Shawn Kemp & Pearl Jam
40 days left until the 2010-11 NBA season tips off.
Brought to you by Shawn Kemp and his high flying circus act. Now you know I can’t post about The Reign Man and not include a highlight reel of his dunks:
Hey, Chris Gatling, how are you gonna high five a dude after he just did that to you? (1:15 mark)
The top ten plays from Dream Team II with Borat on the call. The “Shaquille O’Neal Coast to Coast” definitely deserves the #1 spot.

Late congrats to Team USA for beating Turkey to earn their first gold medal…since THESE guys. Behold Shaq and Shawn Kemp in their prime.
EDIT: Peep Thunder Dan with the epic 30 ft. three-pointer! I’m sure a young Jason Williams was watching and taking notes…

I can’t force you to watch this … but you really should watch this.

Worst All-Star jerseys ever? Also, best Shawn Kemp dunk ever?
NBA Kicks Hall of Fame
Shoe: Reebok Kamikaze II
Player: Shawn Kemp
Year(s): 1995-1996
In the 1995-1996 season, the Seattle SuperSonics changed their get-up from the green/gold Helvetica uni’s to the forest green and brick Space Needle threads. With the new look, and new kicks, Shawn Kemp (along with Detlef Schrempf, Hersey Hawkins, Sam Perkins, and Gary Payton) led the Sonics to their first NBA Finals since 1979. MJ and the Bulls would become the victors (obvs) but Shawn Kemp and his Kamikaze’s definitely had something to say.
Ironically though, Shawn’s best season numbers-wise was two years later when he was overweight battling alcohol and coke addiction with the Cavs. Guess it’s not the shoes then huh?
