    LOL.

    But Kemp is a little too "bad" of a "boy" for Rudy and CD. Bongs in the locker room makes for a bad impression on everyone.

    And if Kemp came to the Rockets?

    Rudy: Moochie! Sub for Steve! (pause; glances down bench) Where's Mooch?

    Glen Rice: He was just here a minute ago, Coach.

    Rudy: (cocks head to one side) What's that sound? Sounds like someone crying for help!

    Kemp: (on bench, of course) Hey Rudy I got the B.G.'s, I gotta crap real bad, I'll be right back.

    Rudy: (eyes getting wide as dinner plates) Crap? That's not crap! Stay there, Shawn! (yells toward Kemp's a$$) Mooch! Hang on buddy, we'll get you out!

    Moochie's voice: Mnnff! Mnnff!

    Rudy: Yao, give me a hand!

    Yao: (making face at sight of Moochie's 'fro sticking out of the back of Kemp's shorts; speaking in Mandarin) There's nothing in my rookie contract about this! No, no, forget it, not for a back-up PG!

    Cuttino: Boki, you and Yao, get in there! Come on rooks, tonight you're gonna earn your pay!

    ---ESPN SportsCenter---

    Dan Patrick: Our top story, worthy of a new category in the ESPYs: Moochie Norris was extracted tonight from Shawn Kemp's, er, derriere. I swear I am not making this up. Apparently the massive PF didn't glance down at the bench before sitting down. The fire department had to extract the backup PG from Mr. Kemp using the 'jaws of life.' Here we have video of the incident. I warn you, this segment is extremely graphic. (shows video) Moochie Norris was rushed to Houston's Hermann Memorial Hospital where he is in serious but stable condition; inexplicably, Shawn Kemp was taken to Ben Taub Hospital where he is still in the ER waiting room, awaiting treatment at this hour. The head nurse at Ben Taub's ER offered this comment about Shawn Kemp:

    Nurse Ratched: We'll get to him when we get to him.

    Dan Patrick: For the record, the Rockets were leading the Hornets but the game was canceled and will be made up at a later date. More on this story as it develops.

    Also equals: the two most overpaid players in the league. Isnt Kemp still on his old contract that he signed with Cleveland?

    not that we would want to, but we could sign him for the vet's min. and the rest of his contract gets paid to him by the blazers.

    Bang on TBar. Kemp is the poster boy for everything that is wrong in sports today. Huge talent in a good situation with more money than he could ever spend. And he just pissed it all away. Rampant, ugly greed.

    Why would anybody want to bring him to Houston. Don't we have enough fatherless children already?

    Roxtxia, great post.

    I loved Kemp's excuse for getting fat. He said that after he was traded to Cleveland, he needed to bulk up for the more physical Eastern Conference

    I would love to have him in our front court...he can still ball and damn, he can knock down that ugly jumper too....but one big problem.

    why would he give back almost all the remaining money......25 mil or something like that.....

    was it that he still has that snow man problem and it is really bad and there is some clause that would not negated the money and he wanted to save face?

    or

    was it that he loves Portland so much for treating him right?

    or did they give him a large after tax lump sum?

    I really need to know why he gave it up without much of a fight?

    That is a fantastic pic. Kemp was so awesome on the Sonics. It's hard to believe how far he's fallen.

    He is only 33 years old. He could have 5 more productive years if he would just wake up. Kemp in his prime vs. Duncan would be a good matchup.

    Duncan would have killed Kemp. Kemp had problems scoring in the 1/2 court & didn't have the bulk to handle Duncan. Now he's got too much bulk to handle Duncan.

    I'd do it just to hear Yao try to explain to Kemp about China's one-child policy.

    My gawd...Not only do we have the ugliest uniforms in the league, but we used to have the ugliest FLOOR in the league! 2003 can NOT get here fast enough...

    And I belive that is an OFFENSIVE foul by Kemp! :)

    Yep, that's an ugly floor. Looks more like an American Gladiator arena than an NBA court.:(

    We don't need Kemp...he's just going to be a waste of space on our bench. But if we had the chance back in the day, I would of jumped at the shot of getting the "Rain Man".

    rockHEAD, I give you props on that pic of that fat kid...that fits Kemp to a T.
