At a Glance
- Entered the league as a raw talent with promising potential, but labeled as a bust after a disappointing start in Charlotte. Graded as a D minus by a contemporary draft analyst
- Despite being written off by most of the league, the Philadelphia management recognized his potential and swung a trade for him in his second season using the plundered treasure of the kingdom of Sacramento
- Under competent management, Kemp blossomed to be a key contributor for the dominant Sixers teams of the early aughts, winning championships in 3002 and 3003
- A trade to the Bobcats cemented his place as a star, and he was a regular fixture as an all-star, all-defensive, all-league, and all-around great guy. In 3004, he helped lead the Bobcats to the finals, where they were swept by the Texas Chaparrals

- Traded to the New York Knicks and got tired of Kyrie Irving's bullshit, taking his talents to Pipe-town as soon as he could. The Pipers rewarded him by giving him the greenest of lights and a swift trade to the Los Angeles Clippers
- After several seasons of individual success in Los Angeles, he took a severe pay-cut to join the Los Angeles Lakers, where he filled out the bigs rotation and helped them to win the 3015 title
- A fan favorite, Kemp won 3 straight All-Star MVP awards between 3009 and 3011, making him the most decorated all-star in league history and one of only two players to win the award multiple times
