Power forward Shawn Kemp wore this awesome home gamer for Seattle in 1993-94 when he was at the peak of his athletic prowess rattling the rim and dazzling the crowd with ridiculous alley-oop throw-downs. "Reign Man" as he was appropriately nicknamed averaged 18.1 points 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks on the year one in which the SuperSonics finished the regular season with the league's best record at 63-19 before falling to Denver in the playoffs.
Sonics jerseys from the early-mid 1990's have started to become classics for collectors. This white gamer has "SONICS" across the front in screened white atop the Seattle Green elastic panel adorned with yellow trim. "KEMP" appears on the back in the same configuration. His No. 40 is screened below in green and gold and on the back in the same manner. Appropriate size 44 Champion tagging is found on left front tail with "Designed 1993-94 and Tailored Exclusively For SEATTLE SUPERSONICS” and a "Body Length +2" labeled. The NBA embroidered logo appears on the front left shoulder flanked by the gold and green knit elastic on the collar and yokes. The polyester mesh and nylon shirt is all-original and shows moderate game use overall. It comes directly from the personal collection of Coby Karl (son of longtimeNBA coach George Karl) who played in the NBA from 2007-10. He receivedall items from his collection either straight from the player or throughhis father who coached Kemp in Seattle. Hard to beat that provenance.
