Or maybe Kemp was just a once in a lifetime type of athletic talent. christ some of these dunks are sickening

He was absolutely electric. Those Sonics teams were great. Wish they had less of a douchebag coach.

Kemp
Payton
Hawkins
Schrempf
Perkins
Pierce
McMillan

George Karl is lucky someone hasn't punched him in his face. That crap he said about Carmelo should have basically had him blacklisted from the sport (which i think has happened?).

Big Sam Perkins!!! A man ahead of his time.

Didn't they also have Kendall Gill?

They did briefly. I always think of him as a Hornet. Gill was a fun player too.

Kendall played in New Jersey for a few years, he played with Marbury. He was always a solid pro

Embiid hasn't played since Jan 4, will he play tomorrow?

Maxey out tonight with hand injury, he'll be back I assume

Kemp and Nique were sick dunkers
I just took a trip down memory lane to watch a few of the Old School Dunk Monsters
Of course Dr. J and MJ were amazing dunkers too, but these were the guys we expected power dunks from

He’s a center. What’s wrong with grabbing rebounds and having a strong game in the paint? What am I missing here?

I don't think if there was ever a team so unlikeable as the 2025 Sixers. And they ain't even winning ffs

everybodys favorite player IQ with the crazy splits this season.
37.8 / 31.0 / 32.5
(FG% / Games missed / salary)
hilarious that it isn't even mentioned what a big bullet we might have dodged here.

The Suns didn't feel great about their chances at landing superstar Jericho Sims, so they acquired a consolation prize in Nick Richards

56FG%, 1.2bpg in 21mpg this season I feel like we missed :banghead:

We got a streaky chucker in Payne for a fraction of the cost

He's clearly not even trying. Like he's just jogging casually, not setting screens or getting open. He is just "out there".
