Former Seattle SuperSonics star Shawn Kemp revealed that former head coach George Karl routinely borrowed clothing from his players' lockers without asking. Kemp explained during a podcast appearance that Karl frequently arrived at games missing outfit items such as ties, shirts, socks, or shoes and would simply search the locker room to take whatever he needed to wear on the sidelines.
According to Kemp, players would often spot Karl wearing their personal belongings, including a specific instance where Karl wore Kemp's designer socks. Kemp also confirmed that Karl returned the worn items directly back into the lockers unwashed after games. Kemp played under Karl in Seattle from 1992 to 1997, reaching the NBA Finals in 1996.
