Charles Barkley and Shawn Kemp in Classic Battle

Shawn Kemp outlasts Charles Barkley in this regular season thriller. Seattle dominates the 1st quarter and then gets dominated in the 2nd & 3rd quarters, only to come back in the 4th. This win clinched the Pacific Division for the Sonics in the 93/94 season.

Man, those alley-oop dunks by Shawn Kemp that looked like it's impossible to catch reminds me of Blake Griffin today. Sadly, if only someone could have advised Kemp to work on improving his game (not relying on his talent alone) and keep healthy and in game shape, he could have been one of the greatest power forwards in our league today. Hope that Blake learns a lesson or two from Kemp's career...

@MrDarkstalker15 Great points made on Shawn Kemp. Two things Kemp has on Griffin was his shooting ability and ball handling. If Griffin puts it together he could be the best PF in "todays" NBA......and as long as he doesn't remain a Clipper for his entire career...lol.

other than durant who else kemps size can run the floor like that!

@hanzaninja3 i agree, i don't think any PF could put a spin move on a shooting guard like he did on Majerle @ 4:31

@JellyBean2144 true man, i grew up in Seattle watching Payton and Kemp 6 straight 53 plus win seasons, i miss basketball in Seattle! I wish we would of got to see the exciting Durant Westbrook duo in Seattle! but ya those teams in the 70s were great for Seattle as well.

[JellyBean2144]

I like others have stated..I miss the Sonics!! Man, those were the days. The Kemp/Payton era was probably the best because of all of excitement that they brought to the game in Seattle. For me, it was the Wizard and Sikma era with DJ and all of the other Seattle greats from the late 70s on up until Kemp/Payton. Man I miss the Sonics.

@XXZeroimpact shows the quality of the NBA in those days

[marzilyas]

@hanzaninja3 hah Durant is about the same height as Kemp but hardly the same size

Shawn Kemp was way better than Blake Griffin. And Shawn Kemp DID have a great all around game that didn't rely on athletics alone by the mid 1990's. The guy had a HEAVY alcohol problem, it got exposed in 1997, he admitted it first, but then denied it...the Sonics had many inner team meetings. The news trickled out that Shawn was into cocaine as well as alcohol. He gave up in the playoff series against the Rockets in '97. He became a poison. Had one good season in Cleveland. Got fat. So sad.

It sucks that both Charles Barkley and Shawn Kemp never won a nba title :(
