Shawn Kemp after Seattle, Was He Any Good?

[@duckheadfoot]

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.

[@mariorodriguezjunior]

4 rookies, big Z missed the whole previous season with injuries, he played in the rookie game Kemp's first year with Cleveland & won MVP.

[@oakshrorgaming]

Paul Pierce after the Celtics, Rodman after the bulls, Clyde drexler in Houston, the glove after Seattle, Dell Curry in general, drazen petrovich in general

[@Doodbroy]

Clyde won a ring with Houston tho

[@martinli198]

I'm pretty sure the glove won a championship with the Heat in '06

[@gabrielmachado1343]

Daaanm reaally good ideas bro

[@oakshrorgaming]

@@Doodbroy yeah, he's the only person I listed that is a guaranteed yes (along with drazen) still interesting to go in depth on his time though

[@oakshrorgaming]

@@martinli198 he did but like he wasnt anywhere close to his prime and averaged like 5ppg across the 2 years in Miami

[@BoxiesAU]

Kemp at 32 looked 40. I thought when he was with the Magic he was pushing late 30's.. Wow.

[@kylev938]

It was dem 7 babies with 6 different baby mamas that did it probably

[@SeanFerrell]

The '98 lockout ruined his career. He also had drinking problems in his last season in Seattle. After the lockout ended in January '99, he told the Cavs he thought they weren't coming back because he was over 300.

[@GeoDude24]

How (*good* ) was Jason kidd on the Knicks or his second stint on the mavs? Won't stop until it happens

[@lebonzorjames9499]

I mean shit second Stint Jason Kidd won a championship so you could count that as a win

[@andywrekker6689]

Regardless, still my favorite player of the 90's!

[@stephenleverett1467]

Sad but true video. My favorite player in his time.

[@noemorales8330]

I would like to see a video about Scottie Pippen after the Chicago Bulls.

[@jamesalcantara4217]

he's not that great anymore but he still good in Portland.

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

In Cleveland in 98-yes From 1999-2003 as a Blazers: No

[@Classicbasketballdvds]

I think he was still pretty good up until about 99/00, his last year in Cleveland. Once he got traded to Portland, it was a wrap

[@danielcurry4011]

Still was decent ,but Seattle days extremely awesome and talented Shawn Kemp was. 1995-96 Seattle Supersonics my all time favorite team

[@joeball13]

Id like to see pippen in portland and houston, barkley in houston ,as well as drexler you could do a special three for one episode on all of those aging rockets players. What about Dennis rodman for his brief time with the Lakers and Mavericks and basically everyone during his early 2000s come back that was short-lived. 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.

[@Stasis_lmao]

Love the content, shows big promise, Since you mentioned him in the video how about a Pat Ewing in Orlando/Seattle video, I think everyone knows he was washed in lando but there’s a lot of people who don’t even know he played in Seattle

[@zandermartin3445]

I want so see Gary and Malone on the Lakers, do two in one video, or…Phillip Rivers/Wentz/Ryan/Brisset on the Colts. One of the four vet quarterbacks they brought in after Luck and before they drafted AR5, I’m a colts fan so I’d love to see one of those 4, Phillip especially

[@pullupjumper7]

Third time is the charm bro, keep going‼️💪

[@mariorodriguezjunior]

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.

[@gregrowe1168]

I didn’t realize how much weight he gained. His body just wasn’t built to handle that much beef. He needed to be lean to be explosive. Imagine Blake Griffin ballooning to 300 lbs. He would be totally ineffective.

[@colbymorrison75]

Bro is on the grind 🔥

[@insurgencybuffoonery8065]

I’m from Seattle and am a quasi Blazers fan who can’t wait for the Sonics to return. I absolutely The Rainman, The Glove, The X-Man and Mac-10.

Cool cool

[@danielelez4863]

C-Webb in Philadelphia would be an interesting video

[@tenzinalexander]

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.

Cleveland was his last good season ! I forgot he ran with The Jail Blazers 😂

[@kaijudirector5336]

How about one on post-Achilles tear Kobe?

[@oakshrorgaming]

@@kaijudirector5336 I'ma go against the majority and say no he wasn't and was actually a detriment to the team. He still got points but he was just a chucker who couldn't accept his prime was done. If his name wasn't Kobe, he would have been a bench sparkplug

[@gregrowe1168]

Kobe tried to keep playing to get the all time scoring record. He did pass MJ so I guess he can always say that. Not being able to catch Karl Malone probably ate at him until he died. He really hated him.

[@fpinkgirlfun34]

Im confused did or did he not play any college basketball and if not how did he get drafted

[@YoungMoneySports]

He didn’t play college basketball at all. He attended UK and that community college for 1 semester each. He declared once his freshman year of college was over.

@@YoungMoneySports he was on the finals team. You mentioned him being traded in the comment on their blown season after.

[@injintu]

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.

[@andywrekker6689]

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.
