Shawn Kemp

You've got some great memories there, and I really appreciate you sharing them with us.

Now, you popularized Sean Kemp's Rain Man nickname, I believe, after you saw a Space Needle poster with him on it.

Right.

And then you used iconic calls like Good Golly Miss Molly, Between the Wickets, all the great collaborisms.

Vamos a-

Y ayer decía Adam Silver, de la NBA, que la franquicia en México es un tema abierto, porque le decían de Seattle, que tiene una tradición tremenda con aquellos Sonics de Shawn Kemp, de Payton.

Le decían de Las Vegas, que Las Vegas ya recibió todos los deportes, falta basquetbol.

Y él decía: «Pues México también puede ser».

And I am a jaded former Seattle Supersonics ticket owner, season ticket owner.

Used to, took the, took the, my kid's, to so many games with Gary Payton and Sean Kemp.

And you could not have a more explosive combination than open court Gary Payton to Sean Kemp.

You didn't know what was going to happen because Sean Kemp could cover half court in a step and a half.

And then he's 10 feet up in the air with his head.

doing some just absolute incredible dunk.

Cut it out.

You forgot who the sixth man of the year was?

Man, I don't give no fuck about none of that.

[laughs]

The dude that was 7' left-handed-

... behind the back.

The only-

And, um, he was in Vancouver Shooting his, uh, Fox show, and so he stayed down.

And then we got Shawn Kemp come on and some Seahawks.

And then we got the fish, the market, uh, fish guys, right? We hit 'em up and we're like, "How much to come throw fish into the [laughs] fucking crowd?" And they were like, "We're fucking fans, man.

Like, we'll do it for this amount if you just wanna buy the fish." So it was like-

I need a SuperSonics jersey just, just for the, the heck of it.

I'll, I'll just go get my Shawn Kemp-

The nostalgia

... yeah, I'll just go get the Shawn Kemp jersey and be good.

No, again, you know, it was just great.

We got, we got in that series and of course, uh, Seattle had the best record in the league, coached by George Karl, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, uh, and, um, they ...

We lost the first two games in, in Seattle by double digits.

And in the third game, Shawn Kemp has two free throws at the end of the game, uh, to put it away, and misses both of them.

And we miss-- We win the two games [laughs] here in Denver and then go back to game five in Seattle.

And of course, you know, our guys didn't know what they were doing.

I, I think we had three 24-second shot clock violations.

Neither team could score.

Yeah, yeah.

Shawn Kemp back in the day.

Another one.

Like, just, just random.
