Father of Monkeyball

[ElNono]

Who is it?

I'm going with Shawn Kemp.

We all know about this tragic story. Unbelievable athlete, pea brain. He not only fathered Monkeyball but also 15 children. His drug abuse is well do ented.

All that said, I think he's the original monkeyballer. Here's a sample of his work:

Wilt Chamberlain tbh. Although when you're a 7 foot black man playing against a bunch of 6-4 white guys, all you really need is monkeyball to succeed.

^ sounds like Honkyball, tbh

Shawn Kemp also probably fathered Antonio Cromartie and Noel Divine since they have like 80 kids between the tres of 'em.

wtf kemp was a ing beast

[stretch]

in a way it was MJ, but not because he played or endorsed playing a monkeyball style, rather he was just able to do it so easily that people only focused on that part of his game, as opposed to his incredible post game, midrange jumper, and other fundamentals he greatly developed.

Lol


Kemp's dunks on Blake's


Kemp was a pretty smooth dunker for a big man

This is true... but MJ also had a compe iveness and will to win that none of the usual monkeyballers have, tbh... Dwight, Blake... they're all about prepping the next ASG dunk, IMO...

Nah, Blake's apparently been working on his jumper with a coach, while Dwight "Monkeyball" Howard has been busy crying about his back tbh....

Can't monkey around forever, especially when you're a 23 year old kneeless albino and Dwight is guarding the rim.

dwight is the bigger, superior monkey tbh

i wish i had the capability to play monkeyball, though

You need to have five kids first tbh.

[ALVAREZ6]

who do you guys think is the biggest relative monkeyballer of all time though?

I think Spud + Nate Robinson/50 Cent are up there. 5'7" humans are not supposed to be able to jump, put the ball through their legs, and dunk.

[Stalin]

its quite obvious, that the original monkeyballer was The Glorified Ben Wallace, bill russel

You also need to be Christian to be able to practice Monkeyball.

Loved Kemp's game 78 games a year.

Poor Kemp would have been ejected on his last dunk in today's NBA

[Latarian Milton]

u never see 7'0 guys playin' any sort of monkey ball imho. guards and small forwards keep throwing themselves into the 3-sec zone and beating the defenders with superior athleticism, that's what monkey ball means in most people's mind imho
