#3 Shawn Kemp
The Reign Man Shawn Kemp dazzled the NBA with his high flying dunks and legendary post-dunk celebrations. His alley-oop connection with Gary Payton is the stuff of legends (just ask Kevin Garnett). The six-time All-Star averaged 19.6 points and 11.4 rebounds for the Seattle Superonics during the 1995-96 season and reached the NBA Finals (losing to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls). For some time, sky was the limit for Kemp.
In 1997, he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers and started having difficulties with his weight. During the shortened NBA season of 1998-99, he weighed 280 pounds when he arrived at the training camp. Miraculously, despite failing to lose weight, he managed to score 20.5 points and grab 9.2 rebounds for the season.
At the end of the 1999-2000 season, the Cavs traded him to the Portland Trailblazers and his drug problems really started to surface. His first season with the Blazers ended prematurely as he had to enter a drug rehabilitation center. Because of his cocaine and alcohol abuse, his production also dipped from 17.5 points per game to just 6.5.
In the end, he never really managed to salvage his career and one of the most electric dunkers of all time, spent his last few NBA years attempting one comeback after another.
