SuperSonics Legend Shawn Kemp Opens Up Weed Store in Seattle

Let it Rain. Shawn  Kemp began to find his place in the NBA as a star during his second season with the SuperSonics. After Kemp’s second NBA season, he picked up the nickname “Reign Man” after the SuperSonics’ announcer Kevin Calabro saw a poster with the name and thought it was a solid nickname. It stuck.

Now he may be going by the name Weed man, as he’s about to open up  his own cannabis dispensary in Seattle.

See below:

Here’s the mural on the side of Shawn’s new shop. “Shawn Kemp’s Cannabis” on corner of 1st and Denny. Not sure when it’s opening https://t.co/gWgI1WmPvg pic.twitter.com/N6lQ1bFDOC

Does that jersey say Kemp or Hemp? I think they missed a marketing opportunity…
