Kemp was committed to play for Kentucky but he failed the SAT so he went to a community college but didn’t play there

@@collincaruthers6444 false that would be Reggie Harding in 1962 tho since the rules stated that a player must have been graduated for a year prior to the NBA he was drafted but did not play til the following year. But still the first drafted. Then in 1974 Moses Malone was drafted into the ABA which of course merged with the NBA in 76. Then Darryl Dawkins and Bill Willoughby declared eligible in 1975 and were granted the ability to since neither were going to college and cited financial hardship thus bypassing the year ineligibility.

i gotta say, one of kemps weakness was his foul troubles.

He averaged 3.6 fouls a game his entire career. Thats not awful. Particularly for a PF which often can get called for foulss via charge and post defense hacks. Karl Malone averaged 3.1 Chris Webber 3.2 Shaq 3.4 Barkley 3.1 Amare Stoudamire 3.2.. and playing in the George Karl defensive scheme... wasnt awful.

Actually it's those unnecessary turnovers as result of him forcing it too much sometimes.

I miss the Sonics. You mean to tell me that Seattle can't support an NBA team. But Oklahoma City can? That's sad shit.

I'm a long time Sonics fan and native to WA State. The area is an economic powerhouse in the country, but it's politically bankrupt. So while Seattle could easily support a team with money, it's simply can't find the political will to see it through.

He wasn't even trying! It took him more effort to get up off that chair at the beginning than his first 6 points. He eventually warmed up, but you could tell it took him a few minutes.

Was he as unguardable as Jordan? In every video: Too fast, too quick, too strong, too athletic for his opponents AND armed with a mid-range?

See kids? A “lack of hustle” back then meant “no defense” in the all-star game. Looks like a regular season NBA game now and today’s all-star game is a fucking joke.

Kemp getting fouls in the all star game. Never got the all star calibur player calls but. Kemp was 207cm tall for those curious. Hakeem was 6'11

Kevin Love and Lebron James stand eye to eye and scalp to scalp and they are listed at 6'8, Scottie Pippen and Magic Johnson have been in lots of pictures with Lebron James and they are EXACTLY the same height and Kemp is taller than both of them. Now with the current NBA height listings it's supposedly more accurate. Kevin love was in a picture with Shawn Kemp recently and Kemp is easily 1.5-2 inches taller than Kevin love. Your measurements of 207cm put Kemp under 6'8 doesn't make any sense even from a common sense standpoint. Scalp to Scalp Kemp and Alonzo Mourning are approximately the same height and both around around 1-1.5 inches shorter than Hakeem and this would put them Close and maybe just Under Dwight Howard who is listed officially now at 6'10 flat footed and around an inch shorter than Hakeem; you can see this in their workout they had together. Kemp is at the very least a solid 6'9 flat-footed and with shoes a little over 6'10.

@@raurman4946 you're using the wrong scale. 207cm is 6 foot 9.496 inches but 6.79 feet, you get it. 6'10 is only 208.3 cm Kemp joining the league so young it wouldn't suprise me if he grew 1cm
