Shawn Kemp

As one of the great (if not underrated) stars of the late 1990’s, Shawn Kemp was extremely displeased with the Seattle Supersonics handing center Jim McIlvane a huge free agent contract, as opposed to taking care of the home-grown Kemp. Kemp demanded a trade, and was sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers prior to the 1997 season.
Cleveland game him the money he sought, in the form of a seven-year deal worth $107 million. But when the NBA lockout shortened the 1998-1999 NBA season, that’s when Kemp’s issues with substance abuse and weight gain began to destroy his once-spectacular NBA career.

Tristan Thomas should be on this list as well.. Definitely not worth the 82 million he signed for. Lets see what he does now that LeBron is gone. I hope he steps it up even more, But he does get an honorable mention for punching Draymond Green!

CP3 will be on this list, should be on it now! DEFINITELY will be on it in a few years!

You forgot to mention Carmelo Anthony and anyone who has paid him anything
