Denver Post writer Marc Stein has confirmed that Shawn Kemp, at least physically, does look like his former All-Star self, and is still eyeing a return to the NBA. Kemp, 37, has shed 70 pounds from his 340 pound frame.
"What made it not fun was carrying around two bodies," Kemp said. "You can play at a high weight. You often feel like you can do things mentally, but physically you can't do it. That's what was going on for me. The instincts and all that were there, but I couldn't get the job done. Athleticism, conditioning, that is not a problem now."
Kemp is particpating in the Nuggets free-agent training camp that ends Monday.
"It's humbling, but it's fun," Kemp said.
