I was actually at this game in NJ at the Meadowlands. Really like watching the Sonics in the early, mid 90's and were my favorite team throughout the decade despite living in NJ. This was the 1st time I saw the Sonics live and Kemp proves why he was an All Star this game. Too bad the Sonics couldn't put NJ away and let this close one slip away
Derrick Coleman, Drazen Petrovic and Kenny Anderson trio would've been contenders in the east in the 90s if Drazen didnt tragically pass away.. RIP Legend, also Coleman could've been the goat PF, dude could do everything
@@aurora-cj6ui Shawn wasn't a talented as Derrick man. If you think that then you don't know shit about basketball. He didn't have half of Derrick's skill set
@@toppdogg2815 your parallel universe is very interesting, I suppose. But in my reality DC was a big and heavy guy from the get go. A downsized Shaq if you will. I.e. the size and weight were the main reasons they were both considered to be "talented".
@@aurora-cj6ui heavy guy from the get go? Yeah you don't know what the fuck you talking about,. He was 230 when he came in the league man. Don't say nothing else about basketball
Absolutely great mid 90’s hoops. Seattle at this time is one of the most popular teams and for good reason, crazy depth they had. Drazen Petrovic (RIP) is notably absent and would have made this matchup even more fun than it was. The dynamic point matchup of GP and Lefrak, Queens’ own Kenny Anderson was a major highlight. DC v Kemp, helluva matchup as well! DC with Kenny (plus Petro) as Jersey’s big three was an upcoming and promising trio! Jersey still gave up on the remaining core too soon. Good W for Chuck Daly’s (RIP) Nets.
This makes me sad that Kenny Anderson and DC, and the NJ Nets could have dominated the East like the Sonics had they stayed together and worked on their game more.
@@kin-greenNJ definitely gave up on them too soon and losing Petro the summer prior didn’t help at all. He’s the notable x-factor missing from this here matchup.
