Shawn Kemp to play in Italy? 

Post#1 » by Proballer » Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:33 pm

This former NBA superstar would be on the verge to sign a contract with an Italian team. It'd be mind-blowing!

Fishy, he's not even the first former superstar; Bob McAdoo, Dominique Wilkins and Magic Johnson all played in Europe for at least a season. Pippen, too, IIRC.

I hope for Kemp's sake that this is a legit rumor and he gets some play in; he's still good enough to contribute and has been in solid shape for several years now.

Kemp didn't look bad in that video. He looks better now than he did when he was on the Magic.
