"...Shawn Kemp has 12 (kids) by 13 mothers..." That's pretty amazing that two mothers bore one child!!  |

scary to see how badly regular newspapers mangle facts.
iirc, the Sports Illustrated article said that Kemp had 7 children by 6 women. (something like that). It also mentioned that he financially supported and had relationships with all his children.
I thought the Sports Illustrated article itself presented a very fair view of the topic. While it was critical of the players, it also was very clear about the temptations and the fact that at least some of the women had gotten pregnant on purpose without the consent fo their partner (I know that could be a very long discussion) for the child support money or to have some sort of hold on the guy.
I would agree that the NBA has a serious image problem right now on a lot of fronts. The biggest one remains the fact that the games aren't very interesting until the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.
