The Fabulous Shawn Kemp

Overall it's an interesting read about this, that, and the state of the sports media in Cleveland, but I always get a kick out of reading Shawn Kemp stories.

What's one G-rated or PG-rated story about an athlete that you've heard but haven't had an opportunity to share?

Shawn Kemp was late for a flight back in his Cleveland days, as he often was. He was beginning to run out of excuses. The one he gave the Cavs this time was, "My dog fell asleep in front of my car and I had to wait until he woke up."

No shit.

Poor Randy Wittman was the coach and he just took it. That's when we knew Randy was in big trouble. He was a rookie coach and Kemp worked him over. It actually said a lot about a bunch of things that were going on with the team at the time. Kemp was losing control of his life and Randy was overwhelmed. The best thing Jim Paxson did was find a way to hoist Kemp on Portland.

anyone else have any good Shawn Kemp stories?

Hey, sometimes the gangsta just comes out. Y'all need to relax!

I'm more concerned that there is a @shawnkempjrjrjr on here. I could have another brother or sister I've never met before. I mean, there are already like 46 of us.
