Shawn Kemp opens up about how 96 finals caused his drug problems

[Crystallas]

Truly solid interview from the Reign man. I'm not sure he's sober, but it at least looks like he quit hard drugs.

Talks about trying to get paid, and being told to outsmart Jordan. So he felt like he came pretty damn close, and the Sonics blew him off, which set off his depression and drug abuse.
I've heard this theory before, but never from his mouth. Pretty serious mindfuck.

Similar explosiveness. Not even close to the same type of player. But, I was a Kemp fan boy and the Sonics.

What is the major differences then?

Kemp played a lot more games.

He also took over games a lot more often.
