Zion is a 90s player reincarnated. Exactly what the league needs.

People keep saying Kemp, Shawn Kemp was NEVER a dominant player, never even close to one.

:dwillhuh: what version of kemp were you watching

Kemp circa 93-96 was a dominant player. even his first year in cleveland. After that lockout he ate himself out the league. Those seattle teams were offensively balanced so he wasn't going to get 30+ a night.

He averaged 20ppg one time in his career. I was old enough to know Kemp was good, but Amare was also a much better player. Y'all are nostalgic with Kemp, he was never top 10 in the league or top 5 at his position. Kemp was a good player at best, no where close to a great player :yeshrug:.

Amare played in a 7 SOL (Second or Less) offense with Dantoni and nash as his PG. This isn't comparable to Kemp playing in a slower paced era where they didn't have the number of possessions per game phoenix had. Go watch the 96 finals. Kemp was dominant against dennis (i'm a bulls fan) but kemp was eating his lunch all series

Scottie Pippen described Shawn Kemp in 96 as a LOAD.

And he was. He didn't sustain his dominance, but for 3-4 seasons he was definitely a key player in the league

He didn't average even 20 as a 2nd option :mjlol:

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW A BALANCED OFFENSE WORKS?

IF HE PLAYED IN 2DAYS ERA
WHERE TEAMS DONT EVEN
RUN OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS
AND THE BEST PLAYERS
DOMINATE THE TOUCHES
HIS NUMBERS WOULD INCREASE.

PRIME TIM DUNCAN
WAS ROUTINELY AVERAGING 20-23 PTS
AS THE 1ST OPTION.

STOP COMPARING THESE INFLATED NUMBERS
TO AN ERA WHERE TEAMS RAN SYSTEMS.

I'm not comparing anything, today has nothing to do with back then. Kemp could finish and was an ok face up big, never a great face up scorer, just good.

Y'all nikkas are clearly blowed smh

Yeah dudes trying to compare Shawn Kemp playing in defensive minded George Karl's offense vs Amare playing in MDA run & gun offense where there was no such thing as a bad shot.

It's inherently laughable and silly comparison if you're old enough to remember both

We gotta stop this man..... you can be cool with people and want to destroy them on the court.

Look if NBA wasn’t scared and allowed cats to pull up and fight like hockey and no one gets suspended.... I’d be all for the all out war shyt. But this ain’t that type of league and y’all don’t wanna see y’all fav players get hurt and tooken out 2-8 weeks for hard fouls or suspensions.

So let these niccas do what they do :francis:


I don't really want a league where you give rosters spots to goons whose only role is to rough up opposing players. The league's fine as it is now.

Love how Zion just listened to Bron after the game, not star struck, didn't say shyt, dapped him up and left to the locker room.

All I felt from Zion after that short convo with bron was
