Kemp was fast. He blocked the shot then Gary only takes 3 dribbles b4 throwing the oop at the other end, crazy. my all time fav team. Could watch Kemp highlights all day
the reign man was so underated. he was consistently as top 5 & one of the best all around pf's of the 90's. the man did everything he wasnt just a dunker.
Kemp is just off-the-charts in terms of natural athletic ability. Even next to David Robinson who's just about as impressive as anyone can get - and he's 7'1" - yet Kemp looks better. Amare and Dwight are great physical specimens as well, but not like Kemp. He's like a 6'11" version of Jordan. Had Kemp stayed on the right track, and prepared as he should have, he would have had a long and storied career. I don't think we ever saw him peak, and that's scary!
This video makes perfect the feeling on how the Sonics in that year were unstoppable in regular season. Too bad how they wasted the occasion to win the ring on playoff!
God it is great to relive those Payton to Kemp Alley-Oops. I loved watching this team back in the 90's after suffering in the 80's (I started watching them well after their lone championship). Kemp was a monster in the hole, and with those mid-range turn-arounds, and Payton was the best defensive PG in this era. It's a shame what Clay Bennett did to the Sonics.
One of the Best & entertaining Power Forwards of all time. Played with so much emotion & invented dunks that cats like Blake Griffin want to do today. That's why im not suprised Kemp called Blakes Car Dunk Weak. Because it simply was !!
shawn kemp was a very underrated player and one of the best dunkers in the league and its a shame he never won a dunk contest. he was robbed cus that dee brown dunk was wack
something about kemp doing a one hand break-away dunk that is so pleasurable to watch. palm the ball and pump it before dunking. something that only him and jordan would do in a regular basis.
@popeyeisgood Dont forget Dominique Wilkins. That guy is a machine. Most of the time Kemp cradles the ball on the tip of his fingers just before he slams the ball. That is why he is able to add more force. Michael Finley used to do that too.
My dad is making me watch the Celtics tonight to watch "Sullinger"- please. BB sucks now- I was in love with the Sonics in the 90s and I don't know if it's because they're getting kids right out of school now but NO ONE plays defense and NO ONE is this scrappy anymore. It's so boring now.
Not for me. I don't see how it's possible for anyone who was actually in Seattle at the time to think about how he fell off after he was traded. I never do. Too many good memories of him as a Sonic for that to happen.
@seattlehawkins So what,it was a great year,certainly better than the next yr when Denver knocked the Sonics out in round 1,first time ever a 8 beat a 1.I was sick for a week after that.Then they played in the Tacoma Dome the next yr while the building was getting a face lift and the Lakers knocked em out in the first round.Then,finally a trip to the finals only to meet the best team ever in history.The 72 and 10 Bulls.I saw Seattle beat em twice that yr,once in the regular season and gm 4.Memor
I liked the old Coliseum better than the Key.The old place was court,people,and ceiling,nothing else.All those advertisement boards and luxury suites sucked some life outta that place.I miss the Sonics,wont/can't watch until/unless we get a team back.....The Glove and The Reign Man were so fuckin fun to watch,KILLERS on the court.Getting rid of George Karl was the beginning of the end of Sonics Basketball.I hate Wally Walker for it.
The Sonics gave you your precious Kevin Durant. Never forget that. You are nothing without him. The Sonics at least have a title. OKCulater doesn't. Just goes to show that Oklahoma is OK. Not great, just OK.
@popeyeisgood Lol yah but I like playing with idiots sometimes. Well what Phil Jackson and co. said about Kemp that they dont have any agile bigman to guard him. Luc and Rodman were fitted to guard Shaq but not Kemp. So what they did was they shut down Gary Payton and the rest instead. Which worked. Kemp got his avg game stats and the rest of the Sonics team did not.
Wow. Alot of credit being given to Dwight Howard. His little chicken legs couldn't keep up with half the big men from the 90's. the league was MUCH more physical back then.
@TheHofemeister I see you dont watch too much nba during the 90s. Lol at you bringing up the 96 finals. The Bulls were a perfect team. And yet Kemp was the best player on that Finals. He was basically unguardable. Rodman couldnt stop him. Luckily for Rodman, he had Luc and Wennington to help him secure rebounds. Nobody can stop him. Too bad Kemp's team fell short of talent against the 72 wins Bulls. Shaq dunked on every powerfoward in the 90s. Like i asked.Video of Shaq owning Kemp(sonics)??
Lavar's Balls my brother had a shaq book. It had a short paragraph on all his games his rookie season. It said 1st trip to Seattle Kemp rejected his dunk lol. I wanna see that.
Todays day in age where a guy like Dwight is the supposed best big man in the game just shows you the lack of talent at the position today. Kemp in his prime would be best inside big man over Dwight if he played in todays age
@TheHofemeister Find a video where Shaq dunked on Kemp (Sonics Era). You'll find nothing. Shaq was dead scared of prime Kemp that is why he never dunked on him. Afraid of Shawn getting back at him. Out of prime Shaq still disses Dwight like crazy. Dwight is a greeat big man but Prime Kemp would tool Dwight 10 fold.
Excellent video.. So much memories..
The best team ever not to win a championship,
Kemp will always be the best PF for me
Kemp was fast. He blocked the shot then Gary only takes 3 dribbles b4 throwing the oop at the other end, crazy.
my all time fav team. Could watch Kemp highlights all day

Kemp was the reason i dumped so much coin into NBA JAM at the arcade when I was a teenager.
Damn you Rainman!

Loved him- the no look alley oops with Payton? Insane. Loved him.
The NBA was SO MUCH more fun to watch back then
Kemp shoulda been called Beast Mode, he killed it in the 90's
This video should be called "The NBA in its prime."
Seattle needs the Sonics.
The day they lost to the Nuggets in Game 5-was one of the worst days of my entire life
This video makes perfect the feeling on how the Sonics in that year were unstoppable in regular season. Too bad how they wasted the occasion to win the ring on playoff!
Kendall Gill got nastyyy on Mutombo @ 5:20...
Big SMOOOOOTH, Nate the Great, The Glove, The Reign Man, oh how I miss you. Hersey Hawkins, Detlef, and yes even Brockman!!!
God it is great to relive those Payton to Kemp Alley-Oops. I loved watching this team back in the 90's after suffering in the 80's (I started watching them well after their lone championship).

Wish Kemp when he was on the Sonics could play forever
gotta love early 90's music
This was a great Sonics team. Payton, Gill, McMillan, Perkins, Kemp...
Sonics vs Blazers were great games. Peyton Kemp Clyde Porter! miss those days.
man kemp was powa ballin!
One of the Best & entertaining Power Forwards of all time. Played with so much emotion & invented dunks that cats like Blake Griffin want to do today. That's why im not suprised Kemp called Blakes Car Dunk Weak. Because it simply was !!

SHAWN KEMP, O MELHOR.
lol almost forgot about Big Smoooooove, Sam Perkins. Great video.
Kendall Gill with the hops
you know you're in the zone when you're making shots like @4:12
good ole dayz+
For some reason I couldn't stop laughing at the music...
.Damn was that Kendall Gill turning Mutombo into a poster at 5:21??.. Wow..
@popeyeisgood
Dont forget Dominique Wilkins. That guy is a machine.
Most of the time Kemp cradles the ball on the tip of his fingers just before he slams the ball. That is why he is able to add more force. Michael Finley used to do that too.
whats the name of the song at the banganing? that joint fire real nice vibe to it, oh and Shawn Kemp was the man lol
i think the sleepiness also came from the fact that he shot threes flat footed haha...
Yeah they do!
My dad is making me watch the Celtics tonight to watch "Sullinger"- please. BB sucks now- I was in love with the Sonics in the 90s and I don't know if it's because they're getting kids right out of school now but NO ONE plays defense and NO ONE is this scrappy anymore. It's so boring now.

lmao @ 0:39 ....Sam perking : "Busting spurs with 3s"
Even the media people were more chill back then.
I guarantee this video was the last time any music made by Sting was associated with anything having to do with basketball, ever.
Interesting music choice...
This man with number 14 who shot three point shoot isn't Shawn Kemp. It's Sam Perkins
@seattlehawkins So what,it was a great year,certainly better than the next yr when Denver knocked the Sonics out in round 1,first time ever a 8 beat a 1.I was sick for a week after that.Then they played in the Tacoma Dome the next yr while the building was getting a face lift and the Lakers knocked em out in the first round.Then,finally a trip to the finals only to meet the best team ever in history.The 72 and 10 Bulls.I saw Seattle beat em twice that yr,once in the regular season and gm 4.Memor
what song is this and by who? 90 s music in the beginning
This is more like Seattle in there prime..
Like 40 times
He was only 24-years-old in these clips.
Wats the song name thats playin in the background?
Nia Peeples - Street Of Dreams
Perkins barely even jumps on those shots. Pretty much a set shot.
Has OKC won a title yet?
All of this was going on when Jordan retired.
@OvaChicken last time I checked I was a sonics fan and you sure sounded like a clippers fan my bad BRO!!!
i wish he played for the Bulls
U forgot bout Olajuwon and Shaquille, if u r talking bout 90s era...
payton , kemp and rodman thugs meeting
I liked the old Coliseum better than the Key.The old place was court,people,and ceiling,nothing else.All those advertisement boards and luxury suites sucked some life outta that place.I miss the Sonics,wont/can't watch until/unless we get a team back.....The Glove and The Reign Man were so fuckin fun to watch,KILLERS on the court.Getting rid of George Karl was the beginning of the end of Sonics Basketball.I hate Wally Walker for it.
true shit
Yall got OKC..
GEORGE KARL ROCKS YEAH
The Sonics gave you your precious Kevin Durant. Never forget that. You are nothing without him. The Sonics at least have a title. OKCulater doesn't. Just goes to show that Oklahoma is OK. Not great, just OK.
@Outlawlewis7 yes, and the 2001 trailblazers that got cheated by the refs poor sabonis
Guy almost averaged a triple double, 19 points, 10 rebounds, 9 children, 3 assists....
It's a shame that when you mention Shawn Kemp, the first thing that comes to mind is the post lockout Kemp.
who is lg
seattle needs a team
@popeyeisgood
Lol yah but I like playing with idiots sometimes.
Well what Phil Jackson and co. said about Kemp that they dont have any agile bigman to guard him. Luc and Rodman were fitted to guard Shaq but not Kemp. So what they did was they shut down Gary Payton and the rest instead. Which worked. Kemp got his avg game stats and the rest of the Sonics team did not.
@seattlehawkins No doubt.
barkely choking mascott
how about moving the Clippers?
no he didn't @ 4:04 lol
Kemp’s celebration’s can’t be beat
@movalcadillac excape club 1987 wild west
Wow. Alot of credit being given to Dwight Howard. His little chicken legs couldn't keep up with half the big men from the 90's. the league was MUCH more physical back then.
@cjan012 Dwight will give him the business as well.
@TheHofemeister
I see you dont watch too much nba during the 90s. Lol at you bringing up the 96 finals. The Bulls were a perfect team. And yet Kemp was the best player on that Finals. He was basically unguardable.

@OvaChicken BLAKES NO EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE as KEMP!!!!
@lanebgspsa10 im begging for the hornets
@cjan012 100%
@TheOneCalledOsiriss NO SHIT
Damn shame he never won a ring.....that damn Michael Jordan LOL
before the coke
Todays day in age where a guy like Dwight is the supposed best big man in the game just shows you the lack of talent at the position today. Kemp in his prime would be best inside big man over Dwight if he played in todays age

@lanebgspsa10 Read my comment properly or give up commenting for good buddy.
Lebron just like Shawn Kemp all hype. but shewn was better
AWESOME FOOTAGE OF SHAWN KEMP AND HOMIES BUT THIS MUSIC TOTALLY SUKS HAHA WTF, MAYBE ABIT OF WU TANG CLAN YEAH
He is more awesome to watch, but partner Gary Payton proved far more lethal and efficient.
nahh
wtf country music for nba wtf
too bad the nuggets eliminated them that season
Boring music ! And we don't see Kemp that much on the vid !
nahh okc is better than the sonics ever were
