OT: Incredible Sean Kemp dunk reel!

[OrangeDW]

My 15 year old son said I had to Blake Griffin.

Blake is definitely up there. Lots of similarities to Kemp.

 

[JarHeadJim]

Has to ADD Blake Griffin

 

[skurey]

Wasn't dunking illegal or frowned upon in the old days? As always lol the past.

 

[cuseattle]

I guess you could say he was the father of the dunk, too soon?

Hey O!

 

[cuseattle]

Shawn used to go to my cusetroop spot a bit. Charlies on Broadway... RIP.
Never said boo to him, but there was always a girl on his left and right.

Damn. Twenty years ago.

He opened a little bar by where they used to play about 7 years ago ( Oscars) but it is gone.

Still though. Frederick Weis.

Sick.

Dominique's Top 10

Mr Wilkins must sometimes think at home, I'd make like 500 mil if I was a kid today.

From the following, apparently Dr. J dunked so hard on one dude that his dentures fell out. At least he could pick the corn out without making a scene

Sweet baby Jesus!!!

Sick.

The 360 in that one is ludicrously effortless so he's got wiggle enough to make flare 'great again'

 

[tee1222]

Imagine we had a Shawn Kemp recruiting thread nowadays? And we thought we had a silent verbal? I'll show myself out.

So he 360'd in a high school game, dunk #2 above. High school. And a no look give and go!

The handle made him such a weapon, on top of the raw ferocious power!
That made me feel old in a good way.

I've always said Vince Carter is the best dunker in NBA history, followed by Dominique.

I'm changing my vote. Forgot about the pre-chubby Reign Man. He takes the title.

Incredible that reel had a dunk for like each kid!

Kemp could have a dunk reel of just dunks he had on Chris Gatling.

I always really liked those old Sonic jerseys.

Kemp reversed dunked in traffic going down the middle of the lane more than anyone I've seen. Most only did it going baseline or on the break.

John Starks has got to be in my top 3 all time underdogs.
#neverforget #getoffme

My favorite dunk of all time, over the top of Jordan and Jerami's goggled uncle, at crunch time in playoff game no less(how many, if any, of these other dunks in this thread can you say something similar about?). I would give you more yous for that post if I could!

 

[JLine]

Think Kemp, and Carter are the two best in-game dunkers. Carter obviously had the longevity, but Shawn was a freak of nature. Kemp would make Blake look like a fool. They are 1a, and 1b to me.

Wish Shawn had a bit more success, for himself, and my entertainment. The Sonics were one of those teams I rooted for. Vince is still dunking on people in the league at 40. The top two in my eyes. Dunk contest wise, that's a different story but Vince probably had the best performance ever there too.

 

[JarHeadJim]

WOW some of MJ's playoff highlights!

 

[tee1222]

Do what you can. But I believe you can pull this off!

 

[tee1222]

As much as it pains me to watch most Knicks-MJ highlights, still was my favorite NBA player to watch.

You expected the impossible and still he always exceeded it.

Jordan Kilganon on The Dunk King is pretty sick...

 

[Zelda Zonk]

I'd have to put Kemp at the top. So many of his dunks were in traffic, and after making a pretty phenomenal move. Carter and MJ — a lot of their stuff(s), by virtue of being guards, came on breakaways, in clean air. And with Kemp, a big part of the drama was that he cuffed the ball, and sorta 'slung' it.

As Kramer might have said, "It's not the height of the dunk — it's the ferocity."

And, wow — Hakim. One of my favorite players to watch that we have ever had. Maybe not a Top 5 SU player, but definitely in my top 5 to watch.

John Wallace sighting at the 1:04 mark!!
