Yeah, signing shitty Mcllavaine to that huge deal was really the beginning of the Sonics downfall from those teams in the 90's to mediocrity for most of the remainder of their time here. Kemp got pissed that they handed a huge deal to someone else and wanted out, traded him for Vin Baker who was a complete waste of talent.

It's too bad how it all worked out, was the beginning of the end for both kemp, and Seattle. Remember kemp was still putting up huge numbers against the bulls in the finals, dunking all over rodman. He was my favourite player next to MJ growing up as a kid. I remember my parents getting me a kemp jersey for my 10th bday, pretty much the best gift I ever got back then lol

Yeah, apparently after that final in '96 MJ actually told Kemp that he had the best series of anyone, which is obviously huge praise coming from someone with the talent/ego of Jordan lol. But yeah, dude had some issues with drugs and alcohol that fucked with him, but he's at least got his life together these days and actually owns a bar/restaurant in Queen Anne by where the Sonics used to play.

Yeah... Rodman also gave Kemp a lot of props. He said something like Kemp was the best power-forward he played against, and that he didn't whine like a pussy (like Malone) and that they just go after it for 48 Minutes and may the best man win.

Yeah, well he did it to himself with getting fat and fuckin around with drugs too much. Of course, a guy who relied on athleticism as much as him might have had a difficult time later on but it would've been interesting to see if he couldve adjusted.
