Damn the Lockout

I just watched the 1998 NBA All-Star game on ESPN Classic. Early on Isiah Thomas commented how Shawn Kemp had managed to stay the same size since Isiah had met him as a teenager. Of course, a few months later Kemp gained about 85 pounds (and about 4 kids). This maybe the biggest (no pun intended) case of ironic broadcasting I've ever heard (runner-up being during Tyson-Holyfield 2, when 30 seconds before the bite Steve Albert says "Mills Lane just gave Tyson an ear full").
