    one reason for the Sonics locker room tension in 1996-97 was Kemp being upset about them bringing in Jim Mclevaine to a big money deal

    In the 1990s, there were many very attractive and unique power forwards.
    Like the 2000s, the 1990s were a golden age for PF.

    That Kemp/Baker/Brandon Trade was actually great in 1998 and a disaster after that first year. The '99 lockout ruined Baker and Kemp for very similar reasons.

    to think him and Kemp were swapped for each other and then a year later they get way out of shape assuming the season would be cancelled and never be the same again, although had he stayed with the Bucks and played in the playoffs for them after George Karl arrived his Bucks career would likely be remembered much more fondly

    Seems like the 99 lockout affected quite a few of the players covered by this channel. On the bright side for Vin Baker he's gotten sober and won a championship as an assistant coach for the Bucks in 2021.

    I remember that young Bucks team, they were really building something special there but just like everyone else in that era the Bulls and Jordan were the the kings of the league. I loved watching Vin Baker play though he was definitely a one of a kind for that time frame in the league and he really set a new trend for years to come after getting drafted as a lot of teams were trying to find their own Vin Baker.

    This is such a fantastic series, great players that deserved to be remembered. One player I'd love for you to cover is John Drew one day. Statically Drew could have been a superstar and offensively hes one of at the Hawks great players. Unfortunately he got caught up in the NBA player drugs scandal in the early 80's and was one of the players who got banned for life. Its for this reason his careers been largely and purposely forgotten by the NBA. I think he'd be an interesting player to cover if you get the chance, ty

    I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. When Vin Baker was drafted in 1993, he was either Danny Manning or Brad Sellers. I believed he'd be more Danny Manning. I loved his ball-handling abilities. When he got traded to Seattle in 1997-98, I did not know, that he was such a capable outside shooter! But, after his disastrous 1998-99 season, the Sonics SHOULD have just let his contract expire, and let him go.
