Quote:
Kemp's house is a five-minute drive from the park, tucked into a swanky neighborhood called Lakeside Parkway. There's a pool with a Jacuzzi and a waterfall in the backyard, four cars — the Dodge, a Hummer H2 with spinning rims, an Escalade EXT 300 and a Chrysler REMI — in the driveway, a bright red Vespa scooter in the garage and a pit bull puppy running around the house.

It's clear that, at 35, Kemp never has to work again. So why is he heading toward his "sweatbox" and closing the garage door?

"I'm going to play again,'' Kemp says, speaking in depth publicly for the first time since he retired two years ago after a 14-year NBA career.


SHAWN KEMP'S TAKE:

| On former teammates |

"I was blessed to play alongside a lot of good guys in my career in Seattle. If I had to pick one player outside of Gary Payton to ever play with again, it would be Detlef Schrempf. I always looked up to Detlef, and I took a lot from him."

| On NBA and NFL executive Bob Whitsitt |

"Bob Whitsitt is my guy, man. I love him to death. They can say what they want about Bob, but there's one thing for sure, he knows talent. And he's going to get talent. It's up to the players to figure out how good they want to be."

| On the current state of the NBA |

"To be honest with you, the game they're playing out there right now, until they get toward the playoffs, it's really not that exciting."

Ah yes Detlef... Reminds me of the glory days of Seattle and Portland... Cool He used to be one of my favorite players.

Hope Kemp makes it... I still remember about 7 years ago when I won 2nd prize in one of the 1st large internet contests, which gave away "Shawn Kemp's Hummer". It was a dark green H1 wagon, I believe a '96 model, tricked out with everything before it was mainstream to do so. Razz
