He should have been one of the great players of his generation, if not all-time.

Instead... Well...

i doubt he'll come back. i didnt read the article, but hes a spent force.

had he kept himself in proper condition throughout his early career he woulda been around now still.

shawn kemp...i coulda swore some one shot him already...wow that was mean..ANYWAY

yeah, it was a good read...and id love to see him come back...theres just one problem...i cant see him coming back...after the whole cocaine thing..and him gaining like 70 pounds in a year...nahh...he may be good..but that was back in the day...now you got LeBron, stoudamire, garnett, duncan...all the young guys that either just made it big or have been makin a name for themselves since his departure....

if he does come back...i dont expect it to be any longer than a year...two at max...but i wouldnt count on it...although im gonna keep a mental note to check up on his status

Wow, that crazy. It was so long ago that he played for the Sonics. That's from when I was in elementary school!

Haha, thanks. :)

I don't actually know much about bball (I used to play, but I never watch on TV), but aunt and uncle and their family were all crazy about the Sonics during that time, so I know about old school Supersonics.

he's gonna flop. big time, he's out of shape and being out of the game isn't helping him

flop, we'll see. if he can get his shit together for three good seasons that'd be nice. i see him playing an antonio mcdyess type roll, coming off the bench for 20 mins a game and getting 10 and 10.

i dont know about recently, i know he voluntarily went to rehab. he's doing this for himself, and to prove something to himself and not the money. i think he has the desire and will to do this.

does he have a team to play w/ yet or is he gonna go as a free agent?

if he comes back he will be the Alonzo Mourning of the team...off the bench...not many points but still having big blocks, defensive stops, and crashing the boards

but like i said before...doubt it will last over a year

I really don't see it happening but whatever happens happens.

I'd love to see it happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

But forget about Kemp, speaking of old Supersonics, let's hear it for Detlef Schrimf!

Kemp leads the league with the most illegitimate children. But, seriously, I miss the old Kemp, I hope he does well.

you think he's asked his ten kids yet?...totally kidding. that would be an awesome comeback. props to the guy for getting his stuff together. i would really like to see this happen, but im still a little skeptical.

He needs to lose a lot of weight... and stop fathering illegitimate children

kemp's only coming back to try to rip off a team and make some quick money to support his 12 kids, he'll be out of the league in two months.

if you read the article you'd see it's not about the money...he doesnt have to do a damn thing the rest of his life he's set.
