Tru4Life.. Absolutely

Glad to see that someone remembers that. Michael is the overall better player. But Kemp was a beast in the 1996 playoffs and Finals!

Damn Right!

agree, in that season he was a monster

No, Dennis Rodman was. 🤨

He lost

Aaron Gunter I concur

Absolutely. If Seattle had not moved their franchise, Kemp's jersey would be hanging in the rafters. May NBA one day come back to Seattle, and we can all see him get that respect. Even if he doesn't go to the Hall of Fame, and I wish he would, he should get this.

He made me love this game. His explosives... he had something that made me love watching him play, even more than Jordan... and I know how it sounds. :)

@@axelf3130 I was a Kemp fan to. But WOW on your comment.

Younger kids nowadays said MJ beat weak opponents. LMFAO.

Yes,i always waiting for the explosion!

You said it all. :)

Too true, ide rather watch Kemp play than most of today's NBA players. with the exception of Westbrook, and James.

Westbrook?? really?? Good player but not on the same level as Kemp or LBJ, as far as being a fun player to watch.

He had the power of a center with the flare and the athleticism of Domonique Wilkins can’t go wrong with that

@@Bullet122 LOL

Same

💯

Rodman enjoyed it too

Kemp gave Dennis the worm treatment

The Regin Man

Erik the dude looked like big daddy kane and had the swagger to match.

@@lerebele1 Yo spot on.

😂

@@apostolosxaxarinis7215 💋

If he played today his highlight real would be through the roof. Way more space to muscle down and jam. He'd create so many double teams and just swing it to wide open 3shooters.

Kemp has the possibility to be better than duncan

Dennis did tend to irritate Kemp from time to time. but you are right though.

That would explain why he left Longley on an island to guard Kemp. That's a terrible matchup for Longley, about as bad a matchup as I can imagine.

Sonics fans, and Sonics opponents all knew. It's a media thing to be ignorant of realities in the game amongst players, the teams, and people who learn about basketball through the media and not through their own eyes...well, they are rewarded with low-level information.

He would have done that if GP wasn't nursing a knee injury. Between him and McMillan having an injured back, it really limited their 2 best wing defenders.

Young kids nowadays said MJ beat weak opponents.

I don't really remember hearing about him getting hooked on drugs, but I do know he drank a lot of alcohol. He had so much crazy stuff going on during his career. Multiple children by different women, drinking, and eventually weight issues. I love to remember his awesomeness though. He is definitely one of my favorite players of all time.

@@justeping9469 mines too...I really can't believe that he is not inducted into the hall of fame.......he was awesome and one of the greatest players ever in the NBA.......he was sooo very talented....I often watch old clips of him and Gary Payton......these two were a force to be reckoned with!!!!!

@@tonyjones5062 Absolutely! I especially loved watching them go up against the likes of Kevin Johnson and Charles Barkley, and Stockton and Malone. Great entertainment

@@justeping9469 oh hell yes a very strong team.....I really do wish that they would bring back the Sonic's they were one hell of a team

@@justeping9469 He was addicted to crack

82-0 line up right there

Yep! That's the starting lineup I use in NBA2K when I want to destroy the GSW or any other team from the 2000s.

That line-up would sweep the warriors!!!!!

you're the first person I've come across that agrees with my all time starting lineup. Is it the GOAT? No. But every play would be a guaranteed highlight, 100%

1. Maravich 2. Jordan 3. James 4. Jokic 5. Chamberlain So In this team I have 3 of the top 10 best passers ever (1,3,4). I have 4 of the top 10 best scorers ever (1,2,3,5) and the 5th player can also score 30-40 points any given night (4). I have 3 of the top 10 most athletic stars ever at their positions (2,3,5). I have 3 of the top 10 defensive star players ever (2,3,5). I have the best rebounder ever (5) and the rest are all great rebounders for their position. I have 2 of the top 10 highest basketball IQ players ever (3,4). I have 2 of the best point forwards ever (3,4) and a very good point guard also (1). All these players usually have a height advantage for their position (1,2,3,4,5), and so on. The "of the top 10" argument is not based purely on their statistics but altogether ability and statistics. I have 2 centers in the team, but Jokic plays a points center and a stretch center so he spends most of his time playmaking and running around the three point line finding open shooters, cutters or waiting for a pick and roll.

Great point. Kemp performed great in the Finals. T Mac didn't even reach the 2nd round. And he is in the Hall of Fame. Huh?

He didnt do it against Mike, and he lost.. enough with the hype

Young kids nowadays said MJ beat weak opponents. LMFAO.

@@howsway42 He did not lose, Sonics lost. Kemp outplayed Mike in those finals

@@CaesarCassius lmao what?????

Rodman wanted to suck them

I thought that was Kemp's third block on MJ?

Wally really blew it when he signed Jimmy Mac. He should’ve known it was offend Shawn

Beautiful treatise on the reign man. Thank you.

Young kids nowadays say MJ beat weak opponents in the Finals. LMFAO

I thought 96’ was the least competitive of the Bulls 6 titles, or at least, there was the lowest sense of danger of the Bulls losing. The Lakers only won 1 game, but it was the first game so at least they were up then, and they very nearly took a 2-1 lead in the series. Jordan had to hit a difficult shot over Vlade’s outstretched arm for force OT in game 3. The 92’ Finals were even after 4 games, and Portland was up by 15 in the 4th in game 6. The Suns had HCA and were up by 8 in the 4th Q of game 6. A Game 7 would have also been in Phoenix. In the 97’ Finals, 4 of the 6 games went down to the wire (games 2-3 did not). In 98’, only one game (the game 3 massacre) did not go down to the wire. That was a very evenly matched series. The pacing was very slow in those 2 series, not like the three Lakers-Celtics series of the 80s, but I always loved the closeness of the games. You knew most games would go down to the last couple of minutes. I never felt Seattle was really in it, they lost the first 3 games. They made a nice rally to make the series look more respectable, but the only way I thought they had a chance once the series started is if Jordan or Pippen had a serious injury.

Correct.

She doesnt want to give him the jumpshot

she likes the big ones

Arena noise.

His charisma was through the roof. I had never heard him talk before and found him very brilliant and humble but also a little naturally anxious which seemed to be himself. Loved watching him put on the Jacket like a champ and walk off

Bullshit Kemp may been the best in this game not the whole series, That would be Jordan

Kemp was such a team player. He deserved a bigger role, he seemed to just play within the offense without complaint. Pay #40

😏 Nah 👋🏼 The Bulls could have raised their intensity if the Supersonics were healthier ✅ It seemed like they were bored 😴 with them after winning the 1st 3 games and just 🤷🏽‍♂️ wanted to finish them off at home in front of the United Center's crowd.
