Well, The answer is obvious if your talking about their NBA careers. The Real Question is - aww hell there is no question here, We're just trying to make fun of them.
Wilkins had a great career. Actually, I thought he'd end up being one of the 50 Greats, but I digress.
Dominique should have been one of the 50 greatest ever no question he got screwed. And he could make a case for being the top scorer of the 80s since Michael didn't really get going as far as scoring titles until the late 80s, then again Michael might have more points in the 80s then 'Nique, no question. I remember right before the '94 season when Dominique was nearly traded to the Knicks. I love the Rockets, but having 'Nique on that Knicks Finals team might have been the difference that got them over the hump. It would have been fun to at least see the Knicks-Bulls rivalry with the Knicks having their own Michael Jordan in Dominique Wilkins. Then again how can you vote against someone name the "Human Garbage Disposal"! lol!
They were both similar players, but Nique had the better career by far. He could just flat-out take over games. Kemp is (or was) skilled offensively, but nowhere to the level that Nique was at. Both stunk defensively.
Nigue. He was more athletic in relation to his era, than Kemps was to his. I also pick Nique on longevity also. One of my favorite all time moments was the shootout in the playoffs that Bird and he had back in the 80s. If anyone remembers that game, youll know what im talking about. Wow!
I'd go with Nique too, but Sean Kemp did have a sweet career. I think he is very underrated. The Sonics made a good run. Sean peaked as do all good players and then he came crashing back. His carreer was not unlike many great players.
I think thats the thing. When Niques skills declined, it was a lot slower than Kemps. Kemp went from 20 pts and 10 rbs to a 12th man almost over night. It is actually very sad. I feel for the guy. Drugs did him in?
Gotta go with Nique. He was always my favorite player in the league outside of the Rockets. The most vicious power dunker ever!
its still possible kemp could resurrect his career. its not very possible for wilkins. ill reserve judgement.
Not even a question worth asking. Nique is a top 50 player of all time.....no matter what the NBA says. Kemp had the chance to be one of the best PFs of all time, but gave it up after the finals in '96. Stuff got in the way, you know....alcohol, food, a bit of drugs, trying his best to populate the earth. ....important stuff.
