Biggest star in Seattle sports history?

[Hack Wilson - real]

Kemp was one of my favorites too.  Dude was an exciting watch, even in Cleveland aka Basketball hell

[Sccit]

The reign man Shawn kemp was the fuckin man in seattle

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.

i remember he was tryna make a comeback and the lakeshow was lookin at him as a possible option, back around the kwame brown days

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.

too bad Shawn Kemp never had the longevity of Karl Malone

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.

Karl Malone is pretty much THE king of longevity


i hated the guy and also realize that he is one of the most despicable human beings to ever exist in utah (look at his knocking up of his 14 year old cousin) but you can't help but salute the athletic achievements of a dude who averaged about 21 and 8 at age 39. That's fucking crazy, as Em would say.

Oh no doubt about that. I always hated him too but there's no denying his track record.

Edit: I never heard anything about the cousin thing..

And fucking every bunch of desperate females out there & getting them pregnant.  Even I look better than him.

I never heard about the cousing thing till you mentioned it.  Well he's from the south where that's practically accepted.  He was also a hypocritical bully with Utah just like Whaq past orlando tenure.

Malone is the reason Magic didn't play 3-4 more seasons

I remember some shit a while back with Kobe's wife too, the guy just seems like a prick.

yep....

That's why I loved to see Rodman get in that ass, he used to grab Malone's ass and fucc with his head.  Rodman was also one of the most supportive of Johnson's return.  Johnson should've never had to retire in the first place, but the world was kind of in the dark about HIV at the time.  That 30 for 30 documentary about it is excellence, ficcaz was even afraid to hug Johnson. 

....Nobody can deny that Malone was a great player and a winner.  Had it not been for Jordan he would of had 2 championships.  And don't forget that the Jazz lost Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals in 1996.  They were that close to winning 3 Western Conference Finals in a row at a time when the West had 4 or 5 championship worthy teams.  The West had Hakeem's Rockets, Barkley's Suns, Robinson's Spurs, Kemp's Sonics...

i think HIV had a little something to do with Magic retiring early

[Sccit]

Check the history son.. Magic was ready to keep playin and was deemed physically ready by doctors. Malone was outspoken about not wanting to play with some1 who had HIV and single-handedly ruined it for magic
