Nobody catched an alley-oop better than shawn Kemp.

Kemp was on of the best all around PF's at the time. Like everyone said, not on Malone/Barkley level, but in a whole different classification of his own

No, he was not.
Kemp was a great physical specimen, and hne terrorized people on the break. But he was not a premier PF, all players considered. He lacked many things, most notably a post-up game. He also had very little basketball IQ.
It's not only Chuck, Mailman or Duncan. I would pick Kevin McHale, Kevin Garnett, Chris webber over him without the shadow of a doubt.
I'd put him in Larry Nance's competition. Not higher.
