Currently, Kemp is planning to return to the court by playing pro ball in Italy next year. He’s living around Seattle and working on various small business ventures, as well as staying in shape to make some kind of court comeback. His son, Shawn Kemp Jr., is an incoming freshman at the University of Washington and will play on the basketball team. At age 38, Kemp is slimmed down and in good shape. His hard partying days seem to be over. On a recent trip out to the West Coast, SLAM caught up with Kemp at the Rose Garden. Kemp was in Portland to serve as coach of the Seattle 3BA team in the league’s “pilot” game and lend his support to the new league. After the game, Kemp shared a few moments with SLAM to look back on his life and career. SLAM

Re: Kemp or possibly Baker to return to basketball overseas
I could've sworn I'd read that Kemp's son was going to play for Kentucky. Anyways, it sounds as if Kemp doesn't entirely need the money and overall sounds like his life is better today than it was as an NBA player. I wonder how Baker's doing these days.

Good for Kemp. He was nasty until the Alcihol took over.
