SLAM 14
Look at this photo. Is he grabbing a rebound? That’s how high the Reignman could jump. And the shoes! Shawn Kemp should have been on the cover regularly for the next 10 years, but he let himself go. This is his second and final SLAM cover. Meanwhile, some of the names you see from smaller features in this issue, like Keith Van Horn, Earl Boykins, and Eddie Jones, are still active in the NBA.

As soon as he boomed on Karl Malone and grabbed his nuts, he was the man. So dope in fact that reebok put that clip in a commercial. And then the dunk on Chris Gatling at the Warriors game…I was at that game, cats were goin nuts after that dunk. Its gotta be killin him that GP got that ring. Damn Shawn…

Remember when he grabbed his crotch at the World Championships in TO in 94? Instant blackballing from USA basketball.

I was a Warriors fan for many years until in the all-star game there were about 10 ex-warriors playing (all had been traded away). My friends team was the Sonics. I hated watching them play my Warriors because Kemp seemed to dunk on them more than any other team. Nasty, mean, viscous, powerful dunks! Wish you wouldn’t have lost it so soon Shawn!

The Man, Finals MVP 1996 (people, stop hatin`,he was the best but on the losing side) … and what is most important: Kemp was THE Ambassador for basketball worldwide. Middle of the 90`s, basketball becoming more popular around the world …. people like me were stayin`up all night to watch his game …. Damn Shawn, you should have ruled the league!
