    Shawn Kemp charged with drug possession

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...v=ap&type=lgns

    HOUSTON (AP) -- Shawn Kemp was arrested and charged Friday with possession of marijuana, the latest drug-related trouble for the former NBA All-Star.

    Kemp, 36, was arrested following a traffic stop for driving without a license plate shortly after midnight Friday. An officer with the Harris County Sheriff's Department pulled Kemp over and said he noticed the smell of burning marijuana coming from Kemp's vehicle.

    The officer later found less than 2 ounces of the illegal drug in Kemp's possession. The six-time All-Star was released from the Harris County Jail after posting a $500 cash bond and faces a July 28 court appearance.

    Kemp checked into a rehabilitation clinic for cocaine use in 2001. In April 2005, he was arrested for possessing small amounts of cocaine and marijuana in his truck.
    This is a crying shame. When I actually liked the Sonics, he was a major reason why. It hurts to see him fall apart after leaving them.

    I remember an old commercial for Honeycomb that featured a free Shawn Kemp or Patrick Ewing poster inside specially marked boxes. Kemp and Ewing were the shiznit back then.

    From Rotoworld:

    Shawn Kemp says that he has not done drugs since 2004 and that the marijuana found in his truck on Friday was "old" and he didn't know it was there.

    He could have at least blamed it on one of his 5600 kids.
