Greatest Reign Man memories -

The alley oop from Payton where he’s going so fast that his momementum takes his body all the way around the basket as he’s still hanging onto the rim.

The dunk on Rodman in the finals.

The promo they used to run at Key Arena to get the fans pumped up where he’d end in that deep baritone- “Sonics baby, yeah. yeah! yeah!”

That alley oop he had in Dallas way back is my fav. He would be so popular now if he was in this generation.

Horry Aint no slouch when it comes to airtime but he got to respect Kemp and leave the tarmac to himself. Btw, those Seattle-Houston regular season and playoff games were a treat to watch. I miss those. Fierce is a word to describe it.

NTstateOFmind says:

its a shame that the league today (bc its soft as hell) wouldve called a taunting on his reaction after the cram
…will the league ever go back to how it used to be???

Ducky says:

i agree with #16, the league is soft as ice cream, due to to flops and hurt feelings. As a Rockets fan, it pains me to watch this piece of footage.

Lee says:

Horry would have been able to flop and draw a foul in todays league.

jksonics says:

Kemp made me a NBA fan, made me a Sonics fan, collected his cards as a kid – when we talk of Kemp we should talk only about his Seattle career and wipe the rest from the record, kinda like Jordan’s Washington career…

Best Kemp video out there –

That is the most effortless looking posterization I have ever seen in my entire life. If I had seen that on a poster, I would have thought that Shawn atleast winded up before he took off. Thanks for reminding me that rainman was downright nasty, Dime. I almost forgot.

There was one where he got Horry and looked like “Damn, I just sh*tted on you.”

My fav Reignman memories…his rookie year, when he and Dana Barros hooked up for a vicious reverse slam against NY…m

Maybe second is during his soph year in Milwaukee when he got the rock deep in the paint against a coupla slo white dudes, then turned, jumped over ‘em and slammed it in they grills…dudes was so surprised it was funny as hell…

Damn I miss that dude. Reignman was da truth.

Kemps and Payton had the best oops ever,
Payton would throw em clear from the other side of the court, it was nasty how Kemp would just go get em!

DJ Leon Smith says:

What k to the mart said, and also the reverse dunk against the Knicks over Kenny Walker.

Ekstor says:

More impressive than that dunk was Derrick McKey stuffing Dream from the weak-side at the start of that video.
