I was an still am a Kemp fan, I was fortunate to have saw him play live a bunch of times including the 96 finals. Not a game could go by without him making the crowd explode in cheer with one of his dunks. He had a nice twenty foot jumper as well that he'd hit from the baseline. He was one of the best power forwards in the game during the nineties, up there with Barkley and Malone.
Sonics had a game plan for M.J., however they forgot the '96-'98 Bulls were a different team that featured M.J., Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, Kerr, Harper, and a slew of others that contributed to their 2nd 3-peater 😊!!!
Yeah, Kerr not an Allstar or Hall of Famer. Harper not an Allstar or Hall of Famer. Pippen and Kukoc, became good because of Jordan, and Rodman, the only self made Hall of Famer without Jordan. Jordan didn't recruit other "self made Allstars and future Hall of Famers like LeBron did to capture his chips. Jordan basically took a bunch of mediocre players and won...that's GOAT
The year Seattle went to the Finals I just knew Kemp was destined to be an all time great because he was unstoppable in that series. Like many of us in this life personal demons can wreak havoc and damage a promising future regardless of our potential. Salute to the Reign Man!
@@winsfairclough9844 😏 The Bulls could have beat the Sonic with Michael Jordan leading the way regardless of how healthy Gary Payton was at the time ✅ Who cares about how much Mike scored against him❓
Thing with MJ is that he took what the game gave him and overcame every single hardships that came along. He didn’t falter. He adjusted and got better as the game progressed. MJ played by FEEL. It’s why his game didn’t look so “cookie cutterish” he was creative “on the fly”. All those INSANE moves he made was thought out at that moment he did it. Not practiced. Just a special talent that we won’t see ever again……
There's an unwritten rule in professional sports. You do not agitate the beast. And you do nothing but give them a reason to reach down into that place that they are trained to do and not only amp up the pressure but find other ways to beat you. It's like being a quarterback talking s*** to the defense in an NFL game or college game or any game. They will injure you just to prove a point. Fear is healthy. It checks the angry spirit. You use it properly.
When legends “measure” the entire game next to one player … there is NO comparison or conversation. That conversation only started because of main stream media stroking one man’s ego . The same man who is wearing French maid outfits at the DIDLERS . Nuff said .
Coming from the Chi, I respected you and GP's game, however that series was probably our easiest out of the 6 rings(Lakers, Seattle, Phoenix and Utah) and had to deal with Detroit during the regular season(wars). I was in mourning 😢 with MJ during this time as well. Much respect Shawn 🫡
Good point. One of the reasons MJ era made him the goats of goat. If Lebron lost to San Antonio for 3 years straight, he would quit and went to another team. MJ stuck with it and became the undisputed goat because of his athleticism, skills and mental resolve. His mental resolve can be thanked by him of course but no better team than those pistons to give him that ultimate challenge.
My favorite line I’ve ever read in sports illustrated from back in the day: “I don’t think Mike came out of retirement to get beat by Hersey Hawkins…” 😂
23, 10, & 2blk on 55%. 1 Reignman baseline spin move on The Worm reverse back slam Kemps legs landing on The Worms shoulders. '96 Finals vs Bulls 🔥. Suuuuuupa Sooooonics! ⚡⚡
Everyone was afraid of MJ. No one is afraid of Leflop. In fact, you'd want to face the Princess in the finals because you know you have a very good chance of winning/sweeping him.
I had a pair of his shoes. To this day they are the heaviest, hottest shoes I've ever worn. That's not slang either. They were like weights and make your feet sweat lol
Shout out to Shawn Kemp. Hard as they come. Respect.
😏 For real ✅ 👍🏽
Watch his interview bout him and Bird. 🤣🤣
Rain Man!!! ☔️
One of the greatest. 💯
SHAWN KEMP NOT LYING. WHEN JORDAN GIVE YOU THAT LOOK IT'S OVER FOR THE OPPONENT.
Empowered with ruthless determination and will. Is what happens when the look happens
HE ALTERED HIS GAME PLAN EVERY NIGHT.....iam done 🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏿♂️
Loved watching S Kemp dunk 😊
His dunk on Rodman in that series was definitely on of the best.
Yo... @nattadam4171,
Ion care wut NOBODY says bout u in life....I fux w u!
That reverse dunk!
MJ had already been battle tested by the Piston’s.
Yep.Seattle was a great defensive team, but in terms of physicality/intimidation tactics, they were child's play compared to the Bad Boy Pistons.
True ✅
@@dirtyface-capone7622 😏 Yup ✅
Facts
Mike went through basketball wars, took his lumps and overcame to become a BEAST/GOAT.
Shawn Kemp one of my favorite and he was on the most powerful force in the game God bless him...
MJ bad Man ❤ !!! 😊👍🙏
Mike Jordan bad Man !!! One of My Favorites (MJ) ❤ !!!
The baddest man (MJ )who ever stepped out on the court..only Kobe was remotely close.
Much respect to Shawn Kemp.
On the court yep, off the court thumb down
Rain man my favorite
Reign Man
Kemp was good but didnt reach the greatness his talent should have easily been able to achieve.
With Dustin Hoffmann of course.
@@leonardcharles59 he wasnt a ego maniac or a ball hog. dude just loved to playyyyy. bring back my sonics!

@@tylerscholar5063 True ✅
pipppen was a great player lol
Shawn Kemp. The swag dunk king. The man had so much swag with his dunks.

Like many of us in this life personal demons can wreak havoc and damage a promising future regardless of our potential. Salute to the Reign Man!
RESPECT.. 👌
Thank you Rain! Bcuz Gary tells a much cornier version
Kemp is much more humble and real. Gary wants to inflate himself.
Look at the stats before Gary got injured, 23 pp then look at the stats after

Totally irrelevant comment here. You’re seeking attention.
Shawn talk real love real respect for Mike, but Rainman will alley oop all over you 😂
MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE BLEEPING G.O.A.T. HOW MANY TIMES MUST I SAY THIS.
It's definitely an original take. Keep saying it and maybe people will understand that he's clearly an underrated player.
G0AT!!! N0T UNDERRATED BUT GOAT...end of discussion @@chadinfinitum1411

I wanted the Sonics to win, but what you really mean about Mike in the Finals is that he never felt threatened; the Bulls had it in the bag.
You couldn't stop MJ
MJ is the real GOAT you couldn't stop him
You couldn't STOP him,
--- Shawn Kemp
TRUTH IS REAL!!!!!!
Make it reign Shawn! Love ya brotha! Peace
That's a lot coming from a beast like Shawn Kemp. Kemp was an Awesome player.
MJ .... the GOAT forever
He aint lying about that look MJ gives you. That's when you knew it was over with.
One thing people may not have known or noticed, MJ adapted to changes and challenges
And Kemp played his heart out those finals ..!!
...Best IN GAME dunker Ever..
Vince Carter and Dr. J may have a little something to say about it.
That sonic team broke the record in 3pt fgs that yr 1st real 3pt team
Kemp one of my favorite Basketball players. And MJ is one of my favorite Basketball players.
One of my favorite player of all time ❤ The rain man 🎉
20 years from now they won't be talking about LeBron like this. MJ has different and that's why he is the GOAT
Built different and Blunted 💜🤙✌️
Every team tried it with physicality on MJ!
Imagine 5% of that physicality on LeFlop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Says someone that will never be in that position to flop!
LBJ would have died IF THEY WAS that physical with em. Lol
@@gregorywilks1036
I would not flip and also not flop! 🙄
Btw we are talking about LeFlop and Black Jesus MJ!
My story is not important 😂😂😂😂
@@travisstrickland7270
5% of that would kill him in his first week 😂😂😂
Falling crying whining

Coming from the Chi, I respected you and GP's game, however that series was probably our easiest out of the 6 rings(Lakers, Seattle, Phoenix and Utah) and had to deal with Detroit during the regular season(wars).
I was in mourning 😢 with MJ during this time as well.
Much respect Shawn 🫡
Shawn Kemp looks like Chris Tucker's older brother who keeps asking him for money and always tries to borrow his car.
The Jordan Rules Pistons didn’t know what they created. They tried to break him and ended up making him even better
Good point. One of the reasons MJ era made him the goats of goat. If Lebron lost to San Antonio for 3 years straight, he would quit and went to another team. MJ stuck with it and became the undisputed goat because of his athleticism, skills and mental resolve.

Shawn K.. was the TRUTH..jus imagine if he would have taken ball serious..unstoppable..I'm jus say'n
I'm a Cavs fan we hated the Bulls. Got to call him the goat though.
🗣️📢 PREACH BROTHER❗
Shawn kemp is still the man !
Piston Celtics Lakers sixers Cleveland cavaliers taught Michael lesson in the 80s
Shawn Kemp was the most entertaining player to watch in the 90s
23, 10, & 2blk on 55%. 1 Reignman baseline spin move on The Worm reverse back slam Kemps legs landing on The Worms shoulders. '96 Finals vs Bulls 🔥.
Suuuuuupa Sooooonics! ⚡⚡
MJ was a Bad Man all the time Lol.
...the League, but the Reign Man was niice, loved 💖 his game but the women got to him just like Dwight Howard, Shaq...
Men got to Dwight and his back problems....
He ain't lying.
Shawn Kemp in this era would've been better than bron.
Kemp had mad disrespect for the basketball rim!
Cuzzo played good in 96 finals against the Bulls
The rain man sure used to dunk on MJ and Denise Rodman like a flying saucer.
The rainman!!!👏👏👏👍💪
Finally a little respect, usually he just talked shit
Real talk 😂
I remember that look, you might as well have gone and sit down, cause MJ was gonna eat you alive all night long.😂😂
Camp he was the man too, bro
Reighn Man
Shawn is very modest and humble. He had the best performance in the 1996 NBA. I think Kemp blocked MJ twice in that series
Kemp is Hall of Fame!🤬
Everyone was afraid of MJ. No one is afraid of Leflop. In fact, you'd want to face the Princess in the finals because you know you have a very good chance of winning/sweeping him.
well you have to be proud, you were the only team who left mike down 30 points average in all his finals.
Shawn Kemp was a problem himself. These kids nowadays will never know.
Shawn looking like he's skyhigh on weed bro, eyes almost closed, not talking all that coherently, wtf...
He always looked like this lol
I wore your shoes in 7 th grade
I had a pair of his shoes. To this day they are the heaviest, hottest shoes I've ever worn. That's not slang either. They were like weights and make your feet sweat lol
Me too
Thats the difference between LeBron and Mike, Nike always played that way LeBron you gotta piss off to play that way
Jordan didn't beat us, Rodman is...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Huh???? Test Mike.....Shawn he had to get past The Bad Boys, those little love taps in '96 wasnt shit mane. 😂😂😂😂
This chap is better than Lebron
No one like Jordan off the court! lol
Today's NBA so soft. No physicality at all. No defense. Like YMCA open court now.
No, Rodman played well. Watch the series, not highlights.
Yeah kinda reminds me of how Kyrie won the 2016 Finals for the Cavs.Kyrie & Rodman deserve more props!😃
Ale on okropnie wygląda 😣
