a damn shame. for the life of me i cannot understand why the NBA doesn't have its own HOF...shawn kemp is definitely HOF material. 💯

We cannot forget that he had a good touch when we talk about shooting

Could you imagine Kemp, Mourning, and Garnet on the same team in their primes? That would be the scariest team ever.

Hell yeah! Shwan Kemp was a beast. He was a really great player with tons of talent!

Reign Man was one of the most viscous in game dunkers of all time. Loved watching that man play!

Kemp not being in the HOF is a joke. Aside from being a beast in game he also always brought it in the dunk contests. He was awesome!

I grew up through the 90s loving basketball 🏀 that's why every time you pop up a video I watch every one of them. NBA has lost it's soul. 80's-90's was an awesome time to be a 🏀 fan

Hell Yesss!

Shawn Kemp definitely deserved to be in the HOF. The 90's Supersonics were my favorite team, and he has a major part of that.

Those were the days, can't believe Kemp isn't in Hall of Fame.

6´10 runs like a guard, handles the ball and jumps out the gym. We didnt use to make emphasis on this things back them cause we were used to them, in todays game he will be a HoF no question, just give the guy its deserved honor.

Great video Sean. It literally breaks my heart Shawn Kemp is not in the NBA HOF. The Reighn Man's basketball attitude was everything right about the 90's NBA.

Shawn Kemp isnt in the Hall of Fame? what the hell is going on?

He should be in the HoF. Criminal that he's not.

Wow, he absolutely should be in the HOF. I assumed he was. Another guy who would have won an title but for Jordan.

Kemp was the dude that always made me go outside and play. Even if I was 1-=15 yr shorty, just watched that rim and played, urging some day to be able to try what Shawn kemp did the best of all time. He had that childish fun and intensity that is always great to watch and remember.

The best in-game dunker period. Poetry in motion. T-Mac would be next.

If T Mac and Grant Hill are HOF’ers, then Shawn Kemp deserves it.

6'10" Vince. Yeah... Thats a good way to describe Kemp

"Best Tomahawk in NBA history" That "something special" was speed and enthusiasm here in Seattle!

Shawn Kemp is absolutely HOF worthy.

He got out of shape toward the end of his career so people forgot how much of a BEAST he was in his prime. He was really the top dog on the Sonics and made them contenders.

It sounds like GP didn’t always see Kemp on some of those lobs. He just knew he was running somewhere in the building 😮

The no-look pass at 3:07 and back to him DANG! That woulda made the audience jump out of their seats!

I love basketball because of Kemp and Payton.

I watched him at the Garden against the Knicks (we called them The Bricks back then) in his rookie year when he drove down the lane and reverse slammed sideways with a defender on him. His cupping slam on Alton Lister gets the most attention but that one at MSG is probably the most spectacular in-game dunk in the history of basketball given the degree of difficulty. I'm continuously amazed it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

My best "In Game" dunker....and he was able to handle, shoot, and block sh** up

As european, I had a freedom to choose my favourite team. Sonics it was, because of Detlef. Back then only handful of Europeans really performed in NBA. But oh boy, how I struck gold. Payton-Kemp. Lob City before imposters.

Yesssssssirrrr! I loved the Rain Man! The INTENSITY AND EMOTION he played with! I was Lowkey cheering for him even as a DIE HARD Bulls/Jordan fan during the Finals 😂. Wanted to see him score 30 but Bulls win. He is TRULY UNDERRATED and a GREAT player! Thank You!

Gary Payton is my favorite player and Shawn Kemp is a big part of why the only duo to do it better was Malone Stockton scottie mike and magic Kareem they my 4th best all time duo he was a beast underrated playmaker and ball handler and he had a bit of a mid range game as well they didn’t even let him play the way that he was fully capable of because of the way they played back then he would be like a more skilled Julius Randle with zions hops and taller than them both too he would dominate todays soft league no doubt in my mind

Kemp.shouldve been on the HOF years ago

Right on Sean, Shawn Kemp FOREVER, The Reignman, he's my man hands down !!!

I wasn't a Michael Jordan fan in the,90's. I was a Shawn Kemp fan. Still favorite player.

I agree wholeheartedly! He was the rain Man as well as the true kamikaze! The way he would sacrifice himself on that court was unbelievable! They should put him in the Hall of Fame! Thank you for the content!

The Rainman needs to be in the HOF! 💪💪💪

He belongs there! Period!

Seattle didn’t treat him right.

Hands down my favorite hooper of all time. Got a chance to meet him and he was a reg dude. His induction is overdue!!!

Shawn was probably the best power forward in the league for at least 2 seasons in the 90s

Damn near everyone from the 90's needs to be in the NBA HOF; especially Shawn Kemp.

Before starting to watch your video, I was like it's flat-out crazy and utterly absurd that Shawn Kemp ain't in the Hall Of Fame yet! He was one of my favorite players when I was a teen in the 90s! Plus, somewhere in the year 2000 I asked him a question on his Official Website, who was the toughest opponent to guard, and he told me Shaquille O'Neal because he was too big and too strong and that was a very pleasant surprise! Since he probably receives thousands of messages daily, what are the odds of answering my question? But t was very happy when he answered my question! Plus a few days ago I had this dream where I was really awesome friends with Shawn Kemp! I hope my dream comes true! I'd love to be friends with anyone in the NBA, especially with a former or current player. And much love and respect to The Reighman! Hey, Shawn, if you're reading this, thanks for answering my question! You're awesome! One of my favorite players, and you gotta be in the HOF bro! You deserve to be there!

There are some players that make you fall in love with the game when you watch them play, kemp is one of those players ❤🏀 #40

When power forwards come up I always say I would take prime Kemp over anyone else at the position and everyone treats it like a hot take.

All throughout the 90s I was a huge the Michael Jordan Bulls fan!! The 90s though what's full of great individual talent play Charles Barkley Patrick Ewing Hakeem olajuwon Shaquille O'Neal Alonzo mourning David Robinson and so on and so on I could probably name another 50 more great players of the 90s one more that was almost as great was Drexler from the Portland trail blazers. One that really stood out was Shawn Kemp and his ability at his size to do what he did was just incredible Shawn Kemp should have been placed in the NBA and basketball Hall of Fame a long time ago shout out to Shawn Kemp and his family and he should definitely be in the Hall of Fame my vote is for him

Reign Man! Such an appropriate nickname.

Great player with fantastic dunk packages.

The era when u dunked on someone it ment something because they played real...D! Back..then..kemp used to hammer dunk on em!

8:03 I didn't know that Alonzo Mourning, Shawn Kemp, Allan Houston, and Robert Horry were in the same recruiting cycle coming out of high school.

Shawn Kemp was basically his NBA Jam counterpart, but in real life.

Thank you BTM you are truly the MVP of keeping the Reignman name ringing. HOF #40 Sonics lesgo

Thank you for having those old Concord Clips!!!... Went to High School with Shawn and his sister Lisa, so I was probably in one of those (blurry old school vhs) shots! 😆

Not a friendly sight when he's coming right at you on a break. All force and energy. Just get out the way. Kemp, HOF.

The King of Alley-Oops and Posters

I think the biggest issue that is hindering him getting into the HOF is how he flamed out so hard after leaving Cleveland. Those 3 seasons at the end of his career really did a number on his stats and, IMO, his legacy.

Kemp was insane ! Everybody was a Jordan Fan, but everybody loved Kemp as well. You should make a vid on the match ups Jordan had to face and overcome, There were plenty of really strong teams contending. I don't see this density today !! Sorry

when you're talking about vince, mj and others it's hard to say who's the best. but for me, shawn is my favorite dunker of all time.

Kemp not being in the HoF is beyond belief but you better believe Bronny is already in there and he g league material. LeCommissioner has struck again!

Needs to be in the HOF and Seattle needs a team again.

Shawn kemp dunked hard like dominique wilkins or darrell dawkins with great hang time.

Kemp and Payton were the truth... And nothing but the truth... So help me God!! Kemp was a monster, and should have been a whole lot more folks!

there are guys that are uber talented like Blake. then there are guys like Vinsanity and Rain Man that can do everything and it looks like they aren't even trying. it feels unfair that one human being can be that gifted. you have to just sit back and enjoy the show because they are generational talents.

Yeah the body control and balance on or off the ground, The dunks and posterizing swinging off the rims! Rain Man and glove! Amiri & Nash, C Web Bibby, J Kidd Sheed, J Rose. Ahmad Rashad on inside stuff! Those were my guys and all on the Pacific coast rivalries..., A great era of an evolution of Showtime Lakers...... No disrespect for Stockton Malone, That was a great era for NBA!. Kemp and VC some of the best in game dunkers! Love the channel. Keep it up.

Great video time for some ABA players

The Sonics team that went to the finals in 96 was special. They took the Bulls to 6 games and played the game with aggression and attitude. Payton is known for being one of the biggest trash talkers to ever do it. But, Kemp let his actions do the talking. Every time the Sonics had the ball in transition, with the ball in Payton's hands and Kemp galloping down the court or Kemp snatched a rebound and went coast-to-coast, there was a sense of expectation that something special was about to happen. As far as the "Lob City" Clippers go... there's no comparison. I'm not saying Paul, Griffin and Deandre Jordan weren't great to watch... but, THERE'S NO COMPARISON when it comes to Payton and Kemp. At his peak, Kemp was feared. At any given moment, Kemp could put someone on a poster/highlight real... forever! Just ask Gatling, Laimbeer and especially Lister. Dunks, put backs, blocks, handles and a very decent shot from 18ft... Kemp 100% deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

There are a lot of good dunkers in the league today, I agree. But, like you said there is a difference between Kemp and the rest. There is a difference between dunk contest dunkers and in game highlight reel dunkers...and if you know then you know.

Kemp dunked with power and velocity. He could dunk off 1 or 2 feet, and the way he ran full court. He couldn't palm the ball, but he made those dunks look special everytime with 1 or 2 hands. He play well with Minnesota, the Spurs, OKC and several other teams

He was definitely show time

Need a Glen Rice one or more Clyde Drexler liked that guy

I was amazed as everyone else on the play of Shawn Kemp, he definitely was a handful. However, were talking about the HOF and I have to say his body of work comes up short. His elite level of play was short lived which had everybody during that time asking what happened. He may not be in the Hall, but for those years in Seattle he put on a show.

Besides Willis Reed, Kemp was the real thing.

While an argument could be made for Kemp’s place in the HOF, one has to look at his career #’s (as far as prime years go). I believe one big reason he’s not in is that after the 98 lockout his career went down the tubes.

absolute beast

I'm guessing your top 3 all-time greatest dunkers would have to be 1. Air Jordan 2. Human Highlight Film 3. Reign Man 👍

He had those young legs, gave Payton an alley he could oop to. I saw him live in Sacramento, got up there. I liked them, Sonics v Kings were fun games to watch, he was quick and fast, to go with the crazy ups. Zion is fat guy can slim down. Kemp got heavy after he got hurt, changed his game. Kid could play. 8:50, Yeah baby Matt Barnes' alma mater Del Campo is right down the street from my house.

How he is not in HOF is beyond me. He had his own shoes in the 90s. You don’t get those endorsements for nothing. It’s because you have a following. You have a following because you are really good. And when you are really good you get in the HOF. So what gives NBA????

Here’s thing .. Gary “ The Glove Payton knew once he threw that thing up it was going to be MONEY !!! Also Nike should come out with a Retro Reign Man Tennis shoe ..this cat was Zion Willaims before Zion and Blake Griffin before Blake..

HOF quit playing, put the Reignman in already. The cultural impact that dude had is unquantifiable. The '96 Finals felt star studded & he was the best player on the court that series & one of the young faces of the league alongside Shaq, Penny & Grant Hill.

What made these guys magical..because they invented the shiz they do td..and young guys lose sight of that

His best season was 20, 9, and 2. those aren't Hall stats for someone who never won a chip.

What happened to nba got game tv?

if u jumped with Kemp...u were bad end on the newest poster...if u didnt jump...you looked smart...but still posterized

Tho he was hating still respect

Shawn Kemp sold a lot of tickets.How many did JJ Riddick sell.Who you gonna pay to see.

Not a HOF..all he was ..was the first coming of Blake griffin 😂😂😂😂😂

Just being honest his legal trouble isn't helping his HOF case.

We are scared of showing mike

Kemp destroyed Rodman in the finals. He couldn't defend him.

Shawn Kemp would destroy LBJ! 😄

Kemp was never a face of a league. He was a face of a franchise, but not of the league.

They played with his money; Kemp then played himself.

Too short prime. Ate himself out of the league prematurely. Even in his prime, he was never the top player at his position. Great dunker, that's all.

I always felt Kemp had a very limited offensive game and couldn't guard an out-house. NICE -face-up jumper and dunker-that's it.

Don't know, he got a couple of good yrs in Sonics and when he went to Cavs in 97 he's gone. He went to Portland in 2000 he looked like Zion over weight and not interested in playing.

Total bs Shawn not in the hof
