Kemp's Italian Tour Delayed

It's all there in horribly convulted English, "Shawn Kemp apologises with its fans."

While his teammates on Premiata Montegranaro were getting beat by mighty Scavolini Spar 96-76 in a "friendly," the Reign Man was still stateside, stymied by paperwork and his confusion regarding just how many Vienna Sausages he was allowed to pack into his carry-on bags.

But Kemp, ever gracious, did manage to offer up this: "[Kemp] apologise[s] to the fans Montegranaro and to all his fans for this setback that it did delay the date fixed for departure from the States, reiterates its intention to play in Italy and all his enthusiasm tied to this idea."

Or something like that, anyways.
