Lol Kenyon Martin on Kevin Garnett

[GOAT]

Y’all confuse people commenting on a players on court demeanor vs having actual beef . It ain’t that deep . I’m sure he was specifically asked about KG & responded with how he felt on the court .

Nope. This wasn't an interview. He wrote an article bragging about how tough he is and how he "couldn't play in today's league" (Which is probably true, but not for the reason he thinks. He just isn't that skilled). He brought up the KG thing all on his own.

See a lot of old players who I don’t recall every squaring up with anyone. I’m still trying to figure out how UD got his rep. He a thorough dude based on what he’s done for his community but the tough guy stuff on the court, never seen it. Same for David West

 

[GOAT]

he already said it to his face. That’s all that matters.

If you wanna take his word for it I guess. All I know is he pretended to be all buddy buddy on camera well after both of their careers ended.

If Garnett don’t refute it, then it’s probably true.

And you act like he said he didn’t like Garnett all he implied was that his tough guy antics on the court was all an act. He did it to get into players heads and it didn’t work on Martin while calling him out.


That don’t mean he gotta have beef with him

Martin lived up to what he was supposed to be. He was a high pick in a weak draft.
Playing with Kidd made him look better than what he was.

KG was a high energy good two way player. Media and commercials had people gassed about how good he was.

 

[GOAT]

If Garnett don’t refute it, then it’s probably true.

Or KG doesn't care to give a significantly lesser player the time of day.

 

[big bun]

didnt Martin get involved in a brawl and whiffed on his punch?

always came off as a fake tough guy

Tim Thomas exposed Martin’s tough guy persona. When it was time for him to show and prove, Kenyon didn’t do a damn thing to Thomas.

Kenyon Martin, Alonzo Mourning almost fought in Nets practice, K-Mart recounts story » (scoopb.com)

He did make Alonzo flinch (when Zo was on the Heat)

But I dont blame Zo for being on guard :shrug:

 

[Damnshow]

How funny, Tim Thomas called him fake tough guy. Now he calling others fake tough

 

[get these nets]

Always saw KG as being Pippen-esque. That his value was based on his stellar and versatile defensive ability. I thought KGs offense was a bonus.Being a complementary player to a 1 is the situation that Garnett would thrive in, much like Scottie did.

To be fair it was in the flow of the story

I played against guys who were physical and who really wanted the smoke. Derrick Coleman didn’t take shyt from nobody. I faced guys like Zach Randolph, David West, Antonio Davis, Dale Davis and Kurt Thomas. They didn’t back down and I had a lot of respect for those guys.

You can’t turn a porch dog into a guard dog, and there a lot of poodles in the NBA right now.

There were some guys like that back when I played, too. Kevin Garnett was a porch puppy -- a miniature chihuahua in a Dobermann’s body. I told him to his face, “You’re a porch puppy. All you do is bark.” He never wanted smoke from me. I told him straight up, “You better take your ass back to your huddle before I get mad.” Dahntay Jones heard it; you can ask him

This kinda leads to my point of it not being that deep

If we’re just playing basketball and getting physical, that's fine. When I was on the Clippers, we faced Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies in the playoffs and it was very physical, but there was mutual respect and no bad blood after each game. But if someone is being disrespectful, at the drop of a dime, I’ll slap the shyt out of them. Then, I’ll deal with the three- or four-game suspension, whatever the consequence is. Years from now, I’ll forget about those three games I missed due to suspension, but you’re going to remember the time Kenyon Martin slapped the shyt out of you.

K-Mart aint run down on Tim Thomas tho

He pretty much called KG a p*ssy, there was no need for him to make this article and personally go at him

everybody already knew this
