  1. The stuff about working on one's game is so true. Everybody thinks Jordan was just a physical freak "AIR" but he had the foot work of a ballerina in the low post and just nasty up'n unders and jump hooks. Complete basketball player.

  2. I laugh when they say Larry is slow, cant jump and is not athletic. Thats like a seal telling a killer orca whale 'I'm quicker than you".

  3. Early 90's Kemp was so exciting to watch. U were just waiting for some crazy, outrageous dunk to pop off at any time. Mid-late 90's level Kemp ascended to MVP levels. His game became so well rounded. He was so good in the NBA Finals against the Bulls.

  4. With all these NBA podcasts out there I have yet to hear someone say Bird played like trash. Everyone has a story about Larry scorching them.

  5. Kemp himself is severely underrated and imo one of the top 5 PFs of all time, and even an old and beat up Larry Bird dominated him.

  6. Larry: you the guy that broke my record in Indiana right?
    Kemp: yeah that’s right.
    Larry: I got something for you tn.
    Kemp: 😳
    LMAO!!!!!

  7. Can you guys try to get John Stockton on here to talk about the old days? There are many really hilarious stories about him trash talking as well and he seems really difficult to get an interview from so go get him!

  8. Pretty much this entire story is false. It's not hard to find the box score for this game on basketball-reference. Kemp only played 13 minutes off the bench and scored 5 pts with 2 fouls in Seattle's only game in Boston his rookie season. Xman started the game and played 36 minutes. Bird did have a phenomenal game, but "only" scored 40 and he played almost the whole game with 46 minutes. In a different video where Kemp is telling this story, he said Bird scored 50 in 3 quarters. Take the stories of how much better everything was in the past with a grain of salt. Time definitely makes memories grander. 20 years from now, Kemp will be telling the story how Bird scored 60 by halftime.

  9. There was a good movie back in the 1980's called To Live and Die in LA. & there as a scene the detective was drinking a beer and telling some broad that Quinton Daily was amazing, he says everyone talks about Michael Jordan, but Daily shoots from 30' like howitzer.
