Being able to jump that high demonstrates that its not having an impact on his game. The recent science says that not being ripped isnt necessarily a sign of needing better conditioning. If he was in Mike Sweetney territory, that would be something else. |

Maybe you're mistaking him for Vin Baker (after the 2 did a round robin?)? After 8 awesome seasons in the Seattle, he got chubby, still put up really solid numbers in Cleveland for 3 years, then fizzled out over his final 3. I think the he was a bit depressed after being duped by the Seattle team into signing a below market value "hometown discount" sort of deal. (same sort of thing happened to Pippen and Cassell). Also, being a super athlete wears on your body... (Amare Stoudemire, with a similar game, also broke down young too) “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks

He had previously signed a long-term contract before NBA salaries took a jump, so he was earning substantially less than most players of his caliber. Kemp threatened to sit out the upcoming season, and the resulting tension led to a three-team trade after the 1996-97 season. Kemp landed in Cleveland, but LeBron was only 13, so Cleveland still sucked. http://www.entertainmentbuddha.com/whatever-happened-to-shawn-kemp-the-superest-of-sonics/ It could have been a lot worse, but it's not how I thought his career was going to go, after watching the Bulls/Sonics finals. |

I am pretty sure he went broke very fast. Very sad and alarming.

They should show it at rookie camp. |
