Some guy walked up to him and asked him what his vert was, and Kemp replied “54”. I’ll never understand why the Reignman felt the need to lie like that.
Maybe slightly inaccurate, but not necessarily an outright lie. Squat Dr. on here as a running vert of 51" if I recall correctly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kemp hit 54" on the run. Maybe that’s what he was thinking of.
Uh, squat Dr is a fraud dude. If Shawn Kemp had a 54" vert he’s be able to shit in the rim. Just to clarify, Squat Dr is a fraud.
What makes you say AC is a fraud? Because you don’t believe his numbers or is there some other objective proof?
Also, I’m sure you’re exaggerating, but a 54" running jump would not get Kemp’s asshole even remotely close to the rim.
The rim is 10’ or 120" high. Kemp is 6’10" (82") and assuming his asshole is roughly half way up (41"), that means it would be 95" high at a running jump of 54". [/quote]
Uh, because he’s only posted photoshopped pics and one vid at an altered angle on a lowered rim, and his #‘s in the weightroom would be world records yet there’s no proof of them anywhere other than him bumpin’ his gums. Pretty much anyone who knows what they’re talking about realizes the guy is completely full of shit. Also, how many guys in the league can hit their head to the rim? Maybe 5? The highest vertical EVER recorded at the NBA combine was a 43.5 by Timmy Bowers. The NBA has their guys stretch full out with one arm unlike the NFL where guys half ass reach with two hands. So in conclusion, Shawn Kemp was nowhere near a 50", and I wouldn’t be surprised if he couldn’t get a legit 40" at his peak. I’d assume he was in the high 30’s.
when I was a kid, my family went to epcot center. and while we were in this almost empty theater, there was some group sitting that had these black umbrellas open for some reason (like it was raining inside or something)??. after the show, we exited the same way as the group and I was standing like 2 feet away from them for a few minutes while we were all waiting by the bathrooms.
EDIT: Scratch that. When I was like 10 my neighbor tried to get Warren Moons autograph at a swim meet. Moon asked if he had 20 bucks, to which my neighbor laughed. Moon asked “does it look like I’m joking?” and told him to scram. What kind of douchebag would charge a 12 year old kid $20 for an autograph?[/quote]
I haven’t met too many famous guys, other than opera singers (my dad was an opera singer - he used to take me to work sometimes when I was a kid). Pavarotti was a nice guy - I sat on his knee when I was a little girl. Margot Fonteyn (the late prima donna ballerina) was very nice as well.
My boyfriend has met loads of wrestlers. One time he had to go to LA on business and there happened to be a PPV so he found himself in the same hotel as the wrestlers. Steve Austin came and set next to him at breakfast, and he also got into a lift with Christian and the ended out hanging out for a while. He’s met a lot of the old ECW guys as well and most of those were cool, particularly Tommy Dreamer.
Yes. I met Hulk Hogan at a Bennigans in Denver. He was rude and angry. I understand that being a celeb and all that goes with it can get old, but order roomservice if you don’t like people.
I’m 6’6 and I was taller than him.
I met Scottie Pippen a few years back. Biggest jerk athlete (or celebrity) I’ve ever met. We asked him for an autograph and he just blew us off like we weren’t standing there. My mom says ‘C’mon, give the kids some autographs.’ and he just kept walking away. My uncle says ‘you ain’t nothing without Jordan’ and I’m sure he heard it but didn’t turn around.
When N’Sync were at the peak of their popularity, I met their dance choreographer at a place where I used to work. An N’Sync video was playing on our TV, and he said ‘yeah, I directed that dance part’ said it really arrogant and stuck up. Walked around like he was the man.
I always find it funny when the local celebrities think they are on top of the world. The second you leave town, no one knows who you are, and no one cares.
I met the Lone Ranger, Blaiten Moore (sp) when I was kid, seemed nice when I was 5 but my dad said he was a dick, did get his autograph.
Met Bull Dog Bob Brown, old time wrestler pre WWF, when I was about 12 and he threatened to throw me down the stairs when I asked him for an autograph, real nice guy for a shit head.
Well i literally ran into Howie Long one time. He was a really cool guy, extremely nice, seeing as how i sorta rammed his suv he was driving, while i was going backwards.

yeah, my imput is of that train of thought.
the only brushes with fame i’ve had have been cool–but they aren’t tradionally famous people
Terrell Davis and John Elway used to come to the quizno’s i worked at a few times a month, both really cool, sweet dudes. Henry Rollins is great too, Wayne Static was great, and David Gahan was really nice as well.

God you sound like a total weirdo mate and I don’t think you need to gain fame to become an asshole. Looks like you’ve achieved that holy grail while languishing in total obscurity.
For the MMA fans, I used to go to UFCs when MMA was only legal in 2 or 3 states. Back then you could walk right up to the cage before and after the events and there were fighters all over.
Some of the really cool guys, Renzo Gracie, Pat Militech, Guy Mezger, Kevin Randleman, Mark Coleman, Tito Ortiz, Don Frye, Guy Mezger, Jerry Bolander. Semmy Schilt Signed palmed my head and signed the top of my hat without me lowering my head at all and i’m 6’1". Chuck Lidell was pretty cool, Frank Sammrock is in his own reality but still cool to fans, Wallid Ismail is crazy as shit but loves the fans.
Not so cool… Mark Kerr was kind of a Dick. And people talk a lot of shit about Royce but I’ve trained with him a few times and he was always cool as hell.
And in Iraq General Petraeus called me a hero. Saw him in the DFAC and was like “How’s it goin Sir.” and he was all like “How’re you doin Hero!” so yea, no word of a lie.
