Wsup stunted...you ever thought about doing a video on "american" big men!..it seems like the best bigs are foreign..good work too.. keep it up!
@subzero3639 Lol my guy Sub let Lebron breath its no doubt he's doing what you say but how many other players have been smart enough to pay off or befriend the media to mold their image.
@@deonmoore3968 how long have you been watching the nba?
@@eib2444 a long time..our big men becoming dinosaurs..
Shawn Kemp deserves to be in the hall of fame,before Vince Carter it was Shawn Kemp bangin on anybody in the paint.
Kemp was basically a less dynamic young Blake Griffin. Blake if he never evolved his game to make passes, hit jumpers and three pointers. Kemp had HOF talent but he is not worthy, pussy and drugs got him.
@@bolsbolbol3686 time all star
@@amadousy7543 yup, a real star, like I said, short of a HOF career but he had the talent if he hadnt had his growth stunted by the obvious.
@@bolsbolbol368 facts. vc was made of glass.
@@bolsbolbol368 from 16 feet to the 3pt line he shot 40% so I wouldn’t say he didn’t evolve a jumper
Yo kemp was an animal and he developed a nice mid range shot also. Him and Gary Payton was a dope combination
My guy know Basketball. The days Bro man... That dude Kemp was Raw!
Dude shawn was a fing beast try to block him or try to dunk on him it does not happen. I remember when i was 4 or 5 watching muncie central where im from playing Concord fort wayne saying shawm kemp is a beast then after watching that tape putting in terminator 2
✊🏾
Shit happens and I don't judge but damn, fam got on that Powder real heavy then ended up looking real heavy with a good 8 yrs of run left until he retire from the league. Sad what some of us can go through even with GOD'S Borrowed Talents!
@Razh 80 i never said anything about lebron at least i dont think shawn kemp was my fav player i dont ever talk about lebron.
When Seattle traded Shawn Kemp, that forever changed and haunted Seattle for years.....
Man who in tellin I'm from Seattle it ain't ben the same since we thought we could bounce ben after getting KD then that snake from Oklahoma stole r dam team
Yes indeed Shawn Kemp Gary Payton and those Sonics teams from the early 90s were competitive and could play with the best in the NBA and when Seattle left for Oklahoma many years later, I was so mad and heated....smh...why Seattle why?
He forced that trade tho. Everyone wanted him to stay. The previous season it was reported that his teammates staged an intervention to talk about his alcohol abuse, erratic behavior, & latenesses. He was going through mental issues at that time.
DJ Rashad Hayes oh ok gotcha....Shawn Kemp is still a Seattle legend to this day...hope he’s doing fine and well....
DON'T FORGET WE HAD RAY ALLEN AND HE WAS DOING HIS THING
Kemp in those dunk contests and in the 96 playoffs was truly something to behold.
Broke is not being able to cover expenses. If you got a million dollars and 2 million in bills. You broke.
Exactly.
Exactly 💯
Naw. Broke is broke.
@@chrisrobinson8339 that is exactly what the comment meant.. broke is not able to cover your expenses. Read a dictionary and stay off wikipedia!
Kemp (next to Jordan) is definitely my favorite basketball player of all time, even if he never makes it into the Hall of Fame. That man was phenomenal to watch on the court.
Fareal
He was a fun to watch kemp was a high flyer n crazy athleticism
you must have loved the 1996 finals then.
Shawn Kemp could’ve been one of the greatest power forwards ever. U can look at highlights now & see that he is the most athletic power forward EVER. And he was actually getting better skill wise. It’s a damn shame what drugs and alcohol can do to a person.
Unfortunately, the Shawn Kemp many of us want to revere was often reported to show up each year at training camp overweight. It's a shame with all of that potential he had. I feel bad much more for Gary Payton. At least he won his coveted ring playing for the Miami Heat.
Shawn Kemp in the 90s was incredible! His athleticism and leaping ability was deadly, but unfortunately when Seattle traded him, it was not the same for the Supersonics smh
I am from Houston. I hated when they played against the Rockets
Kemp wasn't the same when he left Seattle but his first 2 seasons for the Cavs he was still really good.
Was a perfect blend of two players He had the vertical jump and power of Dom Wilkins, and the cat like sleekness of Micheal Jordan. A physical freak
People do over do it calling celebs broke. Great way to clarify the different perceptions
He definitely was the man in his prime dude can jump and was one of the best Athlete's in the League in the early 90's.
Honestly, they could have won in 96 if it wasn't for Rodman...
Facts 💯💯🏀
@@tsantiago8656 2nd, 3rd, chances of offensive and defensive rebounds eventually killed them
Facts they had a good team with Gary payton, Kendall Gill, Detlef Schrempf, Sam Perkins,.
@Tyler Saint Definitely he was the first Blake.
Shawn kemp one of the best dunker in NBA history Boom Shakalaka 90s
Reign Man was that dude! Powerful, explosive, agility, and swagg= Legendary. 💪👍
Kemp was the Man.. I personally feel that Seattle sent him to Cleveland knowing it would kill his spirit because at the time the Cavs sucked. Add the drugs alcohol and child support. Even when he gained the weight and couldn't fly like he use to but that midrange Jump shot was still butter.. in my youth I had the Shawn kemp pump hair cut. glad to see he doing ok. Comming from no Money to millions with out the proper education on money management and other negative factors
He was probably having drug, discipline and alcohol issues in Seattle too. They shipped him off before those issues caught up w him ...
@@mistermann3225 I've been reading clips from Seattle news articles. Many fans give Shawn Kemp a pass. When he was with the Sonics, he would show up to camp out of shape. His natural athleticism and youth helped him get away with that approach. When Kemp showed up in Cleveland and got his money, he stopped working hard and gained too much weight. Seattle often says that Shawn Kemp was "The Man." The "Real Man" in Seattle was Gary Payton, The Glove.
@@toddsands6000 , Exactly....love Shawn Kemp...but The Glove had discipline.
@@mistermann3225 I agree he most likely he had drug and alcohol issues and I'm aware Seattle knew it. They traded him to that wack Cleveland team after he wouldn't sign the contract THEY OFFERED him. So if he had signed the contract his issues wouldn't have been a problem to them as long as he was reign man on the floor.
Right i feel like Seattle killed him him and gp was a great duo frfr i would of never got rid of him
My FAVORITE player growing up...Kemp in Seattle was Must See TV It was sad to see his career go south the way it did
The Reignman was Blake Griffin before Blake Griffin. Dude was well on his way to a Hall of Fame career.
Blake aint nothing compared to Shawn. The flair, strength, athleticism. Shawn would've jumped and cleared the hood of that damn KIA car in that dunk contest, before throwing down a vicious one...
Uh lets not put them in the same breath lol
Ya'll acting like Blake wasn't a problem during his prime 😄 The main difference between the two is Kemp was a better rebounder and defender.
Blake ain't no Kemp bro....
Y'all stop hating on Blake. He was on the way to a great Hall of Fame career of his own before injuries hit. Blake could shoot and even learned to shoot the three well. He was also a great passer. He was a great rebounder when he focused on it. Yes, Shawn was a better defender. Both played well in the post.
Two things in life that will bankrupt you overnight. Divorce and children
Speaking of Seattle, what about that cat Desmond Mason from Oklahoma State!?!?
or rashard lewis
Like the rookie symposium in the NFL, your channel should be mandatory viewing for incoming college freshman athletes.
nattydreadlocks1973 That's a fact! Salute💯
ESPN’s 30 for 30 “Broke” was a very good documentary about Athletes going broke
Non of the money he had went to using condoms
Realest statement ever.. but let's cut the man some slack.. could you imagine the pussy being thrown at him in his prime!!
20ppg 9rpg. At 300lbs kemp wouldve been monster in shape
Let's say he was in shape. That woulda been 27ppg 12rpg w a better FG% and better defense. Ohhhh, what might have been.....lol.
@@mistermann3225 damn that been Epic
Another thing I still think about to this day had it not been for that gold chain incident at Kentucky, Shawn Kemp and Kentucky would’ve dominated the SEC and won some national titles in the early 90s...
Imma be upfront and say this, after Seattle went to the finals in 1996,the biggest mistake they made was signing Jim McIlvaine to seven year deal and I’m thinking what are you thinking Seattle ? They should’ve gave Shawn Kemp his extension and that marked the beginning of the end for Shawn Kemp in Seattle...
Facts!
Stunted Growth yes indeed!! If it was up to me I’d give Shawn Kemp his contract extension to keep him happy and he’d retire a sonic and be in the hall of fame....
Kemp invested on a weed shop in Seattle and it seems to be going well. Hope the uptread keeps going and wish him all the best.
really messed up what happened to Shawn smh...he was one of my fav players in the 90s
My guy.. been waiting on this one. Thanks..
Kemp was more talented then people give him credit for they just look at the freakish athleticism but my man was like 50lbs over weight when he played for the Cavs and was killing
I remember older guys used to say Kemp sweat like he snorted 8ball. I finally understood when I got older. Lol. It's amazing he didn't die or have a bad heart. Glad he here to tell the youth that he lived it. Zion look like Kemp in Cleveland already. I hope someone send him this link.
Zion def has a weight problem. Media tries to hide it. He should be about 230 - 250 tops. Not frickin' 285 or 290.....
LMFAO
Now I know why nba players make so much. It helps everyone around them but themselves. 😁😁
Shawn should be in the Hall of Famer.
Gary Payton is no Hall of Famer without Kemp.
They never learn from the trap others fall into with multiple baby mamas child support
Loved watching him play. My favorite choice in NBA Jam. Unstoppable dunks.
Kemp had a bad drug problem. Which fueled his decline. Back in then 90s outside of Jordan., kemp was a must see. Everyone that would dunk in middle school wanted to be shawn kemp.
Keep dropping that fire JC. Waiting for your story patiently ✌🏾️
Another Dope video from the B.I.G Homie

Stunted Growth You already know Fam 🖤
Kemp was an exciting player to watch definitely one of my favorite player during the 90s
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American (showing HOW I grew up).
I don't think going 17th was really him slipping. He was very raw and hadn't played against top level guys in college, still a project as far as skill skill.
Kemp was my fav player in the 90s. I had his Kamakazi shoes and jersey. He was unstoppable at the 4. That NBA lock out hurt him too. He was the type of guy that needed structure.
kemp was my fav player growing up, was nice to see dirk have him at his last game cause dirk knew how good he was
Yea bro I like the background music, u sound exactly like Robert Townsend. Plus u good with words. Great stories
Appreciate that
Reasons are : parents and family members, baby mamas, not knowing about the banking and credit system and buying thing just to fit in
Right. You have to study these systems to show yourself approved. Otherwise, tragedy strikes...
I love these broke athlete stories
financial advisors stole money from players too
This. People don't highlight this enough. Tim Duncan and KG got taken for millions by crooked accountants. Even whem you try to do right, it can still go wrong....
Mister Mann that is true
Amazing content and editing skills get this page over 100k NOWWWW❗️❗️❗️❗️
Born in Seattle in 1973, a Sonics and Blazers fan, I have my MAGIC 40 KEMP jersey!
Love your channel, I think you should do an episode on Desmond Walker as far as stunted growth
Settle made a dumb move trading Kemp, that was the worst decision of that team legacy.......Settle never been the same sense, and there's no way 90 million don't grow interest.......Shawn Kemp will always be a legend though him and Gary Payton........
Still my favorite player of all time. Always will be.
I've NEVER been rich. Sometimes a blessing can be a curse. If we don't allow God to prepare and humble us. FAMILY,BAD INVESTMENT, MULTIPLE BABY MAMAS, DRUGS and LACK OF MATURITY can be a down fall. I probably wouldn't have all these problems. But I probably would fall a little. Many blessings to Shawn Kemp. He's still a HALL OF FAMER to me.
Having grown up playing basketball in Indiana, Shawn Kemp is the best I've ever played against in high school. His athleticism for a 6'9" kid back in 1987 was simply on another level than everyone else. Shawn Kemp is also the oldest looking high school guy I stepped on the court with!! He's only 2 years older but it sure looked more like 15 or 20. When he committed to UK a lot of Hoosier purists were highly unhappy he'd leave the state back then. That probably cost him being Mr Basketball, no discredit to Woody Austin who was phenomenal at Richmond H.S. & Purdue. I know things happen for a reason, but I wonder if things might have been different if he had some structure at a college program for a year or two.
You have great insightful truthful possible smart life lessons professional well done video
I was so lucky witness seeing shawn kemp play in person. I probably got to see him play over 20 times. He played in south bend on a regular basis. The ground shook when he dunked. And he used to catch the craziest bodies.
Dude was like you know,you know,..🤔
Kemp was that dude! He was a beast!!
Shawn Kemp booked me my first real performance at a nightclub. Thanks for that Reign Man!!
His in game dunks were out of this world.
He is back on point doing well for him self bars and restaurants doing g well in Seattle and he has an amazing weed store
Dude got lied on in the scandal in college. That’s messed up. In that class, he would’ve been a top 5 pick in that draft in he played at Kentucky or even at that junior college in TX. He lost millions of dollars. Seattle fucked him over too. Funny how they tell you it’s business when they trade you but when it’s the other way around, he’s Problematic/ drugs. Smh Kemp was the type of player that was loyal, probably should retired a Sonic. I remember reading a article in the SLAM magazine about him. Talked about his drug (coke/achool) problem. Hurt my heart seen my guy like that mane. He had gotten so big, as a kid I remember saying like, his body is too big, he not they same player. If he had continued to keep his body right, plus without the substance abuse issues, we talking about a guy that would’ve been a Hall of fame.
I really loved Kemp, he was my absolute favourite when I was a kid, he is a typical "bad guy" character, unfortunately that lifestyle of too much Pepsi and the girls, ground him up..regardless, he always remains a legend!
You will have money if you live for what you need and not what you want. Your wants are uncontrolled, but your needs are the things that discipline you.
Shawn Kemp my favorite player of any sports 💯💯 Rein man the Best Power Forward
Good content Q food reviews god bless
Great video
I love how you put Tyrone Biggums at the beginning of the video
Loved watching him play....#reignman💯
Man I know he would’ve been the man had he went to UK and NBA career would’ve been longer
He went. Just didn't play for them.
I LOVED seeing Vlottde Divac get dunked on and used by Shawn Kemp!

Reign Man was nothing but the truth!
30 For 30 did a special on NBA, NFL and MLB players and how they go broke, its a real eye opener. It was on CZcams, might have to look at it. Shawn was my favorite PF. He'll always be in my Top 5 (for that position) him and GP was so close he was in GP wedding. Even though he sucked in Cleveland he still made the All-Star team. Sad to see him decline like he did. Seattle should've did him better than that, but its all business at the end of the day. So that's probably on a bigger scale as to why they wanted to let him go. Had he kept in shape he could've stayed as great a player as he became. Him and GP still the best ally's in NBA History. IMO.
Seattle should of looked out! #40
Damn...Was a a huge fan...I mean I was so happy when he made it to the finals vs Jordan that year.
We still waiting your your stunted growth stunted growth!
Dope Video.
NBA Jam TE got me hip to the Reign man and the glove
Women, child support. alcohol, drugs and overspending is the same story with these guys. You just have to be smart and stay away from them period. Is easy to avoid all of this and do you play for 10 straight years and save your money and then have fun.
Don't have to avoid women...lol. Just be smart about who do deal w and don't drop a seed in her. Avoid the other things though....
Shawn " whole lotta Baby Mama's" Kemp
Zion Williamson Kemp SR ⛹
Shaw kemp was a beast! Regardless of what people believe when you are given millions at a young age most people will blow it!

He has like 30 Kids Actually About 15 Never the Less still a lot of Child Support.🤨

In the 90's that's a lot
A condom would leave these dudes with millions but they end up paying child support for kids they don't see

The best
My sister is friends with a lady who has children by Kemp. I guess he meet a guy a in Seattle that got him hooked on cocaine mixed with weed. From that point on he went downhill. It’s sad because he was one hell of a player. And I used to love how he shot his free throws. I used to try and copy the way he shot his free throws when’s I played basketball lol...
The Lister Blister is still my favorite Shawn Kemp dunk.
Kemp went to Concord high school in Elkhart, IN. We went to several games to see this amazing kid, at 6'9" he could dunk at will. Nowadays I suppose that's nothing special. Back then it was, at least to us.
I always said whatever a man worked for and earned is his to spend on whatever he wants even if he goes broke doing so.. his money and his bag.. you get yours and then you can practice what you preach against when it comes to another person's check..
This videos IS him getting his dummy...lol...
My favorite all time player 💯💯💯💯
Of all the NBA players sob stories, this one bothers me the most cause Kemp was my fave PF in his prime. Gosh he could fly out the gym. Hops for days. Solid shooter, athletic power dunker, solid defender. Sky was the limit for him. Threw it all away with the usual substance (alcohol/drugs). That’s the devil, it always wants to dance. 💃 😈
Kemp was my fav player back then, he was one of the players who sorta broke the mold.. a 6"10 (4) that could handle the ball, had range out to 18-19ft and was crazy fast/athletic.
The 16 guys taken b4 him is debatable. Tim Hardaway, Glenn Rice???
Samuel Sheff Those are the only two had comparable or better careers
WTF! Alot of the top 16 draft players in 89 had OUTSTANDING careers! Glen Rice? Sean Elliott? Tim Hardaway??????? You MUST be a millenial or a Gen Z.
Eddie Sutton like parents nowadays didn't look at his son and ask "how'd your uncool ass 🙄 get $700 worth of chains?"
This.
When I was a kid, I actually saw and met Shawn Kemp in the Jordan Down Projects....
Now that I'm grown, I thought to myself "Maybe he was buying and doing drugs when I seen him"
anchor.fm/kiero-b/episodes/LAKERS-adjustment-before-Game-2-ej6dmk
Kiero B Good point.
@@stuntedgrowth Jordan Downs is a project in Watts, CA
Wtf was he doing in the JDs???
@@AS-fz5dp 1) we don't refer to them as the "JDs" but I get it....
2)WHEN I SAW HIM, he was hanging with around the drug dealers outside they apartment. He stepped on the basketball court with the kids (my friends and I) and took 2 shots.
That's just what I remember.
But like I said, now that I'm grown and before I even seen this video, I always thought "Kemp was buying drugs over there"
Kiero B gotchu
All them babies 🤦🏾♂️
Women. Women. Women. That is why a lot of these athletes go broke.
Do it once... that's a mistake.
Do it twice ... that's a decision.
