Kenyon Martin Says Bruce Ratner to Blame for Sorry Nets

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:02:42 -0500

Kenyon Martin played for the New Jersey Nets six years ago and was around Bruce Ratner briefly but that doesn’t mean K-Mart can’t take shots at the Nets Owner. Kenyon says if you need somebody to blame for New Jersey’s overall decline, including the 0-14 start, point your fingers at Ratner. Julian Garcia of the NY [...]

Don’t Hate Kenyon Martin

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:59:21 -0500

by Wendell Maxey This story isn’t about Kenyon Martin and Marc Cuban’s verbal sparring through the press. This story isn’t about Kenyon Martin’s dead-wrong thuggish fan perception. This story isn’t about the walking tattoo that is Kenyon Martin. It’s about Kenyon Martin finally feeling truly healthy after all of these years, vigorous enough in fact that the Denver Nuggets aren’t even interested in another 54-win season in hopes of capturing the Northwest Division. Forget that noise. They are ...

by Chris TomassonFiled under: Nuggets, NBA Referees, FanHouse ExclusiveDENVER -- Kenyon Martin can joke a little about replacement officials.

Kenyon Martin: Nuggets > Lakers

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:00:14 -0500

by Marcel Mutoni Over the past two seasons, Los Angeles and Denver have met in the postseason. Both times, the Nuggets were sent packing. According to Kenyon Martin, Denver’s emotional forward, the results of those postseason battles are not indicative of which squad is superior. Kenyon is convinced that his Nuggets are the better team, and went on the radio to declare his stance. From SRI: I think guys know that we were right there and everybody in that locker room and in the organizat...

Kenyon Martin in All His Tattooed Glory

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:15:11 -0500

And we open the last week of the summer without football … with Kenyon Martin and his girlfriend, the rapper Trina, posing for Urban Ink Magazine. If Trina seems familiar, it’s probably because she used to date Lil’ Wayne. Clearly, Trina has an affinity for heavily-tattooed men. Another photo (heavily airbrushed) of Martin and Trina [...]

WWE, NBA FIGHTING FOR MONDAY NIGHT VENUE

Tue, 19 May 2009 11:56:15 -0500

This story about Kenyon Martin’s “feud” with Mark Cuban has been such a non-starter for me, so I was relieved to see that Vince McMahon of WWE fame was locked into a much more substantial standoff with Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke over the use of the Pepsi Center this coming Monday night. McMahon claims [...]

NBA commish David Stern put in his two cents on Mark Cuban’s half-assed blog-based apology to Kenyon Martin and his mother: Stern, via the Associated Press, said he had asked Cuban to apologize more directly to Kenyon Martin’s mother, Lydia Moore.

Disappointing Fan Behavior

Thu, 14 May 2009 11:03:34 -0500

I don’t understand why some fans feel the need to be disrespectful at sporting events? Like many people, I was very disappointed and upset by the behavior of some of the Dallas Mavericks’ fans during their playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. First, they poured beer on Kenyon Martin’s mother; then poured beer on/cursed at Carmelo Anthony’s fiancée Lala Vasquez; and then throw ice at and disrespect the Nuggets’ GM. That behavior is unacceptable!

Why do some fans feel they have the right to do this to the family and friends of players? How would they feel if it was their moms or girlfriends being treated like this? I don’t even understand why they feel that it’s ok for them to berate players at sporting events? You can’t do this at any other job in the country. I can’t walk into Neiman Marcus and start insulting the girl behind the makeup counter! I can’t walk into McDonalds’ and start cursing out the guy frying french fries for no reason! I’d get thrown out and probably arrested! I think these fans should be thrown out of arenas and banned for a least 1 year for their actions. That goes for all sports: MLB, NFL, NASCAR, etc.

I think the fans seated around them are just as responsible for not pointing them out and turning them in. I mean, what kind of example is that setting? If we players are being held to a certain code of conduct on the court or field, then the fans should be held to the same kinds of standards in the stands.

I don’t mean to offend anyone but this really disturbed me and I wanted to find out what the rest of the blog nation had to say about it...

Melo's Fiancee Furiously Fights Fan, Gets Ejected

Tue, 12 May 2009 16:58:24 -0500

Last night, MTV personality and Carmelo Anthony fiancee LaLa Vasquez decided to start a feud with an unnamed Mavericks fan that ended with Vasquez being escorted from the premises. Score one for the Mavs. Video proof that money can’t buy class, as well as a hearty dose of [...]

Mark Cuban Apologizes to Kenyon Martin's Mom on His Blog

Tue, 12 May 2009 11:13:19 -0500

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is used to having his mouth get him in trouble. He’s repeatedly been fined by David Stern for complaints about the officials, other teams, and life in the NBA in general. On Saturday night he may have taken things just a bit too far when he apparently told Lydia Moore, the mother of Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin, that her son was a thug and a punk. [...]

NBA Feud Video: Kenyon Martin Swears Revenge on Mark Cuban

Tue, 12 May 2009 10:19:22 -0500

What’s going to happen next in the big feud between Kenyon Martin and Mark Cuban? Will Kenyon get a Twitter account and use it to call Cuban a punk? Will K-Mart’s mama beat the bejesus out of Cuban with her purse? Will any of this matter after the Nuggets get done booting the Mavs from [...]

Mon, 11 May 2009 14:17:50 -0500

After the hectic finish to Game 3, where many believe that the officials blew a call that might have saved the game for the Mavs, Mark Cuban got into an exchange with Kenyon Martin’s mother and referred to her son as a “thug.”

Kenyon Martin "Pimp Focus" is Not Strong At All

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:56:20 -0500

Honestly sometimes when I am watching sports I am doing a lot of different things. Twittering (http://www.twitter.com/BlkSportsOnline), working on the site, texting, breaking stories, Bed Gammon and downloading..well..you don't need to know what I am downloading, but you get my point. Every once and awhile I will see something and it seriously takes me aback. Yesterday evening was one of those times. I am watching the Nuggets vs. Hornets. The Nuggets were handling the Hornets pretty ea...
