"Kemp's got it on the break...Sets up...goes airborne, and smashes it home with a right hand tomahawk!"

Gotta love Kevin Calabro's commentary!

@Mr4thletter true last players like that now all have rings and are about to retire. eg garnet,kidd,allen,peirce,dirk,­marion,kobe,

but i think alot of it has to do with the rules mean the top next genaration players proberly have as ,mutch desire, eg rose,wade,durant and co,howard, and so on the problem iis refs rules in this genaration alow alot less contact an tuffness if u even think aboult contesting the reffs disition ur out of the game they were aloud to be more argessve back then.

One word..............."BEAST" Wish NBA players had the hunger and skill they had in the 90's

"And we were all on the bench like,...'damn, did you see dat?' "

I disagree with people saying Jordan and the Bulls robbed great players from winning. Stockon/Molone with to the finalls TWICE, Payton/Kemp ONCE, Barkley ONCE, Clyde (with Portland) ONCE, etc. If they were so great why didnt the get there more? Im not saying they sucked, im saying its not like Brkley went to the finalls 3 times and lost to the Bulls every time.

Know what I mean.

need to get basketball back to Seattle!

@art9schw Yeah, the Jordan era was cruel to many great GREAT basketball players and teams. Akeem and his rockets got lucky during Jordan's first retirement! But Charles Barkley, John Stockton/Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, soooo many players as well as teams got robbed of rings. Most of the teams the Bulls beat would CRUSH all of the teams playing today!!

[art9schw]

Maybe because he didn't put pressure on himself is why his career ended the way it did. Kemp put himself first. Mad about his contract he demanded a trade from a winning, talented Seattle team. Even if they didn't win a championship (the Jordan era was cruel) they would have been in contention to win one for many years.
