<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">HOUSTON ? Shawn Kemp is standing next to his car, a Dodge Magnum RT with Oregon plates and 24-inch chrome rims and windows tinted black. He's strapping 25-pound weights on each ankle. Dressed head-to-toe in swooshes ? Jordan socks, Nike Shox and red and white shorts ? he shoves two American flags into the ground at George Bush Park. His hill awaits. But why the flags? "This is the American dream,'' Kemp says. The hill stretches about a quarter mile in each direction, its summit equidistant between two green gates. The sun beams from the diamonds in each earlobe. Kemp takes a slug of water. It's time to head back toward the top.</div> Seattle Times. Super piece from Greg Bishop. Obviously it sounds far-fetched and the article is very long, but I would encourage every Sonics fan to read it. We had some good times.
Nice read. I don't what to think, I wish him the best but I'm not holding my breath. Some of the things he says sounds a lot like what guys say right before a big fall (not hoping, just observing). If he does make a comeback and really is 90% of the player he was in '96, we could use him here

I just read the paper - they have a bunch of pics of Shawn running and working out (even some extreme closeups). I have to say - he looks REALLY good.
