Sad with that type of talent. Roundup: NBA Suspends Blazers' Kemp Without Pay Compiled From Wire Reports PORTLAND, Ore. (Feb. 22) -- Portland Trail Blazers forward Shawn Kemp was suspended without pay by the NBA on Friday for violating terms of the league's anti-drug agreement. The NBA said the suspension will continue until he has "resumed full compliance with his treatment program.'' "This is a difficult time for Shawn and his family,'' Blazers president and general manager Bob Whitsitt said in a statement. "It's a situation that people face everyday. The entire Blazers organization will support Shawn in his effort to put his personal life in order.'' Further details were not immediately available. The Blazers scheduled a press conference Friday afternoon to discuss the matter.
A complete waste. I have always defened him...but it's hard to do so anymore. Guy earns $20 M to do hardly any work...hard to feel sorry for his 'problems'...
