So true bro...we even looked a lot alike although I'm only 6ft6 compared to his 6ft10 frame.. I loved being nicknamed Shawn Kemp on the courts...he was most definitely my dunking inspiration....bless you Reign Man!!! Good times!!! 👊
I love the reaction of Chris Gatling #5. It's like.. "Alright you got me. Nxt tym I will get you." And that's how basketball is suppose to be.. #Respect
I have always maintained my word that Shawn Kemp is the most talented big man to ever play the game. He should be in the hall of fame on that title alone.
What makes this even more impressive is that in that era, players played hard and with intensity on both ends, so doing stuff like this on offensive end was even more impressive
Oh yeah, tremble with fear at Mark Eaton's offensive capabilities, and you wouldn't want getting clamped every night by Kevin Johnson either as he holds you under 50 points.
I've never seen someone actually shake the hand of the person they dunked on. The guy's got a lot of respect on the court. Except for what he did to Alton Lister....
@@malkieri1672 The Kemp dunk was better and more entertaining. That Shaq dunk was downright disrespectful, he treated Dudley like a bitch, in fairness Dudley should not have been guarding Shaq especially one on one, that's about a 100 pound weight difference, Dudley 6'11 220, and Shaq 7'1 at least about 325 in his prime Lakers days.
One of my favorite dunkers !! 6'10" and moves like a cat !! Just one word OUTRAGEOUS !!! If he didn't try to be overly fancy sometimes he would have the all time FG % leader in NBA history. Unbelievable how he went to Hoop !!!
At 1:23, that is really good sportsmanship. To be dunked on like that yet go that person and say "Good job. You okay?" really shows not only a great player but a great man. When you look at highlights of dunks today, the dunker just is rudely cocky and doesn't even help or check to see if the person he dunked on is okay. That's why I see Kemp as one of my favorite players. Good to relive one of my favorite Sonics/Cavs players and to remember the team that was the Seattle Supersonics.
oG CpoTT True, there are those times that make me shake my head. But I feel that back in Kemp's time, Sportsmanship was on a higher pedestal and players had genuine care for each other.

I remember that incredible team with Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and Detlef Schrempf. I hope someday the Sonics will be back because it's the best team of NBA.
Me too. Had his Seattle home jersey. An allstar jersey and then his USA basketball team jersey. Loved them all. I grew up in Ohio where Supersonics swag was hard as hell to find but when I did I scooped it up.
I'm a Bulls fan, but I remember how loud that Seattle crowd used to get when Shawn Kemp would start getting lobs from GP. They had the hottest most exciting team in basketball, sad that they got basketball taken away.
I was a big Bulls fan back in the day. I remember gathering with all my friends one year to watch the dunk contest solely because Kemp was in it. I also remember that he gave Rodman and the Bulls fits in the Finals. We got through it, but some individual matchups aren't good and when Kemp was on Offense we couldn't figure out how to contain him. It's been said a trillion times now.......but god dang 1990's sports were ridiculously good and around a billion times more physical than now. Goons in Hockey......Football players being laid out if they go up high for a ball or go across the middle of the field......and Eastern Conference Basketball was very physical.....heck.....I remember Pippen getting dragged off the court becasue he got knocked out and the players were coming back to the side of the court where he was and he wasn't moving. I understand that everyone in every sport back then probably got a concussion at some point...heck......probably more than one and that's not good........ but i miss it soooooo much!!!!!!
@@cryptojedii LeFlop :) crying pussy. Shawn or Dominique Wilkins never flopped like that. He is a good player no doubt, Kemp was something special though. most of the Leflop`s dunks are boring. He used to jump crazy high though.

I read your post and checked it out again - I mean, yeah...that guy was about 5 feet in the air waving as Kemp passed by lol Thanks for the post! Really appreciated that!
Ahmad X Even if Seattle gets an expansion, we wouldn't see basketball like this up there for a WHILE. Took a little while to build that unit up. Ironically, Seattle was building a team up before, you know, they left and had some success in... wherever they went... Well, the sooner they get started, the better. I want to see GP's and the Reign Man's jersey hanging in Seattle.
I complete agree. I think the Sonics do need to be brought back. Gary Payton the best defender at pg I've ever seen, and Shawn Kemp one of the best dunkers ever.
I dunno. Sounds nostalgic and everything, but OKC made it to the NBA finals pretty quickly after that, and easily could've had better luck (think up 3-1 on GS, Durant leaving etc).
Best in-game dunked ever. And he did this in an era where defenses put up brick walls at the basket because defenses so great they got good technique physical and took away easy layups/dunks. Imagine if prime Kemp played in today's NBA? He'd dunk all game long it would be like he was in a dunk contest.
Kevin Calabro’s play by play commentary was taylor made for Shawn Kemp highlights, they go together like bread and butter. He gets so hyped up he sounds like he’s Kemp’s biggest fan. That “a thundering overhead slam!” call is legendary LOL.
Kemp was one of the few players that ALWAYS dunked like he just hated the rim. When he dunked, it was like he wanted to break the rim. Only guys like that right now are the Lob Bros and Quincy Acy.
Holy stuff. He was the most exciting player I've ever watched. The best power dunker of all time. Footwork was stupid. Rhythm was stupid. Power was stupid. I wish I could get the feeling he brought again from watching NBA.
How about Dominique Wilkins, or Clyde Drexler or Jordan, Pippen, Grandmama or Shaq, remember Kemp was phenomenal but he wasn't the only one he'll even Chrales Barkley would bring the house down with he's dunks also, oh and lest I forget the mailman Karl Malone. Always delivered.
Vince Carter was easily better. Shawn Kemp is the best in-game dunking power forward ever is a more accurate opinion. Though some might say Blake Griffin.
@@kole0117 difference is back in the days of kemp, they got to hammer people without getting a foul...vince was good but kemp was awesome, to bad he screwed up his career with drugs.

1:30 that's what I call sportsmanship and respect. shaking hands after a dunk. you don't see that anymore
Victor unless they fake u out😐
The energy and joy of dunking Kemp and the Sopersonics speaker together are gold! Not much more can be imagined and todays games look blunt.
Was my favorite player as a kid. Had 3 of his jerseys. Glad he was able to turn things around in his life
Me too. Had his Seattle home jersey. An allstar jersey and then his USA basketball team jersey. Loved them all. I grew up in Ohio where Supersonics swag was hard as hell to find but when I did I scooped it up.
This didn’t age well
@@Giodude530 yes, because I can predict the future…
Damn I miss this NBA
shawn dunking with the glove talking trash.
👊🍻
The pump fake reverse jam against the Nicks is probably the best dunk I've ever seen in my life. You could not dunk more impressively or beautifully
He has of the best in-game dunks ever. Even his reactions after the dunks are priceless!
I'm a Bulls fan, but I remember how loud that Seattle crowd used to get when Shawn Kemp would start getting lobs from GP. They had the hottest most exciting team in basketball, sad that they got basketball taken away.
Jon .Molina the OG lob city
Word man... I still don't have a favorite team nor favorite player, Seattle Supersonics 4ever, I give a damn on OKC
I was a big Bulls fan back in the day. I remember gathering with all my friends one year to watch the dunk contest solely because Kemp was in it. I also remember that he gave Rodman and the Bulls fits in the Finals. We got through it, but some individual matchups aren't good and when Kemp was on Offense we couldn't figure out how to contain him. It's been said a trillion times now.......but god dang 1990's sports were ridiculously good and around a billion times more physical than now. Goons in Hockey......Football players being laid out if they go up high for a ball or go across the middle of the field......and Eastern Conference Basketball was very physical.....heck.....I remember Pippen getting dragged off the court becasue he got knocked out and the players were coming back to the side of the court where he was and he wasn't moving. I understand that everyone in every sport back then probably got a concussion at some point...heck......probably more than one and that's not good........ but i miss it soooooo much!!!!!!
These days would be 18mnths incarceration for swagger alone
The most athletic big man ever in the NBA. He was super fast for a 6'10" player, could run full court and dunk over anybody, and the swag was epic.
Well said, that pretty much sums it up. The Reiiiiign Maaan!
Too bad these days they call technical for taunting, it was nothing but entertaining people
Nope - LeBron is the most athletic big man ever - and it's not even CLOSE!!!
@@cryptojedii LeFlop :) crying pussy. Shawn or Dominique Wilkins never flopped like that. He is a good player no doubt, Kemp was something special though. most of the Leflop`s dunks are boring. He used to jump crazy high though.
@@cryptojedii are u ok bro?
#7 is a thing of such rare beauty, I'm actually offended at how often it gets overlooked in NBA history. That fake gather was so smooth you could buff your car with it.
dude...yes, that hesitation was like liquid smooth
It was a total travel though. He takes like 5 steps lolol awesome dunk though.
Loved it!!
I read your post and checked it out again - I mean, yeah...that guy was about 5 feet in the air waving as Kemp passed by lol Thanks for the post! Really appreciated that!
Absolutely one of the most viscous finishers ever. He played pissed when he was young.
NBA should have kept the supersonics smh. Forget about okc. Bring the sonics back.
Ahmad X
Even if Seattle gets an expansion, we wouldn't see basketball like this up there for a WHILE. Took a little while to build that unit up. Ironically, Seattle was building a team up before, you know, they left and had some success in... wherever they went...
Well, the sooner they get started, the better. I want to see GP's and the Reign Man's jersey hanging in Seattle.
I complete agree. I think the Sonics do need to be brought back. Gary Payton the best defender at pg I've ever seen, and Shawn Kemp one of the best dunkers ever.
@@scootover7 and they had kd and they had Ray Allen and Jack sikma(balls) so much talent in there history
I dunno. Sounds nostalgic and everything, but OKC made it to the NBA finals pretty quickly after that, and easily could've had better luck (think up 3-1 on GS, Durant leaving etc).
What NBA Jam looks like in real life
needs more BOOM SHAKALAKA and IS IT THE SHOES
@@linuxblacksarena HES ON FIRE
@@linuxblacksarena Ironically, people are now asking "Is it the shoes?" when it comes to Zion Williamson, but for very different reasons lol xD
@@thebrokenglasskids5196 lol manu and bonner had shoe blowouts but it was no big deal unlike this one
N's Creations and Gunpla Review ha ha, good times.
Holy Smokes! 😍My favorite NBA era... and one of the most spectacular players ever played this beautiful game!
** SHAWN The Reign Man KEMP ** 👊
Best in-game dunked ever. And he did this in an era where defenses put up brick walls at the basket because defenses so great they got good technique physical and took away easy layups/dunks. Imagine if prime Kemp played in today's NBA? He'd dunk all game long it would be like he was in a dunk contest.
Dunker not dunked
Nope. That'll be Vince Carter.
Bob Hope Nice of you to provide a wrong answer. In reality we know Shawn Kemp is a much better dunker. Keep living in dream land.
Jay Zee Ok, buddy.
Bob Hope ROASTED
He's not my favorite player, but he's my old time favorite, nastiest dunker who ever played the game.
...great dunker, no doubt, but doesn't hold a candle to Vince. VC done all those dunks better.
Dominique Wilkins, Kemp, and Vince Carter top 3 dunkers of all time in my opinion.
Dude was a straight up bad ass. Loved watching his baseline spin move. Especially against Malone.
Kevin Calabro’s play by play commentary was taylor made for Shawn Kemp highlights, they go together like bread and butter. He gets so hyped up he sounds like he’s Kemp’s biggest fan. That “a thundering overhead slam!” call is legendary LOL.
Kemp had a great midrange jumpshot too!
Such a great player Kemp epic combination with Payton. The good old times of the NBA
Kemp was one of the few players that ALWAYS dunked like he just hated the rim. When he dunked, it was like he wanted to break the rim. Only guys like that right now are the Lob Bros and Quincy Acy.
Dunk #7 the slight hesitation and jump is liquid smooth, such a soft nuance
.....
Oh my lawwwwwwd.
These dunks were straight murderous.
Straight yammin on folks lol.
Too hot for TV
In my top 3 dunkers of all time along with Vc and Mj!
Sorry no Dominique.
kelvin ware no blake? c'mon i knoe you guys like the old players more.. but no blake griffin?
Fake ***** ... yeah... but i'm still right tho
Janinho897 Blake Griffin? Since your on a shawn video go look at the one when he talked about Blake end of discussion
d.wilkins.kemp the top 2 there the only 2 that u see do all kinds of monster dunks in traffic,
Holy stuff. He was the most exciting player I've ever watched. The best power dunker of all time. Footwork was stupid. Rhythm was stupid. Power was stupid. I wish I could get the feeling he brought again from watching NBA.
Kemp was brutally entertaining! Growing up, he was joy to watch
The best in game dunker of all time. I remembered all them dunks. He was ahead of his time.
Kemp is prolly number 5 on my all time dunker list behind: 1. Dirk 2. Stockton 3. Ryan Miller and 4. Shawn Bradley
Hahahaha!!!
I'm like Dirk, Stockton? Wtf? Lmao
STOCKTON? Dafuq he never dunked,ever
jasun calimag Bruh......
Funny...Bradley had mad hops!!!
Shawn Kemp and GP were a crazy duo.. people sleep on them.
Shawn Kemp was dunk itself
1. Will always be my favourite but all ten was amazing
3 plays from 1993-94 and 3 from the 1992 playoff series against GS
In his prime NO ONE, I mean NO OTHER PLAYER ON EARTH could dunk like him. The MASTER OF DUNKS! 🔝🔝🔝
How about Dominique Wilkins, or Clyde Drexler or Jordan, Pippen, Grandmama or Shaq, remember Kemp was phenomenal but he wasn't the only one he'll even Chrales Barkley would bring the house down with he's dunks also, oh and lest I forget the mailman Karl Malone. Always delivered.
@@はいたわごとを食べる but they don’t have the quickness of speed, and intensity like Kemp has on the dunk’s.
Shawn Kemp makes blake griffin look like a low rank amateur when it comes to dunking.
And when it comes to everything else as well :)
Blake who?
Be careful, Griffin might back out his Kia and add a scooter for his next dunk. Lol
Did kemp ever jump over a car and dunk?
I don’t know if I’d go that far, Blake’s a pretty bad ass dunker too.
To look Kemp at this era was epic! Now only on videos is not the same.
I love his dunk over Gatling. Pure on-court respect.
Kemp was the best in game dunker of all time. Hands down, not even close!
someone forgetting Vince...
Dominique "Human Highlight Film" Wilkins
Vince Carter was easily better.
Shawn Kemp is the best in-game dunking power forward ever is a more accurate opinion. Though some might say Blake Griffin.
Vince? Bryant?
@@kole0117 difference is back in the days of kemp, they got to hammer people without getting a foul...vince was good but kemp was awesome, to bad he screwed up his career with drugs.
In today's soft NBA he would have gotten fined with that last one lol.
Hey Ricky! How are you doing? Hope you are enjoying the summer! How's The Familia?
It was nice meeting you at the event!

I am doing great, this summer... it's been very bumpy for me, just in the process of recovering. The Familia is still a go just a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on right now, it was nice meeting you as well I'm sure we'll see each other again.
That was disrespectful, but great lol
And it's the best one! I would do it anyway. It's funny as hell, the funniest I've ever seen in the nba in fact.
He straight up clowned him after it lol
Pure exuberance, he was so exiting to watch back then. That dribble on number 4 was fantastic handle then dream ending
Kemp never broke a backboard not because he couldn't, but because he didn't want to. Nobody dunked harder than Kemp in the history of the NBA. Yea i said it.
Shaq..
I definitely agree with you on that!
+silvermask123 shaq didn't dunk harder, he just weighed alot more and hanging on the rim
Deandre Jordan and Russell Westbrook was pretty good too
Agreed...nuff said!
Imagine if he never went to drugs in early 2000s. He could have gone down as one of greatest players ever imo.
"He brought the SMOKE." We said that back in the 90's? Lol
Lol
Yes.
Brought some SMOKE actually sounds pretty cool. Yeah, people used different phrases. Imagine that. And they were able to express themselves articulately using actual words, instead of dumb acronyms. LOL!
The third dunk degree of difficulty is off the charts but the 1st one is pure poetry..Respect The reign man young fellows
Dunk competition dunks in-game. Phenomenal athlete even by today's standards.
The best in game dunker of all time.
What about Nique
@@paulomirandaarias9544
1. Shawn Kemp
2. Vince Carter
3. Julius Erving
4. LeBron James
5. Michael Jordan
6. Dominique Wilkins
Agreed. Kemp was the best or at least one of them mainly thanks to the aggressive way (he dunked in traffic). No bones about it.
@@louisstephens2965 James does have a good amount of good ingame dunks. It's just that James lacks diversity.
@@ktapreswreckd921v9 Dominique created the aggressive, in traffic, tomahawk slam. Check him out #6 on this video: th-cam.com/video/7Ju0mAzCLeA/w-d-xo.html
amazing game time dunks even by 2014 standards
Shawn Kemp....by far one of the most Athletic ballers to ever play the game. Phenomenal and Explosive, some of the things he did have not been done since. Incredible!
1:25 i like that respect
I think there was something wrong with his gravity..
ya... he had it turned off!
Cosimo De Medici hahaha hell yea he did
I miss the Seattle SuperSonics!!!2019😎
I miss these days! Those dunks were LIT af!
He was the man! Truly awesome!
I don't know if I've ever seen #3 happen in Basketball ever, let alone in an NBA game.
That was absolute beast dunk I agree but look at D.Wilkins in game dunk highlights as well.
+Yogen Grg I know, Dominique is also a freak, but Kemp seemed more powerful.
he is my cousin
Nique is the only other dunker that can do that, actually that was dunk of the night on a Friday night on TBS and Ernie called it, I thought it was Nique.
I had to rewind that to see if I saw it correctly
That's a bad man
0:16 RIP Cliff Robinson :(
RIP Cliff Robinson
Low key guy, but a solid player.
Gives me goosebumps this video.
