i see you and your dappers dont remember grant hill either. he was insanely athletic. he just wasnt as BIG as lebron with that same athleticism.
OVER MUTUMBO( they dont make centers like this any more, dont say DJ, he's a guy with hops but low ball iq)


OVER Zo (another ELITE center that they dont have in todays nba game)


the dude was very athletic. he just played a smoother game and would give guys a slow move then hit them with the wicked cross and bang all over your bigman. most of brons dunks are in the open court or guys parting the seas letting him go right down the middle.


i most def remember grant hill but lebrons athletiism was on another plane

I recognize Kemp as a basketball icon.He's a legendary player because of the "flavor" he brought to the game.

I can't knock him for that,I think it's warranted.


But as far as him being a great player, I never saw it.Saw flashes, but he was never, as I said in my previous post, one of the top 10 players in the league during his "prime".


I think he was too busy hitting the bottle & knocking bytches up to stay focused.


Breh always had that wino body language


See, why can't you just admit you never watched him play, and be cool with it. You straight up said Nate McMillan was better than him. :mjlol:

Never said Nate was better.He played more of a leadership role.He was the main "glue" guy on that '96 squad.

Definitely had a major effect on the Sonics.

Where did I say Nate was better, tho?:jbhmm:

I already said Kemp was the most naturally talented player on that team.Good player, awesome athlete.


But was only a 2nd tier PF in the 90's...It was Barkley & Malone on the 1st tier


and then a bunch of 2nd tier guys like Larry Johnson, Derrick Coleman, Shawn Kemp etc...

Kemp had better Sportscenter highlights(Iconic dunks), but that's his group:manny:
