Kemp in Jail

SEATTLE -- Former NBA star Shawn Kemp was arrested early Monday after officers stopped a pickup truck he was in and found what appeared to be marijuana and cocaine, authorities said.


Kemp was being held for investigation of drug possession and is due in court Tuesday, King County Jail spokesman Troy Bacon said. Kemp has not been charged with any crime.


The county sheriff's office said the arrest happened in suburban Shoreline after an officer smelled marijuana while talking to two men in a pickup. The officer found what appeared to be a small amount of cocaine, about 60 grams of marijuana and a semiautomatic pistol, the sheriff's office added.


Kemp, a five-time All-Star, was drafted by Seattle in 1989 and played for the SuperSonics until 1997 when he was traded to Cleveland in a deal that brought Vin Baker to Seattle from Milwaukee. The power forward also played for Portland and Orlando before ending his career in 2003.


He led the Sonics with 23.3 points and 10 rebounds a game in the 1996 NBA Finals, when Seattle lost to the Chicago Bulls in six games.

Realistically, I think he has between 9 and 16.

Coolmacs gonna come out of the closet tongiht!

anyways to kemp............my holy cowness.nooooooooooooohhhhh.... i liked the rainman.........or was that reignman..........but noooooooo...he cant be jailed for a long time..........think of his offsprings......he's bulging stomach.........and his idiotic career.....

ahhhh i just have to get that out in me......well too bad shawn. this must have been the product of giving a gazzilion of dollars to an 18 year old.

i think he means to say, kemp is yo daddy foo!

Coolmac.. u should call him the reigndaddy!

you know, i still dont understand how the hell you can have that many posts in 2 monthes

i just dont know what hes on about...

Perhaps it's no surprise, but it's disappointing. The Reignman was one of my favourite non-Bulls players back in the day. In just a short space of time he went from being one of the league's most exciting young players to past his prime.

nooooo mr.kemp!!! well hope everything goes well cuz hes my team .

Poor Kemp..................

Reignman was soo cool back in early 90's.. i love his dunks..

Poor Kemp..................

OK, if he would rape some girls, would you also say "poor Kemp"? It's his own fault. And it's really no surprise.

It is a shame to see one of the past nba greats fall like this but like its been said its his own fault so i show him no pitty.

"THE FIRST NBA PLAYA TO ROT IN JAIL"

I belive the first nba player to do this was somebody called Robertson, called remember his first name.
Played for the Raptors in 96, playing in the nba but STILL felt the need to rob houses!

well... if he commtied wrong then he gotta take the punishment!

you know, i still dont understand how the hell you can have that many posts in 2 monthes
