the NBA.

          I was watching his 93' playoff performance the other day on ESPN classic, it was insane.

          Kemp scored 20+ and it was all on dunks, he looked like an entire different class of athlete. Those types of players just don't come around very often.

          Barkley had a pretty damn good game though, but it was Kemp that made your jaw drop.

          The memories of why he was my favorite player and I used to own all his shoes come back.

          It really is sad that him and Payton couldn't stay together for longer.

                  You know your wrong for that one. But in all seriousness Kemp was one of the most ferocious players in the paint I have ever seen. The great thing was even though he was near 7'0(6'10) he could still perform dunks that didnt look awkward. I just remember watching Inside Stuff's Jam Session every week and hearing the Sonic announcer going crazy everytime Kemp would dunk on someone.

                  Kemp & Payton were the funnest two players I've EVER seen play. And their games both changed once they were separated. All of because of yes Jim McIlvaine. Nobody in the NBA could stop Payton to Kemp, EXCEPT Jimmy Mac. How sad.

                      Amare Stoudemire reminds me alot of a young Shawn Kemp, the Sonics of the mid-90's were great teams..unfortunatly a guy by the name of Jordan was still playing in the league (don't forget the year the Sonics got bounced in the play-offs to the 8 seed Denver Nuggets). Michael Jordan is the reason why Ewing, Kemp, Payton, Barkley, Miller, Malone, and Stockton have no rings.*

                              coke doesnt make you lose weight! Addicts who are middle class -poor usually spend all their loot on the drug. Kemp had plenty of money so he ate good.

                              Kemp was overrated btw he usually faded in big games and he fouled out too much.
                              Without GP he wasn't the same, turn him baseline and instant turnover!

                              He did have a great finals against the Bulls, I thought after that he would be the man but he fell way off!
