My favorite NBA power forward of all time! Nobody, and I mean, nobody has ever had as much style and tenacity before and after his powerful dunks! Today's NBA needs the Reign Man, Mr. Shawn Kemp!
Kevin Calabro and Marquis Johnson were the best duo ever. We were so lucky in Seattle to listen to them. Check this out, not only did Kemp dunk way more often than most people think (multiple times per game) but they got excited every single time. So much fun. ruclips.net/video/JmpJ5432zo4/видео.html
The amount of talent pervading the Jordan generation was electrifying to say the least!!! It was the best generation ever. This dude was an absolute marvel. A freak of nature. He needs to be considered for the NBA Hall of Fame very soon. The Seattle Supersonics were one of the most feared teams in the NBA during the 90s. Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton were the leaders of that incredible team.
@@werearethedreamteam3724 Kemp was a freakish combo of Dominique's Power, and Jordans sleekness cat like agility. Had 9-10 years of greatness in the NBA. Put him in the HOF now!
IKR and they also uphold this myth that the league was slower and big men couldn't run blah blah blah...utter nonsense, kemp was 6'10" malone 6'9" scottie 6'8" the admiral was 7'1" hakeem 7.0" even young shaq the lighter version was a beast running up and down the court. funny thing though as physical as the league was back then, injuries sure seemed to be fewer when compared to the league today where guys are resting taking games off and missing nearly entire seasons because of injuries that rarely plagued the league back when it was far more physical and played at a fast pace. i miss those days man seriously
@@stevenwilliams3928 they train their jumping abilities with the best methodes these days, but ligaments remain the same resulting in more severe injuries.. I do think you are right about the top players
One of the most talented, athletic, explosive, emphatic players/dunkers of his generation. Dude could really jump out the Gym and play with the best of them, and all this when the NBA league was a Grown Man Game.🏀
I think he’s a king of dunks because of his range. He can come in for a landing from distance and also if he’s close to the net just standing there he can hop in his elevator and drop it. Crazy power on his jumps even from a standstill.
Shawn Kemp is the only guy who repeatedly dunked on Dikembe. Charles Barkley seemed confused after Kemp posterized him. wondering why he is not on Hall of Fame.
Kemp is probably the most underrated player ever. Led the Sonics to the finals in 96 and nearly stole the finals MVP off Jordan. Best record for the league with the Sonics. Dominating rebounds, blocks and points always in the top 10. Kemp and the Sonics beat all the best teams in Western conference. Olajuwon and the Rockets, Malone and the Jazz, Barkley and the Suns, Robinson and the Spurs. In my view he should be ranked much higher than Malone in the power forward rankings.
"HO-LY CO-OW!! ... oooooo mine". I remember i got real crazy seeing this play on the NBA Action courtside countdown from that week. Every week Shawn had one play there. Best SWAGGER of ALL TIME! Young kids will never understand.
Not to mention the reverse dunks he did coming threw the lane ! I've yet to see any of the current players that's in the league right now do this and that's to include Blake Griffin !
It makes me sad that some people missed out on watching Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, with Kevin Calabro commentating. It was like a perfect storm of awesomeness.
Blake's full court dribble is suspect as hell..... Kemp could take it from the offensive ebound, dribble behind his back, maintain his speed.....them BLAM on your man
I was so lucky to watch Kemp in his prime, every game you couldn't take your eyes of the screen cause you would miss him doing an amazing play. Props to Shawn Kemp an amazing basketball player.
The thing with today's taunting is that there's too much ego involved. Taunting was done in a classy way before. Even the opposition gave you props. Nowadays players aren't humble enough to give credit where due. Especially not after being dunked on in the face.
Not really. He was a big time player in Seattle and Cleveland. After his stints with Seattle and Cleveland, his performance and numbers declined rapidly. From what I remember, Cleveland made him their franchise player and gave him a $100M contract. He gained a ton of weight that he couldn't shed off. He also lost his passion and discipline for the sport. Became a role player and a journeyman.
3 Things were gone after Supersonics departure: - Payton & Kemp lobs, alley oops, all memories. - Legendary Seattle crowd. - Kevin Calabro's voice after a Kemp dunk. They all changed to Oklahoma Thunder crap, shame.
I saw this one live ruclips.net/video/baXIBB4cE8E/видео.htmlm20s Game 7 of the 96 Western Conference Finals, the whole crowd knew what coming after the steal... and it was the loudest I have heard a basketball crowd to this day...
@@WDE1121 Nique was nasty as hell too. For me anyhow, a lot of VC dunks were fast break windmills and 360s or wide open alleys where he got behind the defense. Sure he had some great poster dunks as well but Kemp and Nique were sometimes dunking on entire teams - over and through them.
His honorable mention dunks should have been in the top 50 and his dunk on Rodman in the 96 finals, which doesn't even appear here should have be in the top 5
Years go by and still amazing to watch! Underrated and should be talked about a lot more. I used to go watch him at the Key and it was just electrifying, we the fans just went berserk.

@@MozTheBoz That damn English exercise they made you do finally paying off....

also one of the most stylish ever. People seem to overlook that.
Sure you can outrun him on open court but you can't stop him. He's the Jimi Hendrix of basketball.
verry very savage btw great comment up there
Eren Nazir for me is the second beloved player of nba after jordan
Shawn Kemp was a brutal, ferocious, and an extremely violent dunker. He was powerful and a straight up raw athlete.
Kevin Calabro's voice fits this perfectly.
Plus he was crafty

For real. I think it's also the way his body looks. He moved gracefully for a man that big and filled out.

@@Denka187 Had to play Center with the Cavs because of Z's foot injuries. In fact, he almost kicked Z in the eye on one of these highlights!

@@billyrayvalentinecapricorn it’s a shame big Z had those foot injuries he really could play

He was indeed a posterizing machine. Needless to say, that NBA was a thousand times better to watch than today's.

Brutality and precision is Kemp!
Payton & Kemp: best "open-court" duo in NBA history!!!
#No question🏀
10:14 super cool to see rivals shaking hands in recognition. I watched that part over&over countless times
Get the man to the Hall! He brought people, like myself, so much joy!
Gary Payton - Shawn Kemp duo!
Firat Abuleyla Original Lob City, GP and Kemp were the originators of that.
Firat Abuleyla Gary Payton and shawn Kemp are dynamic duo
90s is an era where big men are not scared to challenge and defend everyshot inside the paint.
80s &90s NBA is the GOAT ERA.....❤❤❤❤
Sorry M.J and D.W and V.C ...Kemp The best game dunker ever .Naaaaaaaaaasty
Wilkins hands down!!!!
Aaaaa. Michael Jordan more physically.
No doubt 👍
Vince Carter light years ahead of them dudes
The disrespect towards Carter is crazy...
i loved watching Shawn Kemp play back in the day, his intent was to embarrass you and take your heart with every dunk.
best in-game dunker all time. amazing athletic ability
Vince is the dunking GOAT. But I’ve never seen a player attack the rim as violently and ferociously as Shawn Kemp.
In terms of pure athleticism, he doesn't take a back seat to anyone. So fluid and coordinated.
Kemp brought the style and "swag" to dunking!
His Dunk on Gatling show respect to both of them... real sportsmanship.
every dunk just straight vicious
There is Shawn Kemp then there is everyone else guy was one of a kind!
Shawn Kemp was a SAVAGE dunker. Between him and Vinsanity, they are imo, the 2 best dunkers ever.
