[@Grillinnap]

Back when we had a star PF matchup on a nightly basis. Now we have two SF’s starting on each team, which is why the PF position is essentially dead

[@CocheseSha]

It was crazy seeing Jimmy Butler start as a PF when he's really a 2 guard

[@byrongermany3890]

The game is twice as fast now.

[@manimal9871]

Man White Chocolate + C-Webb are so fun to watch together, shame to see such a talent like Kemp only at 31 and was clearly having off court issues and past his prime here. Imagine Chris Webber in today's NBA with his skillset....NASTY

[@stevewilson9778]

I don't know why, but during this era, the Cleveland Cavaliers uniforms, court, and entire aesthetic reminds me of a milk carton.

[@GHOST91141]

😂😂

[@Joseph-lz5er]

Cavs jersey and the Magic jersey, too.

[@DJVijilante]

So this was after Kemp's injury and weight gain. Would love to see a Seattle Kemp vs. Webber and a Kemp vs Garnett.

[@thecheck4879]

What injury?

[@DJVijilante]

@@thecheck4879 Kemp had some type of knee injury, subsequent surgery that hindered his career. Comes to find out everyone thought it was his weight, but nope! 👎🏾

[@etuboldon]

@@DJVijilante ummm.... he had a coke addiction, hence the weight gain and the subsequent knee pain. When he left Orlando in 2003 it wasn't to get surgery and rehab his knee.

[@DJVijilante]

@@etuboldon oh coke made Kemp gain weight. He’s the only one that ever happened to…

[@stan_ozolol]

​@DJVijilante no He gained weight during 1999 lockout. He had some drug issues, which basically led to ending his career

[@MrTrininick098]

I can watch Kemp vs Webber all day

[@MDBBall]

👍

[@RightInFrontOfYou]

Forreal

[@BKNY84]

Meh. So many jumpers. They should have developed better post moves, especially Webber. Kind of a waste of incredible physical talent.

[@yueken4373]

2 of the best power forward of alltime💪🏻👍🏻💪🏻

[@hualien0403]

Kemp would have made it to the hall if he didn't have those off court drug problems

[@stan_ozolol]

​@@hualien0403he deserves to be there. Watch 1996 NBA finals. He was playing great 👍

[@RightInFrontOfYou]

And no one went to the floor ftom their feet, only from the air to their azz. In other words, NO FLOPPING, unless Vlade was playing. One of the flopping originators.

[@Joseph-lz5er]

Chris Webber vs Fat Kemp.

[@gamorgan5618]

Thank you for this footage 🙏🏽

[@georgestamatakis697]

Kemp was close to 300 pounds at this stage of his career

[@byrongermany3890]

He was 6 months pregnant 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@stan_ozolol]

Yes Sad to see him overweight

[@stan_ozolol]

Damn he was able to run and dunk with all the extra weight 😳

[@SniffyPoo]

wanna forget the 'fat kemp' era

[@vicecityveto]

Webber listed weight was 245 ain’t no way. That dude was at least 260 . He could move too

[@hualien0403]

A prime C-Webb vs a declining Reignman

[@timhoward5]

*The battle of the #4 Power Fowards.*

[@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan]

They are true 4's unlike Barkley Duncan KG Dirk ...PF should be around 6'8 to 6'9 and play with power just like Webb Malone Kemp are.

[@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan]

many ppl dont know webber first games wore #88 cause "big nasty" was number 4

[@timhoward5]

@@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan I knew his number was #88, but the other guys mentioned did not wear the #4 except for Barkely.

[@hualien0403]

@@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan You just don't know shit about basketball. Barkley played better than most taller players

[@Autumn.Sun.Eclipse]

I didn't realize Webber was such a good shooter.

[@coreyrowe4119]

Cavs had a decent homecourt and logo during this era but they should've kept the 1994-1999 era unis instead of introducing the painfully bland looking 1999-2003 era unis.

[@Zj2030]

Would you take those unis over todays? I honestly can’t even answer that question lol

[@coreyrowe4119]

@@Zj2030 not the 1999-2003 unis but maybe the 1994-1999 ones

[@hualien0403]

They had the best jerseys during Lebron's first stint

[@damonsonnier34]

Chris Webber won this one on one matchup in scoring, defense, and efficiency.

[@PIP...33]

HE HAD SUPERTEAM. ILGAUSKAS IS ALMOST GOOD AS DIVAC AND SABAS BUT COULD NOT STAY HEALTHY. IF KEMP STAYED IN SHAPE ILGAUSKAS LESS IN HOSPITAL THEY ALREADY HAD BEST PASSER IN NBA ANDRE MILLER THEY COULD BE SOLID. EAST WAS WEAK. THEY COULD BE IN CONF FINALS.

[@timhoward5]

*Well, Kemp was waaay past his prime, and as you also can see, his weight size. While Webber was at the beginning of his prime.*

[@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan]

@@PIP...33 This was not yet that SAC with Christie and Peja . This was old school role players around Vlade and C-Webb. I agree tho that Bibby Christie Divac Webber and Peja were almost like a superteam they did not had big 3 but starting 5 is loaded . No one was role player in lineup. Every night other guy was superstar. Best team in history the way basketball should be played.

[@tylerriley2587]

Kemp was putting on weight at the time

[@googlemyself4091]

@@timhoward5 Kemp was 31 years old here. He wasn't past his physical prime. He was just fat, was a drunk, and was on cocaine.

[@rbfclaboratoryandstudio]

Kemp here is already only a shadow of his former self. What a let down for Cleveland fans at the time. Kemp didn’t deserve all that PT to be honest, he should have already been cut. He isn’t just grossly overweight, his skills are gone.

[@hualien0403]

Coincidentally he and Vin Baker both declined during the shortened 99 season

[@TRJ2241987]

Shawn Kemp was under the impression the 1999 season was being cancelled completely and was not training for basketball in his off time. I think this was the case for several players in that era

[@rbfclaboratoryandstudio]

@@TRJ2241987 yeah, but you can’t let yourself go that badly in the offseason regardless. I know it’s not easy, but that’s the difference between who he is regarded today as a great player and what he could have been as one of the all time greats at the PF position. - Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, even Detlef Schrempf… all maximized their potential by keeping themselves healthy deep into their 30’s.

[@마메보이]

좋은 영상 감사합니다

👍

[@hello.gumption]

Out of shape Kemp is still incredible though. He ran the floor effortlessly and had good defensive iq. His Cavs stop is underrated imo.

[@UFOsAreRealArea51]

❤😎💯💪🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿

[@carlosvazquez5196]

This was my dream matchup. Webber ve Kemp. Unfortunately kemp got fat and out of shape too soon in his career

[@buravan1512]

KEMP was at least 40 pounds heavier.

[@SportsMusicCars]

We all know Bronny is the GOAT, right?

[@DJVijilante]

[01:44]: Kemp travel

[@GrandinquisitorIK]

Even prime Kemp was no match for Webber. Webber is up there with Barkley, Malone. Kemp is just Vin Baker, Derrick Coleman level

[@ThanhLE-wu4yk]

It's closer that what you think. Prime Kemp was a better defender than Webber. While being a bit less efficient Webber was better on offense than Kemp (better scorer, more versatile, a much better passer)

[@Dot-jy5li]

Man kemp would've gave it to webber in Seattle

[@GrandinquisitorIK]

@Dot-jy5li lol no and he didn't.

[@raurmanproductions3438]

Some of these foul calls are just pathetic, on both sides. Hard to watch and it's much worse now.

[@shalierichardson5812]

I’m taking Webber over Kemp
