    Kemp's first year in Cleveland was actually a pretty big success. He became the first ever Cavalier to start in the All-Star game (the second was LeBron James in 2005)! He led a team that was starting 3 rookies to the sixth seed in the East. I think he should have made the All-NBA 3rd Team that season. The future looked bright in Cleveland with such a young roster. But then the lockout happened, and it was all downhill after that. Odd that he had a career high in points in his fat year, maybe the extra bulk was actually helpful down in the post. However he lost his biggest advantage, his athleticism, and declined severely following that season.

    Kemp at 32 looked 40. I thought when he was with the Magic he was pushing late 30's.. Wow.
  • @GeoDude24
    How (*good* ) was Jason kidd on the Knicks or his second stint on the mavs? Won't stop until it happens
  • @SeanFerrell
    The '98 lockout ruined his career. He also had drinking problems in his last season in Seattle. After the lockout ended in January '99, he told the Cavs he thought they weren't coming back because he was over 300.
  • @oakshrorgaming
    Paul Pierce after the Celtics, Rodman after the bulls, Clyde drexler in Houston, the glove after Seattle, Dell Curry in general, drazen petrovich in general
  • I think he was still pretty good up until about 99/00, his last year in Cleveland. Once he got traded to Portland, it was a wrap
  • Still was decent ,but Seattle days extremely awesome and talented Shawn Kemp was. 1995-96 Seattle Supersonics my all time favorite team
  • @noemorales8330
    I would like to see a video about Scottie Pippen after the Chicago Bulls.
  • @Sameer_sd_15
    Third time is the charm bro, keep going‼️💪
  • Another great video man! You could do Kevin Garnett in Brooklyn, AI on the Grizzlies or Hakeem on the Raptors.
  • @Stasis_lmao
    Love the content, shows big promise, Since you mentioned him in the video how about a Pat Ewing in Orlando/Seattle video, I think everyone knows he was washed in lando but there’s a lot of people who don’t even know he played in Seattle
  • @gregrowe1168
    I didn’t realize how much weight he gained. His body just wasn’t built to handle that much beef. He needed to be lean to be explosive. Imagine Blake Griffin ballooning to 300 lbs. He would be totally ineffective.
  • I want so see Gary and Malone on the Lakers, do two in one video, or…Phillip Rivers/Wentz/Ryan/Brisset on the Colts. One of the four vet quarterbacks they brought in after Luck and before they drafted AR5, I’m a colts fan so I’d love to see one of those 4, Phillip especially
