Opening Weed Shop in Seattle

The Reign Man ... is now the Strain Man -- because ex-NBA star Shawn Kemp is officially in the marijuana business.

The 50-year-old Seattle SuperSonics legend is opening "Shawn Kemp's Cannabis" in Seattle on Oct. 30th -- a shop poised to become the first Black owned dispensary in the city.

In fact, Kemp's even hosting former Sonics teammate Gary Payton at next week's grand opening.

"I'm looking forward to welcoming Sonics fans on a regular basis, starting with opening day," Kemp said in a statement.

"I hope that Shawn Kemp’s Cannabis will be an inspiration for people to get involved with the legal cannabis industry, especially people of color.
