Shawn Kemp's 50 BEST Plays | NBA Career Highlights 

Dunks are great, but his reactions to his own highlights are next level.

Vince Carter, Dominique Wilkins, and Shawn Kemp most spectacular dunkers , in my humble opinion. I know there's more but my top 3.

Kemp’s athleticism was simply amazing!!!

Not ashamed to say this makes me teary eyed. My teenage years were from 93 to 99 so watching these old sonics clips are unbelievably nostalgic. As a native Washingtonian, this video is amazing. Thank you!

In his athletic prime, Shawn Kemp was an absolute monster.

My favorite NBA player. Period. Every dunk looked like he was practicing for the dunk contest.

One of the most underrated power forwards of all time. They show all his dunks but later on he had a nice 15ft jumper plus the baby hooks. One of the highest ceilings never reached

My man KEMP! A man who does NOT know what a weak dunk IS! ALL his dunks were simply ELECTRIFYING! Respect! 👍🏿

How can you be so smooth, yet so powerful? This man is gifted

Kids need to do their research on this guy because Kemp was that dude overall. Nasty high flying dunks was his specialty.

The dunks and blocks you always remember but I forgot how good his handle was, damn. Dude could put the ball on the floor and move. With his speed and athleticism, he is one of the few bigs from back in the day who would absolutely thrive in todays game.

That reverse dunk against the Knicks is one of the best dunks in NBA history but never seems to be talked about

11:05 Gatling was like: "Nice one young fella, got me there really good" Now thats respect

Shawn Kemp in the 90s, The supersonics in general.. Just greatness, that this generation will never understand

Late 80s and early 90s Sonics basketball was some of the greatest sports in Seattle history. You can tell the NBA fans really love the fast breaks when the arena gets loud before the dunk even happens!

That chemistry was one thing Seattle fan love. A man dunks and gives himself a goosebumps with passion. Unforgettable Seattle Sonics Rain-Man, one of the doppest passionate Basketball player.

Happy 50th Birthday Shawn Kemp! Really hope the Sonics return to Seattle one day; both you and Payton deserve to have your jerseys retired.

Nothing like the early late-early 90’s early-mid 2000’s I love those years of NBA

This generation will never understand, not only the goat MJ, but all the other greats that came from this era! Kemp was a beast I remember these days. These days (1985 through 2005) were the greatest era in nba history

Whenever i feel down in life, i watch Shawn Kemp highlights, and the day is already better

Back then, with me being a kid, 75% of the kids in my school had Kemp's jersey and the rest of 25% had Jordan's. That says it all about how spectacular this guy was! 💪🔝 ps: I'm from Europe.

The Reignman. My favorite player back then when i was a kid. Still got his Jersey.

I remember myself back in the 90's, always watching Sonics games and the almighty duo, Peyton & Kemp, oh my those wonderful memories. I so miss my Sonics TT

What an incredible athlete. Imagine being that big AND that fast AND that coordinated all at the same time.

Best Slam Dunker in game ever ! Power, finesse, elevation, celebration 😎

FOR ME HE IS THE STRONGEST, MOST ATHLETIC, THE BEST POWER FORWARD THE NBA HAD EVER PRODUCED!!!

So quick So athletic So powerful So exciting SO UNDERRATED!!! Kemp was the best at what he did, it’s just unfortunate that the Sonics couldn’t consistently make any real noise in the playoffs.

he's one of those few guys who are not HOF but known from basketball fans all over the world... his style of dunking is so unique

Man Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton were the Duo's of the 90's.

11:02 I guess Shawn Kemp is the only guy who could posterize his opponent so hard that he earned their respect

Wilkins and Kemp were the two most explosive big men in the history of the NBA. It was a privilege to grow up during this era and watch the reign man bring the thunder.

Had a solid mid range game too. Nobody like him in today's NBA. Sonics turned me into a fan back then.

Kemp was like one of the first power dunkers. It look like they just let him slide to the hole. He was just that agile, and had mobility. You couldn't stop him!

911:what’s your emergency Rim:I would like to report domestic violence

One of favorite players growing up as a kid. Him and Gary Payton were fun as bleep to watch. 👍

Shawn Kemp is the Busta Rhymes of basketball. Loud, nasty ass skill, and up in yo face. Legendary.

I'm 40 yrs old and I still remember most of this games

Kemp had some nice handles too for a PF... One of my favorite players in the 90's

That first dunk is one of the best dunks ever. The commentating, the dunk and disrespectful celebration. The cameraman seals it with the great shot and quick pan over to dudes soul leaving the earth lol.

“ Kemp all over that rebound like a bad suit” one of the best commentary calls of all time👍👌

my favorite player when i was a kid. Prime Reign Man was INSANE.

My all time fav player! He need Hall of Fame! And please back our Seatlle Sonics!

God, when the NBA was actually exciting. Miss these days, miss Shawn Kemp!

i feel that the excitement is doubled by Kevin Calabro with his super fast-paced speaking and increasing energy - amazing

Kemp my my fav back in the 90's. Loved this guy as a kid growing up.

Shawn Kemp is the best in game dunker of all time and he was one of the best power forwards of the 90's. By God for a stretch of 3 years he was unstoppable. Everybody who watched NBA in the 90s and many who didnt knew who Shawn Kemp was. He did much much more for basketball than what his numbers show. For all those reasons Shawn Kemp should be in the HOF.

Shawn Kemp 1990s NBA nostalgic awesomeness! Hate my guts and wish death on me; the NBA of the 1980s and 1990s was the best decades/era ever of my life growing up as a kid and teenager in the 1980s & 1990s! The players played with absolute passion, dedication and desire! Their personalities were authentic! They never concentrated nor based their lives on being billionaires, or music video stars, nor movie stars! There was no "unsocial media" for them to be distracted into playing/living for: "likes", "hastags", or "follows"! Thank you so much for this video upload!

Hi-Five your opponent after being dunked on! Great example of sportsmanship: we play hard, A-game, both sides want to win, but at the end it's all love. Kemp was a dangerous man.

It's time for Sonics to re enter the League and for Shawn to enter the HOF. The most athletic power forward of his time.

Most underrated player of all time!

Kemp was a damn animal.I remember watching GP dish off to the Reign man several times growing up watching old school hoops.

Blocks Jordan scores at the other end. Slams it hard on pippen, barkley and matumbo. Insanely powerful athlete. Legend

We're seeing a lot of dunks, but Kemp was a well rounded player, with lots of skills. Even when he was out of shape, he could score 15 a game in his sleep.

Man if there was one team I’d want to come back in the NBA, it be The Sonics. It would be so cool to see them in the modern NBA, especially there jerseys.

The Reign Man. Kemp was a beast back in the 90's

0:58 this one of my favorites 😂 the way he did a hesitation move before the dunk was smooth

He looks like he was trying to hurt the rim💯

Shawn Kemp, was the most exciting player in this era. The 1 and only Rain Man.... And the commentators love him, and make him, the Rain Man....

Shawn kemp was a freak of nature , one of the most athletically gifted players to touch the ball , I grew up with stoudemire and griffin who I tuned in just to see them play for the explosiveness and aggression wish I could of lived in his era because my god what a monster

The atmosphere back then was epic 🔥🔥🔥

The best dunking big man in NBA history. Love him.

Whenever Shawn Kemp is mentioned it’s not with the greats and that is a mystery. Once in a lifetime type player/ talent, one could make a strong argument he revolutionized the league, maybe he was just ahead of his time.

My high school years. What a time to be alive.

Reign Man !! Watching highlights from his days against Magic, Bird, Jordan etc. One of the most entertaining NBA players of all time. Kemp is one of the those players that would thrive in any era

My favorite powerful forward of all-time. He was the total package and he could do everything on the court.

The Reign Man. The nostalgia! I remember printing Kemp 40 at the back of many of my T-shirts using shoe polish LOL!

Shawn Kemp will always be the GOAT in dunking in a real game..

10:36 A defender like Pippen knows when it’s better to keep your hands off it. Kemp was a beast. In the best sense.

I miss those days, this dude and all the players of this era!!!! I was really into bball back in those days!!!

The old Sonics stadium was probably the toughest place to play at in the early 90s...

Went from this to doin drive-bys. Reign man be spinning the block 😂

That block on Clyde the Glide @1:13 was a defensive thing of beauty.

Kemp had one of those rare characteristics and attitude towards the game. It was never personal and never vain simply an artist painting his best on the canvas

Crazy athletic forward

Shawn Kemp such an unbelievable player and so much talent and explosive power abilities, unique in its own class … great respect for this Champion !!

I never knew he could handle like that man😳…he was a BEAST

This dude had me wearing low cut ankle socks when I hooped.. Legendary

Powerfully smooth, only way I can describe this guy

Kemp was one of my favorite players to watch during the Jordan era. Without question one of the most unique power forwards in history and who I personally think should be in the Hall of Fame.

Shawn Kemp should be in the HOF. He was the most explosive, athletic, entertaining power forward in the mid 90s. During away games he would stun the crowd with his ball handling skills and athleticism. The murmur created by 15,000 unsuspecting fans gasping simultaneously is unmistakable. At home games he and Gary Payton would electrify the crowd to a point of absolute frenzy. Kemp was the best player overall in the 1996 NBA Finals, eclipsing even Michael Jordan. Some people will say, "Yeah, great dunker, but he didn't accumulate HOF stats." I get it, but I can say with certainty that those same people obviously never actually watched Shawn Kemp when he played in Seattle. Even with a career shortened and diminished due to person problems, Kemp scored more than 15,000 points and grabbed nearly 9,000 rebounds. The guy is undeniably a basketball legend.

Kemp and the Glove two favorites of all time!!!

That Lister poster is one of the best things ever

This is a very well curated compilation! I haven’t seen a bunch of these sick plays. Sean was brilliant! He and Rasheed Wallace were amazing talents in their primes.

One of the smoothest and arguably the best in game dunkers in NBA history..rain man..simply the best.

I don't think we've seen anyone dunk with that type of animosity towards the ring - isiah thomas

Shawn Kemp dunks so hard like the rim did something to him

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. 1993-94 and 1996 were some of the BEST times of my life!

That Gatling dunk never gets old!! He showed respect !! Gotta love it!!!

All these unbelievable Highlights while still having the fundamentals that are under appreciated because he had so much skill. Oh and Avg. 20 & 10 Rain Man for Mayor of Sea Town

Power, charisma, athleticism, fearless= THE REIGN MAN #MrExcitement

Kemp was a beast on the court!!!

Shawn The Reign man Kemp is the reason why I started watching the NBA. He made it look like you were watching a Video game the way he Dunked !

1:07 he is screaming before he even dunk the ball.💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

Take a look amazing Kemp dunks with early years versus Bulls,and jam fest, game vs.Hornets and Zo Mourning! Kemp was Amazing Player!That was a Beast!

Shawn Kemp was ahead of his time. If he played now, all we would hear about on social media would be Shawn Kemp.

What fun to see this guy dunking, swaggering like no one else so far.

You could do a highlight video of 10 hours of this man, one of my favorite players of all times, he just loved to destroy the rim and block shots.

OMG, I forgot about Shawn Kemp! He was an amazing player on both ends of the court.

I still remember when the sonics drafted him.I knew absolutely nothing about him. What amazes me is the sonics organization already had their eyes on him.I grew up a big time sonics fan in the the late 70,s. As a kid i witnessed there first NBA championship,,years later we get kemp.Best draft pick ever for Seattle

Kemp should be in the hall of fame, he's better than some who are already in.
