Moving this video to mkone's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

mkone cannot send this video to Beggar's Corner because mkone does not have enough Power Points - ignoring beg request by mkone. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

Incredible. Pretty sure this is the very definition of awesomesauce. I remember a rumor that his hands were so small that he couldn't even palm a basketball. I'm pretty sure it was true, even though I couldn't confirm it with some digging; all of these dunks are either cradled (tomahawk) or two-handed. Also, Kemp was clearly Kevin Garnett's primary influence--he virtually emulates Kemp's style.

I'm only 6 foot and can palm a ball with normal hands for someone my size. Anyone over 6'6 can palm a ball easily, at 6'10 I'm sure Kemp had a better grip on the ball with one hand then a lot of us do with 2. When you throw down dunks as hard as Kemp is in these you need to be able to palm the ball or use both hands otherwise you'll lose your grip.

I am actually 6'6" (no, really, I am), and can palm a ball. The point that I was trying to make was that he was that much more incredible for the fact that he had tiny hands. Some more digging has uncovered some unsubstantiated references to the small hands rumor, but nothing worth linking to.
