Shawn Kemp has been retired from professional basketball for about eight years now, but after eight seasons with the SuperSonics, he still lives in the Seattle area and makes time for a weekly appearance on local sports radio with the "Ian Furness Show" on KJR. In yesterday's show, Kemp shared that the Oklahoma City Thunder had offered him courtside tickets to see his technically-former franchise take on the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round. He turned them down, and joked about the idea of going in his old Sonics jersey. More »

There are a couple of surprises here, first, Shawn Kemp is only 40. Surprising only because Kemp has a daughter who's 32.

Of course this report comes via Ball Don't Lie (via The Sport Count) who claims that this article reports that. Only the article is in Italian.

I just wanted to take a second and wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there who are moms, who have moms, or just try to pick up moms at youth soccer games. Take the time today to sit down with mom, watch the Nets/Heat game, point at Shaquille O'Neal, and remind mom how lucky she is that she got to give birth to you, and not Shaq. More »
