    Wow. Didn't expect to see actual footage. But it sounded more exciting as a drive-by.

    Wish this would've happened in 1991 instead of 2023.

    We were their biotches for a while. but along came Dikembe to clear the path. No. Not in my house. Great moment.

    Kemp never had a signature scoring move, and that's all they really needed. They had the Defense. They had a full court press. They had the point guard. They had the athleticism. And they had a German scoring machine. The role players were Pierce, Gill, Cage, Perkins, McMillan. They were loaded... so to speak.

    Man its a shame Kemps prime was so short. He was a beast and deserves all time PF recognition. I think a lot of the newer fans don't know much about Kemp other than he could dunk but they don't think he was a superstar..or it could be fed by the lebron fans who devalue Jordan opponents to make LeBron look better, but I think its just he ddint leave his mark on the league. Seattle choked a few times and then he carried Cleveland to the playoffs and then he blew up in size and became an alcoholic was it? Or was it drugs? Idk too many people addicted to drugs that gain that much weight.

    I think at his peak, he's better than Blake minus the passing but Kemp was an elite and underrated defender. He started to get that mid range locked in. He just wasn't aggressive enough in looking for his shot. If he grew up with this generation, he'd have a much tighter handle and attacking the rim off the dribble at 6'10 and going coast to coast after the dreb. 25/14/4/2/2 with elite D

    How does this even get reported in a headline as "drive-by" - this is literally walk up to parked car.

    "Sorry, I was playing "Boyz in the Hood" on continuous loop in the background when I filed my story boss and I just got carried away"

    I just bothered to look this up, apparently washington state passed a bunch of "boyz in the hood" laws in the 90's to specifically outlaw driveby shootings, because of course they did, but you can get charged with it if you're in the immediate area of your car when you shoot.

    Seems kind of silly. Like, a shooting is a shooting regardless if you came on a car or a horse or a scooter.

    Scoot-by is a thing now in SF.

    Also, now that we have autonomous taxis roaming our streets, what if I shoot at someone from the back of an autonomous vehicle? ... It think it would be a ...

    Technically he is still worth 6 million, but down from 96 million. So it ain't all gone.
