Favorite player? 

Post#1 » by dabbaby17 » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:36 am

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I absolutely loved Kemp. He was the man. Image

Some of my other favorites were Hersey Hawkins, Luke Ridnour, and Rashard Lewis.

My favorite was Kemp. But Detlef, GP, & "Big Smooth" were also favorites of mine during that time. I also loved Ray Allen.

Kemp and Penny Hardaway were the only jerseys I ever owned.

Of course I liked the 90's teams and guys like Det, Reignman, Glove etc.

But the guy I enjoyed most was this one.

Seattle was the only stop where he was able to show his allround skills completely and he was pretty good doing his thing with the Sonics.

Schemes was my favorite but there were a bunch of good players that gave serious effort.

I'm a little surprised that Downtown hasn't been mentioned.

Growing up as a youngster before the Sonics were stolen from us I always looked up to Ray Allen on the Sonics. He grew into my favorite player of all time because my Dad would always call me into the room whenever he was in. Man I miss those days.

I should say Freddie Brown since I chose my forum name after him but I really loved watching Gus Williams when I was a young kid.

But of course I always liked Gary Payton, who was like the Connor McGregor of his day. Like the old saying, "it's not bragging if you can back it up".

Everyone loved Kemp. He was a very popular player. I'm going to go with Detlef Schrempf and Ray Allen. Then The Glove.
