    That video is back when power forwards were men, not these pussies that hang around the 3-point line today.

    Paging @sonics1993 for some stories of his years playing alongside the Reign Man.

    Imagine Kemp playing small ball 5 with four shooters around him. Omg.
    They weren’t far from it with Perkins, Det, Hawk and GP. They had the roster for sure.

    Gary might have been the only player MJ respected

    And even at that he got pissed that Gary said he should have guarded him from game 1

    Like USC respect???

    At the end of the 96 Finals Kemp was considered the second best player in the world and got some MVP consideration

    And then it went to shit for Seattle and Kemp

    Story of our? lives

    He wasn’t ever 2nd best. Karl Malone was always quite a bit better. Shaq is a no brainer too.
    Hakeem Olajuwon is a forgotten man.
    He probably was still better than Kemp in 96, but he was in decline. Same for Barkley and Ewing. They were pretty equal but Kemp was rising and they were in decline. Alonzo Mourning was right there as well.

    Kemp was good but Sonics fans have always overrated him.

    IMO Hakeem Olajuwon is the greatest center I've ever seen play. Never got to see Kareem.

    Olajuwon could block shots, run the floor, rebound, make free throws, plus passer, and could hit the mid-range jumper. The only thing he was missing was a three point shot

    Lew Alcindor was legit. The shit.

    Showtime Kareem could still do it -but UCLA Lew and Milwaukee/first few years in LA Kareem....unstoppable.

    Alonzo Mourning. Fuckin' A, man. His offensive "repertoire" was painfult to watch. A small notch above Dikembe.

    He averaged 23 and 11 in 95-96 and was either the best or 2nd best big man defender. Better numbers in every category than Kemp ever had and one of the better shot blockers of all time.

    He was on a worse team which is why I said he was close to as good. He’s right there and you’re a doog if you truly think Kemp was anything more than his equal at best.

    Yeah, he sucked on offense after being hurt and having cancer or whatever the fuck was wrong with him.
