Reply to comment by brostadon69 in Prosecutors: Kemp not facing charges in shooting by hhh888hhhh
I’m actually cool with him, he is originally from my area. I ran into him at a gas station. I said your the reign man. Asked for a picture. Then grabbed an Arizona ice tea came back out and he’s waiting. He asked for my business card. Said he needed some work done at his mom‘s house. I texted him and asked him if he wanted to come over for dinner. He brought a bottle of tequila, my friends stopped by. I asked to play him in NBA JAMS. I beat him with himself. He played with Maxwell and Hakeem Olajuwon (rockets) I have some pics I can upload. One of the most gracious and kind people I met. When finished doing work for his mom. She said thank you my son had a wonderful time last night. And no one has done that for him. He slipped me 200 for the work even tho I said it was free for the reign man.
One of the coolest stories I tell ppl. Couple weeks later he texted me rematch.

As a Kemp fan when I was younger, this story made my day

Yeah I grew up loving that Sonics team and Kemp was the epitome of basketball coolness.

Reminds me of the guy who Rick-rolled Rick Astley.

Holy shit, that is one of the coolest stories I've ever heard in my LIFE. Maximum respect for the Reign Man. I will never doubt him again.

Dude that must’ve been a little nerve wracking at least to ask a former professional athlete to come have dinner and hangout. And if what his mom said is true, good on ya for doing so

Thanks. His mom lives 10 minutes from my place so it’s not a long drive. He had his driver Huston there too. We fed him as well and he had only one beer.
We sat on the patio drink Coronas. Watching all the kids do flips off the diving board. All my friends didn’t believe me but I sent them a picture. And they all started showing up knocking on the door with beers. Got to hear lots of crazy stories playing against Jordan and what not.

Now THAT'S a great story. Glad to hear he's so cool. I've always liked him.
Also glad no charges filed against him.

Have you met Shawn Kemp!? That man is a sweetheart. He was incredibly nice when I met him.
