 Shawn Kemp “The Reign Man” is back!
The buzz in the building was definitely there. Just minutes before halftime during an ordinary round robin game at Seattle’s famed Rip the Cut Tournament on Saturday, May 24th, a ghost from the city’s past walked inside those Cleveland High School doors. Former NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp was in the house y’all. [link]

    Nice to know he's straightened himself out. Didn't he have substance-abuse problems?

    So does this mean Chuck still has hope...? I mean Kemp was seriously big (circular even) just a few years back.

      Yeah I would say Chuckie has hope...not much.

    You have no idea how pumped I was to see a story about the "Reign Man" AKA "The Blocking Beak (His nose tells the story there).

    I grew up watching Shawn Kemp in his prime and was in awe by his thunderous dunks back then! There wasn't too many players in the NBA that could jam like Kemp did back in the day!

     I say bring him to the Bulls, so we can play him 5 minutes a game ;)

      Then you'll be happy to hear the profile I'm working on for Cavs News right now is none other than Shawn Kemp. Should be out in a day or two.

... all the buzz in the NBA is about the return of the league's biggest rivalry to its biggest stage.  If I had to choose right now, I'd say Celtics in 7, but I've been known to make predictions contrary to popular opinion for the sake of being contrary to popular opinion, so take it for what it's worth.  Now, onto the links: A Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals match-up isn't the only thing that new again.  With Doug Collins possibly returning to coach the Bulls and Shawn Kemp (!) trying to make a comeback, all we need is the New Kids on the Block to come ...

Because the Italian team Premiata Montegranaro has reportedly made an offer to the 40-year-old Kemp to come and play for them. Unless you speak Italian, that link is really of no use to you. But trust me and Ball Don't Lie, the Reignman has an offer to play. Kemp is apparently back in playing shape and ready to roll. And frankly, I couldn't be happier. Kemp is a ...
