Shawn is favorite player of all time. He was a great player even without the dunks and always fun to watch. He should be in the hall of fame.

Best face up mid range game I've ever seen from a power forward. He could iso on you like a guard and get to the basket, or hit the 18 footer.

I have always said that Rodman & Kemp were in the top 10 most athletic basketball players I have ever seen. Basketball players are so damn athletic, it’s unreal. I am or was a baseball guy & I still love watching baseball but boxers & basketball players are on a different level!

@@PauliePinch13Did you ever see Reggie Miller play back in the 90's? He had the most unreal stamina that I've ever seen from a basketball player. He would play almost the entire game without the ball in his hands, running around pindown screens and even in the 4th quarter when his defenders were out of gas, he still was running around at full speed. It was impressive to watch.

@PauliePinch13 3 ай бұрын

@@Davivd2 Yes, I did see Miller play & he is or was 1 of the greatest shooters I have ever seen. I never seen Wilt play but he was a beast from what I saw on KZfaq & people say that he was strong as an ox. Ben Wallace was another strong basketball player, so tough.

I totally agree Kemp was great and what people don't remember 'cause they base everything on highlights is that he was a great shooter as well as a matter of fact in the 96 finals his numbers I'd say were even better than MJ as he was rebounding in double figures as well as scoring 20 points per game and as a Bulls fan I love Chicago won that title but if that ring was for the Sonics he would have been the MVP of the finals no question, in game one in Chicago was a real menace

I was 15 years old during the 1996 finals, Was my first playoff game when Shawn dunked on Rodman. Was tough because I was a huge Jordan and Bulls fan at the time, but being from Seattle, Shawn was the only hometown player I ever liked from The Sonics. Him and Griffey were the only Seattle sports athletes that I liked.

The sickest move that I ever saw Kemp abuse someone with was a game in Seattle. I can't remember who was guarding him but Kemp was on the wing about 20 feet out. Rocking the defender back and forth with his size up dribble and had him backed up deep almost to the key. Kemp drove at him, crossed him up, and then drop stepped into a spin move and dunked the ball. I've never seen a guy 6 foot 10 break ankles like Allen Iverson except for Shawn Kemp. Still to this day, the sickest handles of any power forward.
