How many championships do the supersonics have, I may have to check the record books, but I'm betting it's zero, dunk all you want, pip and Jordan will just take it to the bank
@DRRTOUR ya go check the record books we have 1 in 1979 and lost twice in the finals- once too the bullets and the other to Chicago.... go hate on Kemp somewhere else
@TheMackdaddy007 maybe kemp wouldnt have five hundred kids and weigh 340? Perhaps playing on a title winner consistently would have changed his attitude
Kemp and Pippen got each other in the same year. Pippen blasted Kemp with a power dunk during the regular season of '96 and Kemp got his sweet revenge in the Finals.

SuperNaturalJump2012, YouTube, Over 5 foot vertical! My Head by a 12&1/2 foot ceiling! Super Magical Elevation!
Jesus Christ. This was the most epic finals (in my eyes). My hometown team VS. the defending champs, the bulls. It was amazing bc we had a chance at winning but also, Jordan was in town :)
I also gotta say it was a good game. Even as a sonics fan, I believed the bulls could not be beaten but my sonics gave a good fight. MAAAN, how I wish basketball was like this today.
@billslover90 I don't think he moved out of the way..he cowered like a lil girl afraid of the boogie man. I got respect for Pippen, but he looked like a bitch on that play..
Love the way Scottie pulled his arm back down when he realized it was too late to do anything about the dunk...as if to say "not me, I will not be a victim". But we saw it Scottie, we saw it.
The dunk looked pretty similar to many dunks done by Lebron (use of large body and speed to drive the right side and throw down off of one leg). Lebron probably grew up watching Kemp, so maybe he is the inspiration for Lebron's dunks.
As a pure talent, Pippen couldn't carry Kemp's luggage. To have a guy that's 6'10" who can move like Kemp is unreal. Only a couple of other big guys ever had that kind of athletic ability, one of them named Olajuwon.
@Sierra688 You must not know much about basketball. Scottie Pippen is a 6'8" point guard who can guard 1 though 5 effectively. Scottie has the arms of a 7'er. Kill that noise.
@upabittoolate I wouldnt say point guard, Point forward sounds right. But ya that guy saying "Pippen couldn't carry kemp's luggage" is nonsense, im a huge Sonics fan but even i know pippen is one of the all time greats, kemp was just one of the top 10 PFs of the 90's.
@hbksteve2002 5apg for his career? That's a point guard to me. Hell, MJ didn't average that many assists when Coach Collins pushed MJ out to the point. And having watched many of (if not most of) the Bulls games after Pip got drafted (by Seattle ironically) & examining their scheme, I can tell you: Scottie was the Triangle's point guard. MJ was actually the low post man. BJ, Pax & Chickenman Kerr spotted up in the corners or the elbows like traditional small forwards do.
@upabittoolate There is no doubt Pippen initiated the offence for the bull's team. Great Hybrid player, The best in my opinion. But as far as the actual "POINT GUARD" name goes, i wouldnt put that label on him. I would label him as a Small forward able to play 4 positions and a "Point Forward" for the bulls team. Kemp was strickly a 4, Think the sonic's main problem was they were too young when they played the bulls, just when they were maturing-- Kemp starting bitching about contracts.
@hbksteve2002 My friend, Scottie was a pg in hs & college. His height & reach are incidental. If you ever watched the games, you'd've seen Scottie bringing it up. I'm not saying he's Stockton. But he was that offense's catalyst. You can't deny 6apg (in his prime yrs).
As for Seattle, their problem was balance. There were too many players out of position. E. Johnson, D. Ellis, H. Hawkins, S. Perkins, K. Gill, S. Kemp... tweeners. You can't run if you don't know where to obe & lack discipline.
@hbksteve2002 And Kemp, although he always hit the boards hard, is more like a tweener. His athleticism made it easy for him to guard small forwards. In addition, Cage, McKey & Perkins were the 4s on most of those Sonics squads. That was part of the Sonics problem (aside from the fact that they'd've never beat the Bulls) too. The Sonics had too many tweeners. That made them kinda unbalanced at times.
@hbksteve2002 If you had actually read what I posted, you'd see that I prefaced my comments with the qualifier "As a pure talent." Obviously Pippen had the more successful (though generally overrated) career, but athletically, Pippen was like a child compared to Kemp. Kemp was bigger, stronger, more explosive and just more gifted overall than Scottie. No shame in that, though.
@Sierra688 Well of course Kemp was "Bigger, Stronger & more explosive" He was a POWER FORWARD. Scottie Pippen was a Forward/Guard... I dont think ur "Qualifier" as a "pure talent" is the correct terminology-- I think "Physical tools" would be more the wording you were looking for. Cause as far as "Talent" goes I would have to go in Pippen's favor. Pippen could defend most positions fairly easily & is set the benchmark for "Versatile" wing players.
2 Kemp rarely had to extended his arm when he dunked. He jumped so high with no effort at all. There hasn't been anyone in the NBA like Kemp. If Vince Carter was a power forward then maybe
The best comparison to Kemps dunks in my opinion is Dominique Wilkins which obviously predated Kemp. Dwight Howard does a little "Kempish" dunks when he throws it down into the basket without actually pulling on the rim. Although, Kemp wasn't afraid to rock to rim and backboard. Love his play!
I miss watching these old games with my family back in the day, and the classic ESPN NBA theme, watching old school pepsi commercials and what not i really want to turn back the clock
He posterized the whole Bulls' squad. The Sonice deserved game 2 in the OT.
