- "Shawn Kemp is standing next to his car, a Dodge Magnum RT with Oregon plates and 24-inch chrome rims and windows tinted black. He's strapping 25-pound weights on each ankle. Dressed head-to-toe in swooshes — Jordan socks, Nike Shox and red and white shorts — he shoves two American flags into the ground at George Bush Park.
His hill awaits. But why the flags?
"This is the American dream,'' Kemp says."
Jesus Christ. Too bad the reporter neglected to note "Eye of the Tiger" playing on Kemp's jewel-encrusted iPod.
