Kemp's first year in Cleveland was actually a pretty big success. He became the first ever Cavalier to start in the All-Star game (the second was LeBron James in 2005)! He led a team that was starting 3 rookies to the sixth seed in the East. I think he should have made the All-NBA 3rd Team that season. The future looked bright in Cleveland with such a young roster. But then the lockout happened, and it was all downhill after that. Odd that he had a career high in points in his fat year, maybe the extra bulk was actually helpful down in the post. However he lost his biggest advantage, his athleticism, and declined severely following that season.

Also Vin Baker when he played for the Celtics or anytime after Seattle. Also I would like to see Antoine Walker and Jason Williams once they left the Celtics and Kings respectively. I just found your page tonight, so I apologize if you've already made any of these.

The benchmark for all-star power forwards in the '90s was 20&10. Shawn Kemp was a superstar, one of the young faces of the league during the MJ era of dominance, but strangely, he never quite achieved 20.0ppg in Seattle, the closest he got was his best season, 95/96, when his avg was 19.6ppg, but he did avg just under 12 boards with 11.9rpg that same season, his career high.

I remember the GM and execs and Kemp met and discussed his contract and they asked him if he thought it was fair to make that amount. Can't remember what he said but it seems like he wanted a new start, and I think the execs were also urging him to make a new start to revitalize his career. He lost a lot of weight but he got into trouble again when drug tested in Orlando.

If Shawn Kemp only had a brain...what could have been... Shawn could dunk and that was it. Extremely athletic, and what a treat it was to watch him until you realized that he could do nothing else. The rebounding didn't make up for his shortcomings (10 rebounds). I remember watching a game live once and Shawn (playing for the Sonics) punched the ball during rebounding as he tried to score. Yes, instead of rebounding or tipping the ball, he PUNCHED it. He was called for a technical foul. Shawn was the kind of guy who would grab his crotch after scoring. Shawn was the kind of guy who preferred to eat as opposed to staying in shape. There have been a lot of players who can't stay in shape in he NBA, but Shawn's story was the saddest, as we found out that not only was he a foodie, he was also an alcoholic and a coke addict. I hope he has overcome those addictions, but the Sonics got rid of him for a reason. I agree, Mr. Young Money Sports...he was serviceable for a short while.
@andywrekker66893 ай бұрын
Shawn Kemp could dunk and that was it, huh? Kemp was a capable scorer, developed a jumper, was a preety good defender, and was a good rebounder. Outplayed greats in the playoffs like Karl Malone and Hakeem Olajuwon. And in my opinion, he outplayed Michael Jordan in the finals. Ultimately Kemp just ruin his career.
