Me too. He maybe wasn't the best of the best but he brought something that cannot be put into statistics : the fun. To me, Shawn Kempt is the embodiment of the reason why I love basketball. It is sometimes brutal, animal, athletics (which the today's 3pts shoot contests that take place in almost every game are not) and above all fun to watch. So, thank you Shawn Kempt.

Back in those days in London, NBA was only shown on the Tv once a week Saturday 11:00am -11:45am. When I saw Shawn do his dunks, his haircut, and his childhood story, I was hooked. His dunk style was so unique and aggressive it remind me a mix between martial arts and hiphop specifically Onyx the rap group around that time. Man, I remember my weekly pocket money was £7.50 and I saved that god knows for how long to buy the 95-96 Kemp jersey for £60. Perhaps you should do a video about "if you get a chance to own your fav jersey, who's would it be?"

Kemp has a strong dunk image, but he's also good at mid-range shots and free throws. If it weren't for all the problems, he was a talent that could have been the best PF of all time. His physical ability, as well as his ball handling for a big man, was good, and his skills were high. Personally, he's my favorite PF player. He was the 1990s version of Vince Carter and Blake Griffin.

I went to High School with Shawn and it was incredible to see him take his outstanding High School abilities and elevate them (pun intended) to what he did with Seattle. WIth all of the teams that were brushed aside by the Jordan, Pippen, Rodman led Bulls team during that era, they probably played against that legendary lineup as good as any team in the NBA could hope to.

Nice episode. Kemp definitely had some ups. It's pretty normal seeing short players leap like crickets, but Kemp could jump so high that he had all sorts of time in the air to think it all out. Most players just don't spend that much time in the air. He defines above the rim in my book. Dominique had it.

Imagine if you will this is 1984 and just moved to Elkhart Indiana for a job. Going down some of the streets in Elkhart there was this gangly Young kid on a moped, which was legal in Indiana at the time if you were 13 years old or older without a license. You'd see him around Elkhart. Can you imagine a 6'8"-6'9" Sean Kemp on a moped a 50cc moped? He went to Concord High School and you would see him at Pierre Moran Mall quite a bit and he was always very nice young gentleman easy going and would talk to any one that spoke with him. Doesn't look like he's changed one bit over the years. Just always a really really nice gentleman.

My favorite player of all time. Someone I looked up to. In my book #1 Kemp, #2 M.J. I remember getting up early in the morning to see the game. Slept 3h after the match and then woke up at 6 a.m. to go to high school. Still have his Kamikaze shoes, his poster when opening my wardrobe, Sonics winter cap and his jersey. It’s hard to remember when he wasn’t inside the nba on top 10. Also when he blocked MJ. MJ was running, took off at the same time Shawn made one step, they both went up, MJ started falling down, Kemp was still hanging up, after the MJ released the shot, followed a great block. Pity he had to leave Seattle and it ended up this way. I remember visiting Seattle. He was no longer playing. Man, just being in the Key Arena watching Seattle Storm vs Connecticut Sun, got me so many memories back of him, got goose bumps. Thanks for all the great memories Shawn.

Its fun to watch Blake Griffen and CP3, but it was better seeing the original Gary Payton to Shawn Kemp lobs. And they played defense too! People sleep on those Seattle teams but they were one of the most successful franchises in the 90s before the NBA decided to relocate them

The first time he came in I was star struck but noticed he had put on a lot of weight... Wasn't sad just wanted to tell him to get back in shape and dominate. Maybe it coulda helped him a bit. He came in weekly buying groceries with 3 same Caucasian guys... Then I learned they was his roommates and he was in rehab for alcohol. That broke me a bit

@3:00 Kemp...like an Eagle's claws snatching a fish out of water...lol. Juwan Howard was like F*ck let me get back on defense now lol. ***Kemp at the height of his powers on the USA team alone deserves it's own video***

I don’t watch the NBA since we lost the SuperSonics but this brings back some great memories.💚

I remember when I just started getting into sports I didn't really know or favor any one player or team because it was essentially all new to me. Then I got NBA Jam on Sega Genesis and I discovered the Seattle Supersonics! Since I could never do what he did I mirrored my playing style to Gary Payton then later on Jason Kidd but I always felt like Shawn Kemp was the greatest "what if" as a fan. He had all the athletic ability and was actually a pretty damn good shooter. Had I not seen this video I would have forgotten he played with Tracy McGrady, another one of my favorite players who was also a big "what if". It's just crazy how much time goes by so damn quickly that you may miss certain things so I'm glad to see channels like this that make me reflect and remember what I grew up on

I grew up in the 90's had many jerseys. From Drexler when he joined the Rockets, to Ewing, to Olajuwon, to Penny. Shawn Kemp was my dude in the 90s. The guy was something else.

Even as a small kid in the 90’s and growing up without tv, me and my brothers were big fans. Never got to watch them play but We played the N64 game called NBA Hang Time and would always play with the Sonics. Kemp, Payton and Schrempf!

Sean David your a great man. Love how you bring the 80s and 90s basketball back. Do you have an episode on MJ & Pip? My two favorite players always. It was fun reliving the Reignmans dunks and highlights. Loved Shawn Kemp even though I was a Bulls fan growing up. Nostalgia. How lucky was my generation to watch the NBA back in the 80s and 90s

I got to see Kemp play in his last year in high school, in Lagrange,Indiana. He was playing Lakeland high school. He had 26 points at half time in that game. At some point, towards the end for him self, I wish he would of taken better care of him self and played longer. At one time, he had it all. Love you brother. ❤

moved to seattle in 1990 and wasn't much of an nba fan at the time. was much more interested in college hoops but caught my first game on the tv playing in the background at a new friend's place and was transfixed. the playground style of payton and kemp was so refreshing to see. was a diehard sonic fan from that point on. haven't watched a game since the sonics left. if they ever come back, i feel like i'll have to completely relearn the game in it's current form. so much has changed, but it would be great to have interest in my fav pro sport again.

Growing up in Washington State the Seattle SuperSonics were my first sports team I followed. Absolutely a pure joy to hear the games called by Kevin, Payton throwing the alley oops to Reign Man. You know, flying chickens in a barnyard yo.
