Gary Thompson u literally forgot 3 of the top 10, dirk, Timmy, Shawn, kg... ur a dumbass for including some of those no named unathletic players who don’t have nearly as much skill as the ones I posted
I know man very unique style. He was an artist with his dunks and celebrations. That dunk where he posterized the Utah jazz player and put his hands up, look of shock on his face like he just killed someone was hilarious. Kemp was something else man. Like out of a movie.
@Geek Gumption I hear ya! I used mine for walking or riding my bike, pretty much. You know which ones looked REALLY heavy/hot to me? Those Patrick Ewing shoes. Man they were chunky! (but cool, though)
These two were the best alley hoop duo ever. I wish that Lebron James had played during Shawn Kemp's era; Lebron would have put in an early retirement trying the guard Kemp.
This is some of the best editing I’ve ever seen in my life, every dunk was on point with the snares of the beat. Whomever made this is a genius I’m not even being sarcastic definitely a thumbs up
Kemp is one of my favorite players of all time. He was my first favorite player as a kid. He would be such a monster today. Also, this one of the best edited and overall well-made highlight reels I've ever seen. Props.
Me too and I'm a Sixers fan. The Sonics were good during my high school and college years and this brings back some memories. They shouldn't have been moved to OKC.
Patrick Hyde that dunk literally changed the rule saying you can show emotion just not directly in player face. that's why when people dunk on guys they turn towards teammate or crowd before celebrating. facts
@@sleepyeyes1479 Is that really true? I just thought that most players didn't have the balls to do that anymore. Its a rule? Man if Shawn Kemp was doing this nowadays everyone would lose their minds
Kemp could pass, steal the ball, block shots, shoot free throws , nice jumper, and in game dunk better than any. 6 time all star, starting power forward for dream team 2. Made all world team. And oh yea. Kemp is who the Sonics built around. Not Payton. How in the hell is he not in the HOF?
@@TheRealReVeLaTioN I like Shawn Kemp but I never heard that. Post a link to where he said this. Shaq did say Rodman was the guy who gave him the biggest challenge.
Hall of Fame! Reign man! One my favs of the 1990s. Great PF. Developed a really reliable J at his peak in Seattle. Also was an Olympian and multiple time all-star
And they say players in the 80s and 90s weren't as athletic as today. To gain perspective For all of the young kids out there, Blake Griffin is a watered-down version of Shawn Kemp
The difference is Kemp was the exception, not the rule. He was an 18ppg guy durring his prime. There's a long list of guys today just as athletic as Kemp, they just have more skill.
LOL Kemp can't shoot? He was a good midrange shooter, what you smoking. He was no Pippen but he was known as a good defender. "There's a long list of guys today just as athletic as Kemp, they just have more skill." Have to disagree with this too. I agree there are lots of athletic guys, but "more skill" not really. If anything players lack a lot of fundamentals these days, especially big men. Also his PPG wasn't a reflection of his ability. The system George Karl ran on those Sonics teams was really distributed attack, they had a lot of double digit scorers on the roster and did a lot of run and gun rather than pounding it into the paint. Both he and Payton averaged 18-20 ppg in that system. Once Karl left you'll notice Payton's shot attempts and PPG went up, as well as minutes.
Guys act like the 80s/90s were 100 years ago. Lmao it's was 20-30 years ago. These basketballer players are the same athletes. The rule chamges truly watered down the defense in basketball. You can't even breathe today without getting a tech. Jordan terrorized tough Zones in the 80s and averaged 37 PPG on 53% shooting. People really think he couldn't average 45-50 a night with almost no contact nowadays. The 90s was the greatest era of basketball.
@@ericwang1577 Too much Passion? What a stupid thing to say that's what made him great that's what made him unique that's what players like Andrew Wiggins need to learn. Too much passion sounds like a comment from someone with no passion
Kemp is one of the few players I've watched where their movement alone could be classified as sheer artistry. Anyone that makes the game look this good is HOF in my book. Much love my man, loved watching you back in the day Shawn..
With all due respect to Nique, MJ, Vince, Blake Griffin, Lebron - the greatest in-game dunker ever is Shawn Kemp. It's not about just the physical act of the dunk - it was the total package of this lanky but ripped dude that could jump out of the gym at 6'10 and who also had this style that has never been replicated. The way he used to land after a dunk like he was spiderman, I mean there is just something nobody else has had before or after. His dunks had nicknames - "the Lister Blister" dunk is still to this day the most savage dunk ever seen on a pro basketball court. A full body extension stuff that sent a 7'0 240 guy flying into the courtside seats with the spiderman landing then hitting him with the double lazer point and pump. The GOAT, there is no better.
Power wise I would agree with you. Him and 'Nique are top power dunkers ever but for overall grace , creativity and artistry Jordan is still the best dunker ever.
It's VC and Kemp tied at the top. And then there's a bunch of guys like Derrick Jones that don't have a name big enough to really be in the conversation.
@@combodad2235 nope! Vince is great, but Kemp took it to a whole other level of dunking. This was the best era ever for dunking, imo. Watched him play many times, crazy dude!
Finally someone made a video for Kemp, the good one he deserve!!! I was a Bulls fans, I remember 1996 finals when Payton and Kemp served 72-10 Bulls in the game 4 and 5, man they were awesome...
Hands down the best Kemp video I've ever seen as of today, and I've seen many. Finally one where all the plays are clearly seen, in awesome quality. Thanks for this!! Ah, the memories... :)
One of the absolute best dunkers ever. I remember watching basketball come on and just waiting for highlights when Seattle played. The highlights always came with a jam from Kemp. You just sat there waiting to see what the Kemp slam was gonna be.
One of the most electrifying players back when watching basketball was fun. The way he could do things on offense and defense was something to behold. Those dunks and the air...I still have my ooooold Kemp jersey.
My personal favorite in game dunker of all time. The ferocity and strength he would dunk with was scary. He was a physical monster and imposed his will on those not strong enough to stop the ReignMan.
One of my favourite players growing up absolutely love the Seattle sonics I’m from the UK and just a bit lost now now there are no more a team😢Never really found a new team to support
He was the reason I fell in love with basketball ! Moved to Seattle in 91 from the Bay area & wow the sonics were the most exciting team I've ever seen , Michael Jordan ran the NBA then , but Shawn was an explosion!
i swear at 6:05 that is the only time in nba history where the person who got posterized showed respect. i've never seen that before haha someone correct me if im wrong
That's how we balled back in the day whether it's NBA or on the blacktop if someone got you good whether a dunk, nasty pass or ill crossover you gave him his props and showed respect
Back in the day glenn robinson dunked on greg ostertag and ostertag shook hus hand lol
4 года назад
Kemp managed to get something similar from Dennis Rodman after putting his nuts in Rodman's face(!) here: ruclips.net/video/_awEtPJXL7E/видео.html - And Rodman still acknowledged Kemp's play afterwards.
Kemp and Webber my two all time favorite PFs, complete opposites this two. Webber had insane court vision, crazy handles just so much finesse and kemp was raw, his animosity, his power he was just an animal
He is a highlight reel and should be in the hall of fame.6xall star, 3 time all NBA, help Seattle to the NBA finals with Gary Payton in 96. Should of at least have an all defensive team selection because of his versatility in multiple positions.
1996 is the best we saw of him. He showed he’s not only a dunker, but his accuracy from mid-range cannot be underestimated. He could rebound and block shots. He is the reason why the Sonics were in the 96 Finals and being able to prolong the series to 6 Games before eventually felling to MJ and the Bulls. While the other Sonics choked against the Bulls, he held his own and the Bulls needed Rodman to provoke and frustrate him.
When Seattle played the bulls in the finals I was a huge bulls fan because of Jordan, also because of Pippen who was from my area. But on one occasion Kemp threw Rodman to the floor & I actually cheered for Kemp "Way to go kick Rodman's ass!" I hated Rodman even as he was playing for my team!
Can't believe I came across this video just now... Man you made my day!!! Best video of Kemp so far for me. One of my favorite player back then... The only 6.7+ I really like because he could move with such agility and throw high fly beautiful dunks. The way he takes off, fly, double pump, dunks, hangs and twist... Unique !!!
@Gary Thompson What?! That's absurd! I hate the Spurs but I know he faced Shaq, Garnett, Ewing, Duncan, Malone, Dirk Nowitski, Alonzo Mourning, Gasol, Barkley and your pal Shawn Kemp.
This is THE BESSSSST mixtape of Shawn Kemp. This is my all time favourite basketball player EVER! Please make him a hall of famer, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease! Thank you for sharing this. It's even go the dunk I remember very well from a NBA countdown back in the day where Kemp dunks on Mutombo. Can't find that clip anywhere on the internet and I actually saw it here at 4:16. Thank you again @NBA for sharing this because this is the best mixtape of my man Shawn Kemp.
Best PF of all time in my opinion... I don't acknowledge players by rings because the league picks and chooses who it wants to be the face but in my opinion Kemp is the best PF I've ever seen play.
Even during the modern NBA, there hasn't been anybody quite like the Reign Man. Just an absolute freak of nature. It's a shame he had that penchant for the Jesus Juice.
I was a Celt .... but Kemp was a fckn monster. I retired from being an nba fan when Bird left. It was the last of real basketball. NBA is so wwe today. NFL too. You know its true. Look how many opponents were smash mouth defending these kemp moments. You don't see any defense today. None.
Shawn kemp, is so under-rated. this dude has block so many shots so clutch mysterious powerful moves i ain't never seen before. he reminds me of jordan alot, i mean you can tell he mimicked some of mj moves, check'm out you will notice sum mj moves.

Him and Tom Chambers
Velocity Forgot how much of a beast Kemp was in the 90's
He nearly posterized every superstar in the 90's :)
Name of song please?
This guy was a real POWER forward!
Shawn camp and Dominic was 2 of the most Dominating power forwards in the game They would get more than 30 or 40 points a game today

Definitely 😏✅
Best era of the NBA. The players in the 90's were sublime.
Its was the double combos too
Payton & Kemp (Sonics)
Pippen & Jordan (Bulls)
Stockton & Malone (Jazz)
Miller & Smits (Pacers)
Hardaway & O'Neal (Magic)

When the league was actually tough and teams played INCREDIBLE defense.
PERIOD!
You ain’t kidding bro
The way he dunked was something else and the swagger the charisma. The best Shawn Kemp video on RUclips
I totally agree.
That’s what separates him from a lot. His flair. Reign man was so electric
I know man very unique style. He was an artist with his dunks and celebrations. That dunk where he posterized the Utah jazz player and put his hands up, look of shock on his face like he just killed someone was hilarious. Kemp was something else man. Like out of a movie.
I still remember rocking the reebok Shawn Kemps. One of my favorite players to this day.
Those Kamikazes!
I still have my original Kamikazes from 1995. :) A little too small now, but I can wear them for short periods.
Dude....I went out a bought a pair in 2013 for $170........
The only people who recognized the Kemp's were OGs
Kamikaze baby! Loved those shoes!
@Geek Gumption I hear ya! I used mine for walking or riding my bike, pretty much.
You know which ones looked REALLY heavy/hot to me? Those Patrick Ewing shoes. Man they were chunky! (but cool, though)
Back in the 90's Shawn Kemp was one of the most popular players. It was these players that made 90's basketball. Shawn Kemp for the Hall of Fame.
Payton and Kemp... Dream Team
These two were the best alley hoop duo ever. I wish that Lebron James had played during Shawn Kemp's era; Lebron would have put in an early retirement trying the guard Kemp.
This is some of the best editing I’ve ever seen in my life, every dunk was on point with the snares of the beat. Whomever made this is a genius I’m not even being sarcastic definitely a thumbs up
holy shit ! this is the most badass highlight reel of any player out there lol This guy was and still is BOSS

Name of song please?

kemp for hall of fame!
Gregor S I agree
Yea if Grant Hill made he it, he should too.
Nah, numbers aren't hall of fame worthy . He was a human highlight real though
Hell no
Dunk of Fame 👍
Watched almost every game of his career, he brought the funk every night, this mix can go 30 min with each dunk better than the last. Legend.
Same here....90s sonics make todays NBA seem like watching grass grow
Hes one of the artists in NBA history like Kyrie. They both have an artistic style
Kemp is one of my favorite players of all time. He was my first favorite player as a kid. He would be such a monster today. Also, this one of the best edited and overall well-made highlight reels I've ever seen. Props.
honestly I gotta put kemp in my top ten. he’s such a cool guy but I’m a rocket fan and I like players like hakeem more. but kemp is for sure up there.
I miss the sonics
Me too and I'm a Sixers fan. The Sonics were good during my high school and college years and this brings back some memories. They shouldn't have been moved to OKC.
They were my team and wont ever spend a dime on the nba tell they are back
And me too in 2020😭
I still had all of Shawn Kemp's NBA cards that I collected from the 90's including his 3 rookie cards.
Greetings from the Philippines! 👍
You already know what dunk is last
Patrick Hyde that dunk literally changed the rule saying you can show emotion just not directly in player face. that's why when people dunk on guys they turn towards teammate or crowd before celebrating. facts

Um I'm sorry what best dunker ever

In Game Dunker I will agree.
Best by FAR 👍🏾

Respect to the editing and uploading of this video! There was nobody like the Reign Man.
still the most powerful yet agile dunker in the history of the leagueeee.
Thats the part people miss, 6 10 and this dude could move his body like the smaller agile dunkers, but those dudes didnt have 6 10 power hahaha
goat dunker
You could throw the alley-oop and no matter where on the floor Kemp was, he hammered it down.
True, but if he was on the bench it wouldn't have counted.
That's a Fact
Back to when NBA is a real hardcore
The rawest in game dunker of all time !!!
NBA Section I love Spree, him and Hardaway are my all time favorite backcourt, but the Reignman had the full dunk package with POWER behind everything
Hmmmm.....Nique? Vinsanity?......I don't know bout that
Nique, Kemp, Carter. Best in game dunkers
He is the man in the dunk industry no one comes close to him.
Vince Carter?
@@combodad2235 nope! Vince is great, but Kemp took it to a whole other level of dunking. This was the best era ever for dunking, imo. Watched him play many times, crazy dude!

I feel blessed to have witnessed his greatness as a kid in Seattle. Just amazing
Kemp and Webber my two all time favorite PFs, complete opposites this two. Webber had insane court vision, crazy handles just so much finesse and kemp was raw, his animosity, his power he was just an animal

Shawn Kemp makes me wish I grew up in the 90's, one player that could definitely dominate in today's NBA.
This is awesome. Never seen a bunch of these Kemp dunks, so thank you for that 🙏👏
One of my favorite players of all time
Kemp was and is one of the most explosive players to ever play around the rim.
I hope some time in the years to come another player of the NBA comes back like this
Shawn Kemp he is legend 1990s
Shawn Kemp!!! Some of the best dunks ever!!!
Bring back the Supersonics!
There is no other and won't be other like Shawn THE REIGNMAN Kemp... my favorite player the best ever without winning a ring.
Where are his Blazers highlights though
He is a highlight reel and should be in the hall of fame.6xall star, 3 time all NBA, help Seattle to the NBA finals with Gary Payton in 96. Should of at least have an all defensive team selection because of his versatility in multiple positions.
@2:12 for me personally that's the number one best in-game dunk ever. Extra points for doing it on a former slam dunk champion.
Shawn Kemp was ' A FLYING BEAST'. So powerful. Great at DUNKING!!!!!!! I repeat!!!! DUNKING!!!!!!

Greatest GAME Dunker in N B A H I S T O R Y. And a TRUE Shawn Kemp fan notices that the NBA posted this video on Kemp's BIRTHDAY.
Kemp would put you on a poster. Top three dunkers of all time
Draymon green would look like a fool vs. Kemp!
Any one would
After getting shut down by jj barea Lebron would cry flop and choke vs kemp.
my favorite player for sure, pure explosive energy
Even during the modern NBA, there hasn't been anybody quite like the Reign Man. Just an absolute freak of nature. It's a shame he had that penchant for the Jesus Juice.
He had so much style. One of my all time favourites.
6:09 we will never forget 😂😂
terrence hawkins i dreamed that XD
You will always know which dunk comes the last
To this day Kemp is still my favorite NBA player.

Fuck the clippers
they r the Thunder now ...
