For just $10, this Shawn Kemp Collector’s Plate can be yours. Someone put this up on eBay, and I’m guessing only the biggest Sonics and/or Shawn Kemp fan would be interested. Kemp is a sad story – he went from one of the best power forwards in the NBA – and one of the most athletic guys I’ve ever seen – to a cocaine-abusing, illegitimate kid-making animal that ate himself out of the league. I prefer to remember the old Shawn Kemp, but not enough that I’m willing to dish out $10 for this plate. If the plate had a picture of him grabbing his nuts after dunking in the Olympics, then maybe I’d reconsider. That was one of the proudest moments I’ve had of being an American.
