    It will be interesting to see how he plays if he gets signed. Would that also mean that they are really planning to trade K-Mart because with the roster of Evans, Camby, Martin, Kemp, Elson, Nene, Kleiza their won't be enough minutes to go around for the big men.

    there's no way that I'd pick up Kemp at this point in his career.

    Does anyone have a picture of Kemp since he lost these 70 pounds? I'm really curious to see what he looks like right now.

    Kemp was like Kg Mixed with Vince in his prime. But I dont see him playing in the league again. had great games against the bulls in the 96 finals too bad no one else showed up in game 6.

    He's my favorite player of all time, next to Rodman and Barkley, but I can't see him in a Denver uni. That would look so weird. On the other hand, if he indeed lost 70 pounds, my guess is that he has a bit of his explosiveness back. That would be a hell of a sight, to have him dunk on for example Shaq... hum. I hope he comes back, I can't wait to hear another "The Reeeeeeeeeeeeignman has struck."

    He looks really old, and still looks like he is taking some type of drug.

    Yeah Kemp was one of my fav players too in the 90s, I rooted for the Sonics to beat the Bulls in the Finals, the Sonics were just awesome: Kemp and Payton, loved em. Haha, Reignman. It would be so cool to have Kemp back in the NBA, I hope he has a good comeback.

    Yeah you guys are right he threw away such a promising career, but I think he looks pretty good in that picture. He looks ready to dominate the NBA, not dominate, but I think he's ready for the NBA again. Yay Shawn Kemp!

    Kemp has always looked like that. He's always making that funny face.

    If he can come in and give a solid 10-15 mins a game...I'd take him. But not with the Nuggets. You guys have a lot of big men just stacked up. Martin, Camby, Elson, Wedgie, Nene...I'm not sure what the FA status is. Not sure you guys will re-sign Evans so maybe Kemp can take that spot. Is Nene expected to come back from his injury?

    If you werent from chicago you hated the bulls. Me I grew up with the Bulls. Kemp had a great series that year and some nasty dunks on dennis and longley. The bulls guards were just too big for seattle. hawkins and payton were too small to handle jordan and harper. Plus Perkins was a no-show and missed alot key shots (3's) and freethrows during the series.

    Kemp was one of my favorites i love the flip it from behind your back reverse dunk with the point in mid air....... classic! vince used that same point during his dunk competition.

    Well I'm from Chicago and I wanted the Sonics to win soo bad, I even bet against my dad that they would beat the Bulls. Oh i remember just watching the finals and my grampa saying the sonics suck...the Bulls already had a championship and I wanted Payton and Kemp to get a ring; I also wanted Reggie to beat the bulls and win a championship...oh reggie so many clutch shots...

    I love the Bulls thru thick n thin, a championship run is nearing...

    70lbs is a lot of weight to loose, its alot of weight to gain in the first place too.
