I miss 90’s basketball. I think the 80’s and the 90’ were the most entertain eras of basketball. Just in terms of style.. and aggressiveness. I mean look at the dunk contests lately... it doesn’t compare to the explosiveness and style of the guys in the 90’s.
@@TheIcemanthomas he had 10 straight all star caliber years, i think that's long enough. 6x all star. he's better than a lot of hall of famers. Dennis Rodman for 1 (and i think Rodamn belongs, but Kemp was better)
@@TheIcemanthomas Actually, he had a solid career from 1989-1999. He “flamed out rather quickly” after leaving Cleveland. And, he’d hardly be the least-deserved inductee from his era, as, the HoF has been watered down for quite a long time now. I gave up when I heard/read they had voted McGrady in. Honest-to-God, I could’ve sworn it was April Fools Day when I found out. I thought it was a prank. Might as well get Chambers, Kemp and Webber in if they’ve already put Grant Hill and McGrady in.
It's crazy because after the pre season the supersonics wore their new jerseys they changed their logo at the beginning of the 95-96 season i missed these and the jerseys during their finals run
@@TRJ2241987 teams have so many different jersey designs and combos now it's crazy. The 90's era uniforms were the best imo. This era had the most edgy and creative designs. Most teams had traditional home/away jerseys while also have a 3rd alternative options they'd wear for about 10 road games every year. It wasn't overkill like today but still mixed it up with the 3rd jersey every now and then just to keep it fresh.
I didn't know the Bulls played at the Joyce ACC (now known as Purcell Pavilion) back then. Interesting. I know the Bulls and Pacers played there in an preseason game a few years ago. Maybe they were playing there because Shawn Kemp was playing them, and he grew up not that far from the Notre Dame Campus in Elkhart, where he would lead Concord HS to the state title game his senior year, only to lose to Muncie Central HS.
They started wearing the new uniforms in the 95-96 regular season opener. They still wore the old jerseys during the 1995 preseason. I actually loved the 1995-2001 logo, floor design, and uniforms. They should've kept those more than 6 years.
Shawn Kemp has 8 children with seven different women; once in an interview the host ask Shawn what he thought about Destiny's Child, Shawn responded: it's not my child! True story.
Nique hands down. Better all around player, he was a beast in the late 80s very early 90s. The reign man was a specimen though back in his early days. Too bad bigs were kinda one dimensional back then. If kemp had worked on his handles n perimeter game he coulda been special. It wouldve been beneficial to him to have those skills as he aged too. Bangin down low especially back then was taxing.
Kemp always had Rodman's number. He cant guard Kemp one on one. Kemp was having a field day in this pre game without Pippen. Kemp + Payton vs Jordan + Rodman = Sonics win
You're on drugs! Nobody beats Jordan at anything! Apparently you never saw Jordan play or your memory is very foggy! Kemp was having a field day because it was preseason bozo
+Dev Rose Anyone speaks like you haven't seen MJ play. Kemp had a field day in th Finals as well. Because he was the only player putting MVP numbers more than MJ. Oh don't worry I grew up witnessing MJ getting pampered by the NBA since the 80s. Dude could not win in an era when the competition was tougher. 90s = WEAK ERA. STFU kid.
Shawn kemp has no rings00000000 !!!!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!! All he do is dunk!!!!!!!!!!!! Da y he not in da hall of fame!!!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!! Dennis rod man !!!!!!!! Warrior period!!!!!!! 5 rings !!!!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!! Haller famer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!!

One can't say often enough how much the old school is being missed
Amen!!! :(
Shawn Kemp was an athletic beast so ahead of his time... a real freak. How i wish to see anybody to play like he did nowadays.
Greek Freak
Zion is gonna be very Kemp like
Closes is blake
@@Presidentenumerouno
scary just to think Kemp is stronger than Rodman
@@kevinseveneleven no kemp reached 300lbs and father time and was still able to yam the rim and isn't fragile.
The time when superstars played for pre season game..
They just wanted to play just that

those dunks by kemp are insane.
Shawn Kemp would be top 3 on todays NBA
put Kemp in the hall of fame already, jeeeesh. long overdue
nah. He want good for long enough. He flamed out rather quickly. His numbers are average, his accolades are bare. I just dont see it.
For what?
@@TheIcemanthomas he had 10 straight all star caliber years, i think that's long enough. 6x all star. he's better than a lot of hall of famers. Dennis Rodman for 1 (and i think Rodamn belongs, but Kemp was better)

Worm at preseason starts trolling Shawn Kemp
Kemp worked so hard that previous off season. It was no shock the Sonics finally made it to that upcoming finals series.
the Bulls would play the Sonics that year in the finals. The NBA finals with Rodman were the most entertaining of any series.
It's crazy because after the pre season the supersonics wore their new jerseys they changed their logo at the beginning of the 95-96 season i missed these and the jerseys during their finals run
No need to be aggressive in preseason..end of that run: 72 wins, offensive rebounds record in the finals, the ring.. against the Sonics :D
They were aggressive. MJ as good as he was, Bulls will always lose to the Sonics without Pippen.
@@oneyedthing Pippen play all of his game against the Sonics in the Finals
@@jarenmontaos5195
Yes and your point?
@@oneyedthing And your point as well?
@@jarenmontaos5195
It's already up there
Rodman cleaned his nose on Kemp's elbow :D
Best Kemp year
Lol Rodman rubbing his face on Kemp's elbow. If that was LeBron, he'd flop his way to the other side of the floor. 😂
Well said
Lmao 😂
Are you charging LeBron rent for the space he occupies inside your head?
Reign man KEMP!!!
Bruh this is the Pre-Season in 1996, and its more competitive than the Modern NBA's playoffs 🤣
Before Kemp ballooned to 500 lbs.
The air flight athleticism of Shawn Kemp don't even exist in the NBA anymore. Incredible!
You've never seen that _tiny_ little African/Greek fella play have you son?
Kemp had a preseason dunk fest but Rodman had the last laugh.
Zion even runs like Shawn.
Kemp was a fuckin beast
Zion was only a high jumper at his big weight he is not as fast as Shawn Kemp.
Shawn Kemp runs faster than Zion.
Right before the Sonics changed their uniforms.
Sad they did.

Good stuff. Thanks Hoops.
The Sonics still used their old uniforms for the Pre-season that year?
Yep.
Kind of like Phoenix did in 1992-93, Barkley played a few games in the classic style Suns jersey
It's amazing teams used to wear the same uniforms for 20 years, now they hardly wear the same one for a month
TRJ2241987 and that’s why the league is not as good today. It wants to be too edgy and appeal mainly to the hip crowd nowadays.

You asked and answered your own questions, Randy. You’re well-versed in Indiana mens basketball. We get it😒
anyone know when the Sonics switched to new uniforms? They wore the new ones in the finals this season
I wasn't a fan of the new uniform. Same with the Rockets and Knicks too.
They started wearing the new uniforms in the 95-96 regular season opener. They still wore the old jerseys during the 1995 preseason. I actually loved the 1995-2001 logo, floor design, and uniforms. They should've kept those more than 6 years.
@@garryfoulkes6771 Facts but I can bare the Sonics tho
@@coreyrowe2598
It was awful.
Rodman outta here playing and shouting like he knows they will meet in the finals lol
Haha if this dosnt tell you alot, fuckin preseason game more intense then a game 7 in finals nowdays
lol! that elbow on the face of rodman.
"Air" Jordan wanted no parts of Kemp in the "air"!
I miss wonderful years.
Lebron is like shawn kemp. The body muscle very strong. So if Lebron plays in MJ's time maybe lebron don't have championship ring.
It was at this moment Kemp knew he fucked up! Rodman is getting to Kemps mind because it was a heck of sonics points came by all dunks.
Yeah, that makes total sense 😒
The post should say 95-96 preseason
rodman couldnt piss kemp off
Shawn Kemp has 8 children with seven different women; once in an interview the host ask Shawn what he thought about Destiny's Child, Shawn responded: it's not my child!
True story.
My question is
Kemp or Dominique Wilkins?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Orlando Woolridge!
rambosexy2009 nique Dunk on 3 players regularly
Nique hands down. Better all around player, he was a beast in the late 80s very early 90s. The reign man was a specimen though back in his early days. Too bad bigs were kinda one dimensional back then. If kemp had worked on his handles n perimeter game he coulda been special. It wouldve been beneficial to him to have those skills as he aged too. Bangin down low especially back then was taxing.
Nobody had the crashing of Sonics Kemp! Period!!!
Luckily Kemp held back, could have been a life changing event for Rodman.
Rodman would’ve broke his own nose then fought Shawn Kemp 😆
@@livebreatheeatfitnessco.4146 lmao, knowing Rodman, probably.
Who s da men
Rod man
ba ba booey
who's high pitch?
Dennis trying to start some shit
Welp, I fell for this clickbait, ngl 😅
Kemp always had Rodman's number. He cant guard Kemp one on one. Kemp was having a field day in this pre game without Pippen.
Kemp + Payton vs Jordan + Rodman = Sonics win

STFU kid.
There's a reason why Jordan has six championships! Please help me out how many championships did kemp have on the Seattle??? Goose egg!!!

I was talking about match ups. Are you that insecure? Bring your rings somewhere else. You ain't on my level deepshit.

You are sidestepping. Typical. GTFO

Nah, he just lives rent-free in your head
Looks like a playoff game in today's soft ass league.
