Freakish athlete. This is pretty much the best way to describe Shawn Kemp when people mentioned his name because he is such an explosive athlete at his size, and no question he is Blake Griffin before Blake Griffin.
Looking at the other part of his game, Kemp is also a pretty good defender, but as you can tell, he never made any All-Defensive teams at any point during his career which is part of the reason he couldn't able to develop into a complete two-way player which would've made him a nightly household name and ranked higher in the pantheon of greatness not only among power forwards but overall as well.
In your opinion, do you think Shawn Kemp will develop into a complete player if he had taken defense more seriously?
