All of the words Matt Kemp used (and could have used) to describe his hips

All of the words Matt Kemp used to describe his hips

By now you're aware that Matt Kemp was traded to the Padres this week. And you're probably aware that the deal became official Thursday evening, after the results of Kemp's physical revealed arthritis in his hips. But Kemp would like you to know: His hips are just fine.

In fact, they're better than fine. One might say -- and Kemp indeed did -- that they're great. During his Friday press conference with the Padres, Kemp assured reporters that his physical results are nothing to worry about. "I think everybody in this room has some type of arthritis in their joints somewhere," he said.

He was adamant. Here are all the words Kemp used to describe his hips during that press conference:

"Unbelievable"

"Great"

"Good, man"

"Strong"

And here are additional words we think he could have used, if so inclined:

"Indestructible"

"Award-worthy"

"Superman-esque"

"Extraordinary"

"Real and spectacular"

"Heroic"

"Rock solid"

"Statuesque"

"Truthful"
