Sonics Forever Live - Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton 

Shawn Kemp is the reason to me at least NBA Jam became an arcade game. Literally made it for his dunking

Shawn Kemp deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!

Kemp should be talked about with Barkley & Malone as the one of the great power forwards. In his prime he took both of them on and beat them. Sonics had the best record percentage wise for the league for all the years Kemp played for them. He got more votes than anyone for finals MVP against Jordan's bulls. Its also what he did for basketball. He was the highlight show for dunks. He got millions of people following basketball because of his play. Dont think people realise how important he was to the NBA

Shawn Kemp was a greatest explosive power forward.

Reign Man should be in the HOF.

Shawn said "I'm just gone keep selling WEED" 😂 My FAVORITE NBA player of all time. 😎👌🏀

TWO OF THE BEST,,,,,,,, HALL OF FAME FOR KEMP ...

Kemp was my favorite player of all time, then I fell in love with Gary and the Sonic’s. Man I miss those days.

the glove and the reign man....America sports royalty

I was born in 1982. My childhood consisted of watching Sonics games from November to June then being able to watch Griffey and the Mariners all spring and summer. We were spoiled with some of the worlds best athletes here in the northwest.

Shawn Kemp and the Glove Gary Payton the best duo to play if not the best definitely the most entertaining

Shawn Kemp...just say the name and think back...HUGE status fo real ...after every dunk he had that u betta recognize flava...🔥🔥🔥

Kemp was just different. Not the greatest PF stat wise but definitely the most fun to watch. Reign Man #40

2 of my favorite sonics players . My childhood team was the sonics. My favorite players was Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Sam Perkins, Detlef, Dale Ellis, Tom Chambers, X man, Ray Allen. That's my Top 8 like the myspace days lol.

The Glove and The Reign Man in the building!

Kemp Payton forever.

Kemp should be in HOF no doubt.

Both now in their early 50s,fan of Sonics 1990s.

Bring back the sonics.

Still missing my sonics. Bring them back! Greetings from germany.

These two guys taught me to love basketball. I'm eternally grateful for that. Greetings from Brazil.

Grew up on Vancouver island watching these legends every week. Bro if Seattle gets the Sonics back they gonna have to steal Kevin Callabro back from Portland as well!! 🌧 🧤 🔥🔥🔥

Loved Gary and Shawn interacting with each other, at first GP didn't want to talk bad about anybody but Shawn got him going lol

Kemp will forever be one of my favorite players, had his shoes in middle school. He’s definitely worthy of hall of fame consideration.

I bleed purple and gold. But these two...I can't even type the words. SK was theeeee TRUTH!!!!!

God bless Gary and Shawn for all the good times

From reading comments I can see that people don't understand scoring in the 90's. Shawn Kemp averaged around 19pts for about 8 seasons which during the 90's was a very good scoring avg. Not to many players were avg. 20+. Even a hof such as Reggie Miller hovered around 21pts and he's considered a great scorer. So I think context needs to be added the convo. He should definitely be in the hall of Fame.

Two legends side by side.

I had a genuine smile on my face for this whole video. Awesome video of the dynamic duo, the OG Lob City!

Bring back our SuperSonics.

The Glove and The Reignman, thank you! I am a fan forever. Greetings from Dubai.

Shawn Kemp was so fun to watch and a legitimate All Star. I still can't believe Seattle didn't make the finals more than once because Him and the Glove were amazing.

#40...Always my favorite. These 2 men got me into basketball back in the day. As a young 10yr old in 1993, growing up in East Tennessee at that!!!! We don't have a team anywhere around. Memphis?lol...No. No ties to Seattle, or even Washington state at all, but to this day, I still rep the Sonics, Mariners, and recently the Kraken...all that from these 2, my favorite players....Couldn't believe Shawn was ever traded. He hit the nail on the head, they should've kept those 2 together, and they were the Jazz for 3 or 4 more years ATLEAST... Shawn being traded really hurt. I lost interest for a few years, then the Ray Allen years in 04-05 got back into it a little bit. Joined the military, then BAM....No more Sonics??? I'm supposed to be an OKC fan now? Nah fam...I'm good. I haven't been into the NBA since. I so hope to see A TEAM return to Seattle. I can only hope the name might stick. I'll be a fan from day one. Cheers! P.S. Just discovered the Simply Seattle shop, have $130 bucks in Merch already in the cart. Can't wait to sport it here in Knoxville, TN :) Green & Gold baby. Green & Gold.

I became a Sonics fan because of GP and Kemp and the Sonics were green and gold like the Australian Olympic colours.

The Glove and the Reign Man !

2 straight up 90’s ballers right there!!!! Watching them was amazing but watching them school my lakers was not

I´m a Sonics fan because of these two guys! Get them back to NBA!! Hands down, best bbal duo I´ve ever seen. It´s awesome to see their friendship transcended the game. Kudos on this priceless interview! And get that HOF for Reign Man ASAP!!!

I loved watching them 2 guys play philly stand up.

ITS A CRIME THAT SHAWN KEMP IS NOT IN HALL OF FAME!

These two have great chemistry. They need a podcast.

One of the greatest teams of all time

The inner child in me is so happy to see my favorite duo still alive, healthy, and kicking 😍

I can’t say enough about kemp he was one of my favorite players, he. Would play lose and could shot dribble dunk like a monster and play defense. People just don’t know ! If kemp went to college he would of been way better in my opinion but he was still a bball legend!

I love them so much! They both look great and happy and that's the most important thing. And never forget: Bring back the Sonics!!!

Detlef schrempf was the truth too ‼️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Man these guys in the 90s are the most exciting duo! I’m from phoenix and lived in utah and I was still watching these guys.

I love Shawn Kemp’s attitude on the hall of fame. And he should be in. The basketball hall of fame is different then the MLB and NFL. Their requirements are far less stringent. Avidus Sebobonis is in. Is there a person out there who thinks he had a bigger influence on the game and culture of basketball then the Rain Man? I don’t know, maybe I’m too biased, but it seems to me I could make a far better argument for Shawn then several men already in the Hall.

Shawn Kemp is my favorite player of all time. He was something else man.

Kemp and G.P = Showtime The respect and loyalty they show to eahother is priceless.. And the court, and off the court, 30yrs later.. The vibe is so good, You can feel it ! I love them brothers

My two favorite players of the 90's and my second fav team of all time... coming from a Knicks fan. I had the Reebok Kamikazes for my 8th grade basketball team. And I broke my ankle at 17 wearing the Gloves. No ankle support on those kicks but he sleeve was fire. I miss the Sonics.

Two biggest heroes in Seattle in the 90s will always be lit 🔥. Maybe they both can help bring the Sonics back to Seattle.

Great to see our 90s heros from Seattle. Absolutely lovin‘ it! Many greetings from Germany! Michael

2 of my favorite basketball players ever growing up I collected every Kemp and glove card I could unfortunately lost that collection when I moved 20 years ago

The Hoods favorite duo

Memories...I lived in Washington state for 26 years. It was great seeing these 2 together. I saw Kemp at Celebrities and GP at Castle Rock several times. They were very humble!

These 2 Dudes right here Gary Payton Shawn Kemp Was Really Motivational To My Upcoming Young Days of My Life And Me Being From Los Angeles Lakers Was My Real Squad But When I Started Watching These Dudes On God Everything Changed My Way On Looking At Any Duo Feelme Seattle Super Sonics Was A Real Impact To The League Still In My Opinion Shawn Kemp Should Of Made Hall Of Fame Are You Serious They Need To Figure Something Out Cuz Thats Not Fair.

So glad to see my favorite duo of the 90's still kickin it.

im from chicago and i am a die hard bulls fan. but the league doesnt even seem right without the seattle supersonics. shawn kemp and gary payton are the only players i loved that faced jordan in the finals lol i hated utah, phoenix, lakers, blazers but seattle was cool because of those guys.

Mabuhay from Manila, Philippines. Always reppin' for the Seattle Supersonics. Fantastic interview!

Man I miss the old NBA…. Shawn and Gary were so much fun to watch … I hope one day Seattle get’s the Sonics back!

Man! My favorite dynamic duo of all time! Love there friendship n chemistry! 😂

This was my childhood, like literally my whole life still to this day. I got a signed Shawn Kemp jersey in my office. Like this is everything to me! Edit: how in the world are these views this low?? What the heck man!!!

Man my favorite player ever…I named my first born son after him!! Shawn Kemp was in his prime when I was in High School and I remember being the only kid in my entire school (TC Williams…yes the movie Remember The Titans was about my High School) to have a Kemp Jersey and people clowned me and Shawn started dunking on EVERYBODY!! Needless to say everyone’s tune changed!

The Bulls, The Sonics, The Jazz... those teams inspired me to pick up a ball and start balling

The Glove sounds like your favorite uncle telling stories

I'm not from Seattle and never been there. I'm from Sydney Australia and Seattle is my favourite city and support all their Sports teams. Any team from Seattle I support.

Man, this was so good, that last bit of vacation - club - ghost especially 😂❤️

idk how i missed this one for 2 years.... great to hear Shawn sounding healthy. These were def a couple of my heroes growing up

Reign man know he dunked on everything on the court. Good to see he still round

Thank you for this interview. My favorite player and PG of all time Payton and his magnificent duo Kemp.

That 90s Seattle team was so fun to watch! GP and Kemp were one of the most entertaining duos in the league!

Without a shadow of a doubt one of my favorite power forwards all time would be a NBA hall of famer if he stayed a Sonic and the weight gain, really unstoppable but if Ben Wallace gets in he should be at least 5 spots ahead of him

Fist dunk highlights I watched I saw Kemp cuff that and BOOM

In their prime, dude were a force. Shawn was the first to change the prototype power forward

Loved seeing how happy shawn was! Worst thing to ever happen to him was getting shipped out of seattle!

Shawn Kemp - THe BEST NBA Dunker ever !!! 🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥

I need a green and yellow Kemp jersey again DAMN

People say Iverson brought swag in the league...na, Kemp brought that swag in .. That walk, how he had the Jersey halfway out .. The way he grabbed the rim and hung off that bit$$....

One of Shawn's points for being in the Hall of Fame is his athletics. No one moved like him for his size. No one. His strength for his size was unheard of at the time. He could jump out of any gym. His shot improved big time as his career went on. I believe Kemp should be in. I could see why they say no too. Didn't have the longevity. But given his time in Seattle and how he played the game yes. He should be in.

Amazing interview, anytime you saw these guys play it was nothing but pure excitement! THE GLOVE and THE REIGN MAN!!!

Two great players in one video. Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Loved watching the SuperSonics in the glory years of the NBA. Thanks to the Glove and the Reign Man for all the enjoyment you gave us fans. Couple of all time greats! I talk about you guys all the time to my son who plays in grade 12 and how I can’t relate to the league now.

Wow! The energy, the love, the sencerity, the chemistry between these two men - simply phenomenal. Definitely the greatest duo the NBA has ever seen. Great interview.

My guys! Even in this video you can see the chemistry between them and how well they compliment each other. Miss my Sonics, man...still have a 96 Shawn Kemp card, kept it in all my wallets through the years! Bring em back!!!

These guys made my chilhood worth living...Sonics forever 🫶🏻💚

Seattle deserves a basketball team WAY MORE than OKC. BRING THE SONICS BACK TO SEATTLE!!! 👍🏾

Greatest duo of all time! The feeling of these two on court spoke louder than stats and rings 🤘 🐐 🐐 🏀

LOL...Great interview. What a hoot these two are. My gawd

Bring back the SONICS!!!

Thank you for bringing this to me here in the UK. These guys were my heroes growing up. I hope I get to go to Seattle some day and see my Sonics once again. Sonics Forever 💚💛

I so love these guys, takes me back to the 90's, to our great Sonics. I hope someday we'll get our team back to where it belongs... to damn Seattle! Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful interview

awesome! i always check to see if gary and shawn got a new interview together, the original lob city

This was simply amazing! It's so great to see Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton together and know that they are still best of friends!

30:32 that laugh! I miss watching these guys but I know that Seattle will get a team again...hopefully within the next five years. I grew up attending Sonics games, and I want to take my family to watch them play one day!

The super cool legends!!

I fn love these guys. They're badasses and they're respectable gentleman. I met Shawn at a tech n9ne concert not too long ago and he was totally cool. Watching this bs session with my childhood heroes just makes me so happy...fn love it

Growing up in Saskatchewan, Canada you have lots of options for teams to cheer on & wear their jerseys. If Seattle gets a team back can’t wait to watch them play again!

I come from east Africa 🌍 1993 in America 🇺🇸 specially North west puget sound Seattle Washington I was in 1993Nov to 2002Nov I yous to love ❤ Seattle Supersonic Gary and Shawn and rest of the team was my team 1990s it was sad they left the team in Seattle

these two were so exciting to watch. man such great players...thanks for the memories..the chemistry between these two was just straight adrenaline...loved the sonics in those days and I'm a Knicks fan from New york

As a Chicago fan back in those championship years, it was a shame to see these two broken up. They were one of the most exciting teams to watch and the biggest threat in the West. Not saying they would have overcome my Bulls with Jordan... but they had a chance when Jordan retired.
