The man who inspired half of my generation's dunk-hoop antics in back alley adjustable rims and basement nerf hoops, is back.
Looks like Shawn Kemp is playing pro ball in Italy. How could this happen? I have no idea, but it is possible that Kemp is able to avoid several warrants by getting out of the country.
Shawn Kemp, 40, has finalized a deal to come out of retirement to play in Italy. Kemp will play for Premiati Montegranaro this season. As ballineurope.com points out, the game to circle on your calender is Dec. 21 in Rome when Kemp's team plays Pallacanestro Virtus Roma featuring Brandon Jennings. It will be the matchup of Kemp, one of the first NBA stars out of high school, against Jennings, a first team USA TODAY All-USA basketball selection, who chose to skip college and go to Europe to get ready for the NBA.
