I saw a guy in an old Supersonics shirt at the store yesterday and we were talking about how great that era of the Sonic, Pistons, Bulls, etc were. God I miss it. Today's NBA is a far cry.
Yes don’t we all the best teams best combo , it was fun to watch and I live in Australia then we don’t get live game unless we have cable and it’s the weekends that we wait for to see replays and highlights. The era 1990”
@@dlegair9 Same for me, it was years before I realized it was Reign. Rain made more sense to me because Seattle is known to be always raining like Kemp's dunks but then again Reign is good as well, Kemp was the king of that monstrous slam dunk!
Shawn Kemp was one of my favorite players growing up in the 90s! I still have his Seattle Supersonics reversible jersey, and his VHS the Reignman, and the Dream Team 2 VHS, and NBA Superstars 3, where Shawn Kemp was in their highlights! God bless you dear Shawn and Sean! You guys rock!
For my 40yrs birthday, my friends offered me the sonics 40 kemp jersey.. It was a beautyfull gift , even if im not following the nba since almost 20yrs. They know who i am . I can say i have a real friends/brothers
I loved Shawn and Gary. It crushed me when they traded Kemp. He loved it here, grew up here really, and I think his downfall was being traded. I really believe he missed the Sonics to the point where it wrecked him. The man still lives here in Seattle. For no other reason than he loves it here. ❤
@@michaelgpartridge2384 However in first years in Clevland he still put the numbers. Like 18-20 points 9.5 rebound but his FG drop under 50% but he was on a much worse team and in addition with a different game system. It change after lockout.
@ElComendante1928 I mean, Vin put up comparable numbers as well. But if you ask me to choose between the 2? Not even in the same stratosphere. Kemp and it's not even close for me.
@@jimwhitehead230 Of cource. Sonics - as small market - just did not want paid Kemp 100 mil and they got cheaper Vin. Kemp was great PF but Kemp-Payton duo was something special.
The best dunker , in game dunker of his day ! Brother could do it all ! His Dunk/Dap of Alton Lister is an all time great NBA moment. I’ve dunked on guys, been dunked on but I’ve never seen a guy Dap the guy who dunked on him ! Yo that’s Bananas. I’m 63 and I’ve seen everyone from Wilt , Hawk, Elgin, Doc , Kenon, Hillman , so many guys who would dunk on their mommas 😂. But I never saw a guy like Rain Man. Case closed Perry Mason 😎
I used to wake up at 3 a.m. here in Europe just to watch his games. Slept 1/2 an hour, then to high school. My favorite player together with M.J. Thanks for all the alley oops, hang times, posters … Cant remember one Top 10 on NBA Action where Shawn Kemp was not in it. He posterized so many exceptional players directly in their faces.
@@PIP...33 The Bulls needed a power forward and acquired Rodman. It wasn't 'forming a superteam' not like in the shameful way Lebron did it with the Heat and 2 other superstars. They still lost to old 90 plumbers i might add.
I loved the sonics an kemp but they definitely did NOT deserve to win a nng They had their chance on a silver platter TWO years in a row with jordan gone (94 an 95) an they choked in the FIRST round BOTH years to vastly inferior teams
Him and GP were the only reason most people watched Sonics games back in the day..... You knew it was going to be a show 🔥🔥🔥 The man was a straight up BEAST 🔥🔥🔥
So people only watched the team because of its two stars? Crazy! Also, not true. People who really follow the game also knew Detlef Schrempf was one of the original do-it-all Euro-bigs who paved the way for countless lesser players (e.g. Mirotic, Bargnani, Kukoc, Kirilenko, Ilyasova, the list goes on forever). There was also Hersey Hawkins, your classic 3&D 2-guard, and old Sam Perkins still averaging 11-12 despite being 33-35 during the Sonics years.
Kemp was an all-around player with flare. He had no weaknesses and played on a winning team. He should be in the HOF period. WHo cares about his off-the-court issues. The man was a beast on the court and now is living a clean life.
Hi Joseph. I think I agree. One can't ignore off-the-court matters, but I think the on-court performances should be measured by what they are, or were. I am glad he is living clean (really, it's living free).
I'm a huge Kemp fan. But he did have two weaknesses The tendancy to get in foul trouble. And the tendancy to turn the ball over, mainly on traveling calls. Still Kemp could score, defend and rebound.
Kemp is my favorite player and the Sonics my favorite team(please bring them back). His years with the Sonics were incredible and numerous highlights every game with him and Payton. Wish his career was longer but definitely an incredible talent and is very underrated.
I'm glad Pop made a huge mention to bring the Sonics back at his HOF speech, with Adam Silver and GP in attendance. That's the place and kind of person to keep pushing for it and make it a big deal
Shawn Kemp was such an energetic player and spectacular slasher! He also was great at stealing balls, Seattle had great stats in this regard. Man, this city no longer having a b-ball team is a sham
Kemp as one of the first guys given that “Man Child” label. He was one of my favorite players back in the day. But he was one of those guys that you can say “what could have been…” good player, could have been an all time great
When you think 90's basketball you almost automatically think of and include Shawn Kemp highlights in your head. Would highly recommend checking him out on what is known as Dream Team 2 the world Championship team. He is playing with this extra chip on his shoulder and he just does things athletically and with ferocity at times where its like whoa, this guy is next level at times.
It wasn't just the lockout, he had been removed from his support system just before the lockout. If the lockout would have happened while Kemp was still in Seattle I am almost positive his career would not have ended the way it did.
Kemp was one of my favorite players in the 90s. Def one of the best in game dunkers ever. Had swag before swag was swag. At his peak he was doing things every night that would make people and the crowd go nuts. 🏆
"Legalize Kemp" funniest sign ever. Kemp is my favorite player. And the real finals mvp in 1996, and would belong to the hall of fame, if it was only about basketball.
Back then Kemp was one of the most exciting players to watch and try and copy his style on the playground the next day! Along with Jordan and Iverson. Thanks again brother for another fun video.
If Shawn Kemp was in the league today, he would body everyone. He was doing that shit with legit bigs in the league. He'd also get ejected and suspended with that point he did after the dunk, though 🤣
Love your content, man! Another great installment - I think we all miss this guy. What a cool dude and utterly spectacular performer! I grew up in Wilmington right behind Michael and went to Carolina... but I think Shawn may just be my favorite player to watch, ever. He made the 1990’s awesome!

He should be in the HOF...if Yao Ming gets in, he should. Kemp scored double the amount of points (yes, he did play longer), and had a similar average on rebounds and assists. 🏀🇬🇧
@@godsfavoritt771that’s a joke right? Look how Zion dominates when he isn’t hurt and on the floor. Zion is literally a man playing with boys. That’s exactly how kemp would be.
@@godsfavoritt771 I understood what you said and you have a valid point so I agree a little with you but I disagree because of this. These kids coming up and even the players in the league, these power forwards and centers don’t want to bang down low and they all been shooting 3’s since high school. They chose this way of play far before the NBA, yes the NBA is embracing it but Zion is proof that WHEN and old school type player (like a Barkley or kemp) comes through the league they can dominate. Mark my word. If Zion can somehow lose the weight, get down around 260 like Barkley did, and stay healthy he will be the new face of the NBA. There’s nobody that can stop him. Not even centers. I think we both right to a certain degree.
Love this one. Gen x'er here, Shawn Kemp was a great like Dominique Wilkins. Got his chance against the Standard Bearer Jordan Bulls. Not many passed that test. Rainmaker and GP running the break, all you have to do is look UP!!!
Kemp never played college ball but for me, he seemed to play with college ball energy when playing in the NBA. By that I mean that he always played like he was hoping to make it to the next level, even though he was there at the top already. He was always one of my favorites...
Other than Jordan, Miller, and Rodman, Shawn Kemp was full of dominance and electrcity on the court! I remember he won a slam dunk contest back in the day! I forgot what year it was. I had his jersey to wear. The very last time I saw him play he was traded to Cleveland and I haven't seen him play since. But at the time I never knew he also played for Portland and Orlando. He was a pure monster on the court! Salute to SK!!
Growing up at six foot learning how to play and finding out i had hops it was never Jordan for me My favorite player ever was and still is Shawn "the reign man" Kemp shout out to him man fr
I was just watching Kemp dominate game 7 of the 96 WCF against the Jazz. Too fast, skilled and strong for Karl Malone to handle. Such a joy to watch that team. GP, Kemp, Schrempf, Perkins, Hersey and Nate.
Sean David, you deliver again sir! I'm very happy you're giving Kemp the love he deserves. Love seeing Janal Crawford and Q (went to college with him btw, same class at DPU. Except I had to stay all four years 😂) react to his video, I can see Kemp reminiscing. I was at the Bulls vs Magic game when Kemp subbed in late in the game, and was reduced to setitng picks at the high key. Didn't even roll 😢 Reignman, coming from a big Bulls fan here, thanks for providing spark millions of basketball fans around the world. We appreciate YOU Shawn!!! 😁😁😁💯 EDIT: "setting pics" not "seeing picks" lol
Going down to Key Arena on lower Queen Anne in Seattle on gameday was always a blast. Great memories of the Sonics in the 90’s and the city in its glory- bring the NBA back to SeaTown!
almost cried when dull Malone&Stockton took a finals from Sonics... Always Shawn, I would pick him always in hood game, just to see his bombing the basket. Never could decide if Jordan or Kemp is the best dunker, then came Vince ;) Thank you for this episode
I'm biased since I lived in Seattle from '93 to '98 and saw The Reign Man and The Glove in their primes. It was so exciting to watch them play together. Original Lob City.
The "Rain Man," Shawn Kemp what a great name and player to match.Thrill personified!..Above the rim was a common meeting place for kemp..Mid-range game and then back to the air to teach the art of high flyin!..Much respect Shawn Kemp, the body of work is plentiful and respected....Joy To watch, period........
I'm from Denver, been a Nuggets fan my whole life. I was lucky enough to have gone to almost the entire '93-'94 season including the playoffs. So when we beat the Sonics in the first round, back then 1st round was best of 5, but first time an 8 seed beat a #1 seed. All that to say that Kemp was one of those talents that only come along every once in a great while. Not only a great dunker but soooo much more, played D, had a great mid-range game also and could knock down that long range 3 when he needed to. The reality is that's the cards you're dealt when you're drafted. Sometimes the stars align and you see success in spades, but there's a laundry list of special talents that for whatever reason didn't reach the promise land. If you're a true sports fan you've seen it in all of the big four sports. Sorry for the rant just hit me right and I couldn't stop typing!!!!! ✌️❤️🙏
Rockets fan here and there was no team in the NBA I looked more forward to playing against than the Sonics in the early-mid 90's. They were our toughest matchup and to this day, they're the most exciting team I've ever watched. The games between the Rockets and Sonics between '93 and '95 were epic. Just an absolute beast of a player and team and it's too bad they underachieved in the playoffs during that period.
This era carried me through the best childhood ever ❤ this era basketball and the hip hop, I was hypnotized like these young guys now on drill rap 🔫. 😄

Kemp was so good, that he was the best player in the 1996 Finals.....of course he could have used some more help.

So when we beat the Sonics in the first round, back then 1st round was best of 5, but first time an 8 seed beat a #1 seed. All that to say that Kemp was one of those talents that only come along every once in a great while. Not only a great dunker but soooo much more, played D, had a great mid-range game also and could knock down that long range 3 when he needed to. The reality is that's the cards you're dealt when you're drafted. Sometimes the stars align and you see success in spades, but there's a laundry list of special talents that for whatever reason didn't reach the promise land. If you're a true sports fan you've seen it in all of the big four sports. Sorry for the rant just hit me right and I couldn't stop typing!!!!! ✌️❤️🙏
As a kid growing up just outside of Seattle in the early 90's... Mannnn..... Kemp & Payton was special.
There's nobody I liked watching more than prime reignman, just a nasty mf'r...
Real NBA fans KNOW how amazing The Reign Man was... we know.
Rockets fan here and there was no team in the NBA I looked more forward to playing against than the Sonics in the early-mid 90's. They were our toughest matchup and to this day, they're the most exciting team I've ever watched. The games between the Rockets and Sonics between '93 and '95 were epic. Just an absolute beast of a player and team and it's too bad they underachieved in the playoffs during that period.
Even the Cava Kemp showed he could shoot better than he got credit for.. but he been a bucket his whole career.
Sean was nice on and off the court, so good and such a good human being. I’m glad he’s doing well today.
He was my number 1 NBA icon and I felt sad to see him losing from the Bulls. I still believe that he could have earn this ring with a different coach.
What an incredible player, so exciting to watch him playing
This era carried me through the best childhood ever ❤ this era basketball and the hip hop, I was hypnotized like these young guys now on drill rap 🔫. 😄
Born in the 1980 we were very blessed to have watched players from late 80s till now.
Definitely my favorite in his day i had the privilege to meet that dude here in Chicago at the push excel games
Dam 90s have talent
Love your channel BTM. You always keep it real
I thought there were no athletes in the 90s, only plumbers?
Love the focus on Kemp bra - super fun seeing his game - thx 😊
That was my team love Shawn Kemp & the glove. Those were the days & they were great for years.
Shawn Kemp and Dominique were the first to mesmerise me with their athleticism. I was hooked on basketball after seeing that
It's fun to watch the rain man doin his thing back in a day's.❤🎉
Watching Kemp play was awesome! There’s no player in todays game dunking as hard as Kemp was dunking. Dude Was a damn beast
