Shawn will turn 38 in two days. First of all an early happy birthday Shawn. I hope you are happy in your life today. Sadly you didn’t return to NBA and chances of you doing so are gettin’ smaller every day. I’m a big fan you, I live in Belgium and I have your Authentic white ’94 Sonics jersey, I think I am the only one in Belgium to have one. I still wear it during my basketball practice thinking of you in your prime, especially the finals vs the Bulls which I saw when I was 16 years of age. You are the most sensational player ever !!! Peace!
Hello, I’m desperately looking for a description of the “Rain Man” by Micheal Cage !
It’s about hearing a storm coming, and it ends by “and it rains down on you !”. I’ve seen it years ago, and can’t find it :/
If someone can help me, I’ll be glad !
171. Nicole December 25th, 2007 - 22:51
Happy belated birthday to Shawn. I was just thinking about Shawn’s birthday 10 years ago. I drove to Charlotte to watch his team play the Hornets. The Hornets won, but I was happy to have been there.
Just another thought: If Shawn sincerely loves the game, but can’t make it in the NBA, perhaps he could join the D-League. It could give the D-League the kind of exposure it needs to gain popularity while giving Shawn the confidence and joy he could use.
I love Shawn and personally, I would watch him in the WNBA!
172. Tuomas December 27th, 2007 - 11:14
Description, Rémi?
You got it, goes something like this: ”Now, I’ve been saying all along that this guy… is like a hurricane. I mean, you can see him coming (from) a mile away, you can see the storm buildin’ on the horizon, you feel his breeze before he gets there, and when he gets there he rains down on you”.
Good stuff, don’t quite know when he said it though. NBA Action aired it sometime during the 93/94 season (probably in March or February), but I’m not sure if I still have it on tape. That was Cage’s last year with the Sonics, big shout-out to a man with great heart and tremendous rebounding skills.

Kemp looks to improve, create own image
WEDNESDAY’S SCORES
By Terry Massey – The Sun News
Charles Slate/The Sun News
Cherokee’s Shawn Kemp Jr. shoots a free throw during the second half against Monsignor Pace.
MYRTLE BEACH –Cherokee (Ga.) doesn’t want to be judged by its first game in the Beach Ball Classic, an 80-57 loss to Monsignor Pace (Fla.) in Wednesday’s opening round.
Neither does Cherokee center Shawn Kemp Jr., who would prefer not to be compared to his infamous father and former NBA star Shawn Kemp Sr.
The 14-year NBA veteran’s namesake was held to seven points and four rebounds in the lopsided loss, producing less than half his season average in both categories.
“We didn’t play well at all,” Kemp said. “I don’t know if it was the six-hour [bus] ride – we only got here like 45 minutes before the game – or what it was, but we’re better than that.”
Cherokee, which won 25 games last year, didn’t live up to its lofty expectations, which is something the younger Kemp is familiar with. Along with his name comes the prejudices people place on him because of his father, who was known for his on-court talents and off-court troubles.
“It’s a lot of pressure that other players don’t have to deal with,” Kemp Jr. said, “but I hope I can live up to those expectations someday.”
Watching the 6-foot-9, 215-pound junior play, one word comes to mind – potential. Despite his height and raw athleticism, you can see a future star inside his gangly frame waiting to come out.
“He’s still real young and really doesn’t have a whole lot of experience at this level,” said Cherokee coach Steve Kvam. “He was ineligible part of last year and played behind [Cherokee-to-Dunwoody transfer and Florida State signee] Chris Singleton. He’s a good player, a lot better than he showed today, but he’s going to get a whole lot better.”
Several top college programs have recognized his potential. Rated by Rivals.com as the eighth best center in the Class of 2009, Kemp is being widely recruited and has narrowed his short list to Florida, Kentucky and Washington.
Kemp Sr. originally committed to Kentucky before being suspended prior to his freshman season, then started a trend of players bypassing college to go straight to the NBA. The younger Kemp has no such plans, and even his father advises against it.
“I talk to him on the phone every once in a while,” Kemp Jr. said. “He wants me to go to college and get my education first.”
Wednesday’s game also was a bit of a learning experience for Kemp and his teammates. Ryan Fleming and Chase Watkins scored 17 and 16 points, respectively, and the team shot 60 percent in the losing effort.
But Kemp, who had his hands full with Pace’s Ray Shipman and Terrace Saintil most of the game, committed five of his team’s 22 turnovers while wearing down against Pace’s full-court pressure.
“I would say we executed our game for about the first six or seven minutes and that’s about it,” Kvam said. “We didn’t handle their pressure very well.
“It seemed like every time Shawn touched the ball he turned it over, but it wasn’t just him. Our whole team effort was lacking and we’ve got to turn it around.”
Kemp and his teammates will have at least two more Beach Ball games to show they are capable of playing better against some of the nation’s elite teams.
“We know we can play better,” Kemp Jr. said, “and I know I can play better.”
Just as every team gets new life in its next game, every son gets a chance to become his own man.

I cant wait for the NBA the return to Seattle, i have a vision of all the legends in the the house opening night, Lenny Wilkins, Downtown Freddy Brown, Jack Sikma and all the rest, re-raising their retired jerseys back into the rafters one at a time in the brand new XBOX Arena, and as part of the event Shawn and Gary Payton also raise their jerseys as well, Seattle has always loved and will continue to love Shawn Kemp unconditionally, He is my favorite player all-time and has earned a place in the hearts of all Sonics fans.
…and by the way, i have spoke to other fans around the NBA and we all agree the best way to protest the crime that happened with OKC stealing our beloved Sonics and blaming it on the fans (which couldnt be further from the truth) is to not buy any OKC merch and remain silent during their possessions during games, please spread the word, OKC should have had to wait in line like other cities hoping to get an NBA team instead of stealing one, Take Care, J

Shawn Kemp Jr. knows all about expectations
By Rob Miech · July 24, 2008 · 9:54 PM
No. 42 for the Worldwide Renegades of Atlanta dragged that big old burden into the Silverado High auxiliary gym Thursday night at the Reebok Summer Championships.
Then he spent as much time on the bench as he did in the game.
Shawn Kemp Jr. noticed that his team pulled even with its opponent, then pulled away to win in the final minutes, with him in foul trouble on the sideline.
“That’s all right,” he said.
With a name like that, Junior might be carrying more weight on his shoulders than any other player in any of the three summer tournaments being staged in Las Vegas.
A top-100 national prospect by one recruiting service, the 6-foot-9 forward from Canton (Geo.) Cherokee High has come to terms with his name after four years in organized basketball.
“It’s a burden,” he said. “People expect me to be like him. I try to be my own person. I’m not my dad. I do what I do.”
Thursday, that meant spending a lot of time in a plastic chair in a tiny gym that was filled with collegiate coaches, parents and fans.
His father, the five-time NBA All-Star who reportedly made $64 million during his career, was not in the building.
Junior is the eldest son of Shawn Kemp, who has fathered at least eight kids with six different women.
“Out of the Reign Man’s scattered DNA,” wrote Sports Illustrated, “has grown another power forward who has played his way onto the national recruiting radar.”
Shawn Kemp Jr., the 17-year-old budding star with the size-19 feet – he’s expected to sprout to 7 feet by age 21 – has had a sporadic relationship with his biological father.
They’ve never lived under the same roof. They’ve never shot hoops together. In 2000, after an NBA game in Atlanta, Junior spoke with pop in person for the first time in four years. A half-brother and half-sister have contacted Junior via the Internet.
Senior rang two years ago, wanting to work on a relationship. Junior might work out with the old man, who’s 38, at his home in Houston when the summer circuit dies down.
He doesn’t play like his dad, Junior has heard from fans. He’s not good.
“Then I started getting better,” said Shawn Kemp Jr. “Yeah, I’ve had a lot to prove, to coaches, just everybody. But I’ve overcome it. I’ll handle it.”
Shawn Kemp Sr. was kicked out of Kentucky before he played a game for the Wildcats. A year later, he made himself available for the NBA draft.
He met Genay Doyal in 1989, in Seattle, soon after the Sonics picked him in the first round. Junior was born in 1991. Senior and Doyal never married, and Doyal moved to Atlanta with Junior when he was 5.
“He tells me to go to college,” Junior says. “He says I need to go to college and get an education, and try to go to the NBA.”
The tattoo on his right shoulder has SK and the No. 40 — his father’s number with the Sonics — inside a basketball.
Alabama, Georgia, Cincinnati and Mississippi supposedly have offered him scholarships, and Washington and Indiana might be somewhere in the mix.
He said he only knows of offers from Alabama and Auburn.
Kemp showed some smarts Thursday. He failed to bite on one foe’s drive to the hoop, instead staying low to block out his man. The driver missed. Kemp snagged the rebound.
On a pick-and-roll, he didn’t look too graceful trying to snatch the pass for an easy shot on the left side. But, to be fair, it was a lazy, low pass, and it landed out of bounds.
He played very good denial defense but his fade-away 12-foot jumper was way off. He spent the final seven minutes on the bench, cheering his teammates to victory.
“Play hard and work hard,” Kemp Jr. said he has learned from Senior, “and always do your best.”
i own a 1994-95 green away, game worn, signed SK jersey.
and a 1997-98 cavaliers home white, game worn, signedjersey
i would part with them for the right price.
if your interested let me know here, and.
Nik
199. Rox August 4th, 2008 - 18:03

Hi, I’m Babis from Greece, and I am a huge fan of the Reignman!
I recently read that Shawn is thinking of playing in the Italian basketball league, with Montegranaro. Is it true?
I would be thrilled to see Shawn playing again after all these years!
Also, I am looking for a pair of Reebok Kamikaze II, tha Kemp used to wear in 95′-96′. I had a pair when I was younger, and I would to find one again. Especially if it is a size 12. If anyone has them please email me @ babis200sx@yahoo.gr
Thanks.

I cant wait for the NBA the return to Seattle, i have a vision of all the legends in the the house opening night, Lenny Wilkins, Downtown Freddy Brown, Jack Sikma and all the rest, re-raising their retired jerseys back into the rafters one at a time in the brand new XBOX Arena, and as part of the event Shawn and Gary Payton also raise their jerseys as well, Seattle has always loved and will continue to love Shawn Kemp unconditionally, He is my favorite player all-time and has earned a place in the hearts of all Sonics fans.
…and by the way, i have spoke to other fans around the NBA and we all agree the best way to protest the crime that happened with OKC stealing our beloved Sonics and blaming it on the fans (which couldnt be further from the truth) is to not buy any OKC merch and remain silent during their possessions during games, please spread the word, OKC should have had to wait in line like other cities hoping to get an NBA team instead of stealing one, Take Care, J

Shawn Kemp Jr. knows all about expectations
By Rob Miech · July 24, 2008 · 9:54 PM
No. 42 for the Worldwide Renegades of Atlanta dragged that big old burden into the Silverado High auxiliary gym Thursday night at the Reebok Summer Championships.
Then he spent as much time on the bench as he did in the game.
Shawn Kemp Jr. noticed that his team pulled even with its opponent, then pulled away to win in the final minutes, with him in foul trouble on the sideline.
“That’s all right,” he said.
With a name like that, Junior might be carrying more weight on his shoulders than any other player in any of the three summer tournaments being staged in Las Vegas.
A top-100 national prospect by one recruiting service, the 6-foot-9 forward from Canton (Geo.) Cherokee High has come to terms with his name after four years in organized basketball.
“It’s a burden,” he said. “People expect me to be like him. I try to be my own person. I’m not my dad. I do what I do.”
Thursday, that meant spending a lot of time in a plastic chair in a tiny gym that was filled with collegiate coaches, parents and fans.
His father, the five-time NBA All-Star who reportedly made $64 million during his career, was not in the building.
Junior is the eldest son of Shawn Kemp, who has fathered at least eight kids with six different women.
“Out of the Reign Man’s scattered DNA,” wrote Sports Illustrated, “has grown another power forward who has played his way onto the national recruiting radar.”
Shawn Kemp Jr., the 17-year-old budding star with the size-19 feet – he’s expected to sprout to 7 feet by age 21 – has had a sporadic relationship with his biological father.
They’ve never lived under the same roof. They’ve never shot hoops together. In 2000, after an NBA game in Atlanta, Junior spoke with pop in person for the first time in four years. A half-brother and half-sister have contacted Junior via the Internet.
Senior rang two years ago, wanting to work on a relationship. Junior might work out with the old man, who’s 38, at his home in Houston when the summer circuit dies down.
He doesn’t play like his dad, Junior has heard from fans. He’s not good.
“Then I started getting better,” said Shawn Kemp Jr. “Yeah, I’ve had a lot to prove, to coaches, just everybody. But I’ve overcome it. I’ll handle it.”
Shawn Kemp Sr. was kicked out of Kentucky before he played a game for the Wildcats. A year later, he made himself available for the NBA draft.
He met Genay Doyal in 1989, in Seattle, soon after the Sonics picked him in the first round. Junior was born in 1991. Senior and Doyal never married, and Doyal moved to Atlanta with Junior when he was 5.
“He tells me to go to college,” Junior says. “He says I need to go to college and get an education, and try to go to the NBA.”
The tattoo on his right shoulder has SK and the No. 40 — his father’s number with the Sonics — inside a basketball.
Alabama, Georgia, Cincinnati and Mississippi supposedly have offered him scholarships, and Washington and Indiana might be somewhere in the mix.
He said he only knows of offers from Alabama and Auburn.
Kemp showed some smarts Thursday. He failed to bite on one foe’s drive to the hoop, instead staying low to block out his man. The driver missed. Kemp snagged the rebound.
On a pick-and-roll, he didn’t look too graceful trying to snatch the pass for an easy shot on the left side. But, to be fair, it was a lazy, low pass, and it landed out of bounds.
He played very good denial defense but his fade-away 12-foot jumper was way off. He spent the final seven minutes on the bench, cheering his teammates to victory.
“Play hard and work hard,” Kemp Jr. said he has learned from Senior, “and always do your best.”

Hi, I’m Babis from Greece, and I am a huge fan of the Reignman!
I recently read that Shawn is thinking of playing in the Italian basketball league, with Montegranaro. Is it true?
I would be thrilled to see Shawn playing again after all these years!
Also, I am looking for a pair of Reebok Kamikaze II, tha Kemp used to wear in 95′-96′. I had a pair when I was younger, and I would to find one again. Especially if it is a size 12. If anyone has them please email me @ babis200sx@yahoo.gr
Thanks.
