@@danajones731 Someone of veterans - it was Kobe, or TMac - told - if MJ played in this actual time, he would get 60 points easy in almost any game, with all new NBA rules. There is no diffence now. No phisical game. Team owners afraid of overpaid players injuries. Thats how league changes. Thats why US team was only 7th in WC2019. With all NBA starters in its roster. I cant believe if such team could lost any WC in early 90s with 2nd 3rd line starters, i mean not dream team..

Great last clip. Respect on the court.

[@theflyinghammer]

Blocks Jordan scores at the other end. Slams it hard on pippen, barkley and matumbo. Insanely powerful athlete. Legend

[@Baertown]

​@@LovethyNeighbour1011you must be a kid with the pause shit! Real men don't have to say that nonsense!

[@MADNEWYORKER914]

Kemp was a beast on the court!!!

[@juanpenas7800]

Huge respect, this guy was a monster, dominating, powerful beast.

[@MIHYLLC]

I've not seen many that are as comfortable on the court as this guy! He's a monster💪

[@youflatbro7498]

No one was more savage than the Reign Man. It seems like just yesterday I was in the Coliseum watching The Glue, The Glove and Reign Man.

Shawn Kemp should be in the HOF. He was the most explosive, athletic, entertaining power forward in the mid 90s. During away games he would stun the crowd with his ball handling skills and athleticism. The murmur created by 15,000 unsuspecting fans gasping simultaneously is unmistakable. At home games he and Gary Payton would electrify the crowd to a point of absolute frenzy. Kemp was the best player overall in the 1996 NBA Finals, eclipsing even Michael Jordan. Some people will say, "Yeah, great dunker, but he didn't accumulate HOF stats." I get it, but I can say with certainty that those same people obviously never actually watched Shawn Kemp when he played in Seattle. Even with a career shortened and diminished due to person problems, Kemp scored more than 15,000 points and grabbed nearly 9,000 rebounds. The guy is undeniably a basketball legend.

Happy Birthday Shawn 5️⃣0️⃣

[@henrystarks7673]

Shawn The Reign man Kemp is the reason why I started watching the NBA. He made it look like you were watching a Video game the way he Dunked !

[@Maurice76746]

Kemp should be in the hall of fame, he's better than some who are already in.

[@nasserudasan7615]

10:54 that is the friendliest posterizing dunk I've ever seen😂

[@stan_ozolol]

Gatling did a great job defending the rim.

[@richardcollins2622]

John Starks’ reaction at 7:55 when he gets dunked on is hilarious. He knew he had been put on a poster and he quickly tried to act like it wasn’t him. 🤣🤣🤣
