Message: [QUOTE="jordville, post: 3667344, member: 3388"] Came across this recent interview of Shawn Kemp and it had some great stories... 1. In his rookie year, Shawn Kemp played just 13.8 MPG. He was so frustrated, that after Sonics games, he’d go to local Seattle courts and play pickup with fans. So many people came out to watch The Reignman, that the city shut down streets and has to control riots. Sonics then made him stop. I hadn't heard this one. 2. There were always rumors and some little nuggets about a Pippen for Kemp trade back in the day. Kemp not only confirmed it, but said it was a done deal until Seattle management pulled the plug on it because of fear from the Sonics fan burning down the building. I won't go into all if it, but it is worth a listen for NBA fans... [MEDIA=youtube]D6oIjwhr_0A[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
