    I was just at the Lifetime Fitness in Sugar Land, and as I was waiting for a friend in the basketball courts, Shawn Kemp walks in with a lady (whom I'm assuming is one of his many baby mommas, don't know if he's now married or not) and another gentleman who looked like a trainer. Sorry, no pics, I don't usually keep my camera with me when I go work out.. but ever since I've heard about the Okafor and Dream sightings, maybe I should.

    Didn't really say anything to him... just shouted "What's up ReignMan" when he walked in and he gave me the nod. The weird thing is that he was limping... BAD... so bad he could barely walk so he pretty much practiced shooting for the couple minutes I was there.. so it looks like those rumors of him making a comeback to the NBA may be halted. I have no clue...

    Anyways, just thought I'd let y'all know... btw, does he actually stay in Houston or do y'all think he's down here temporarily?

    Does he still look fat? Or did he possibly get in shape? :eek: Such a waste of talent. :cool:

    The mid 90's Sonics were my favorite team back then ... Kemp was so close to becoming a Finals MVP during 95/96. He completely dominated that playoff run. That team went 67-15 and were one of the best teams of the 90's. Too bad the same year they had to face the 72-10 Bulls in the Finals ... :(

    That's okay ... you probably wouldn't have had the wide angle lens you needed to take his photo anyway! :D

    Now that's funny! I'd set that thing in panaramic mode and tell him to hold still. :cool:

    Actuallly, he didn't look fat at all... that was something I forgot to mention in my first post. But yeah, he doesn't look like the 300 lbs monster he was in Cleveland/Portland... but that horrible limp indicates that playing NBA basketball is not a possibility in the near future. He could barely walk, man.
