I remember playing a pickup game at the shoemaker center in Cincinnati back in 1999 and some dude from Xavier was making fun of Martins speech impediment, All I can remember from there was Martin going off!! Grabbing every rebound, blocking shots out of the gym and dunking on anyone who got in his way! Dude has freakish strength and will catch you with an elbow if you attempt to jump with him!! PURE BEAST!!
Never was a nets fan but kidd and martin were always two of my favorite players. Martin was undersized but an excellent defender but played with so much intensity. I watched him in Cincinnati too. I was happy he was a Knick for a few even though it was later in his career.
You can tell he is really strong and powerful. Funny because he is so lanky and wirey. I am surprised Martin didn't run down punches on that dude from Xavier.
I always thought he had a speech impediment, because I do also and a stutterer knows a stutterer he's good tho hes way better now myself also but some people are heartless lol. I played football and folks don't understand when your heart is racing and your intense it can make you stutter worse.
These days, that type of elbow that had been thrown by Martin might had you gotten, 20 days suspension, 1 million dollars fine plus free throw for Harden even if he wasn't involved.
Kenyon one of my favorite college players ever. But crazy how big the NBA is. At Cincy, he looked huge on the court. In the NBA he look like a shooting guard. Still balled out tho!!
That Cincinnati team was my favorite college team of all time. Dermar Johnson should of stayed one more year. He could of been the go to guy in his sophomore year. He would of developed more than what he did.
I’m a life long cincy fan that’s a fact he was so huge on cincy and he looked so small but he still was the same a best my favorite college player also peace and love
@Boxface idk what you’re talking about… His attitude was totally different with Tim and he (Tim Thomas) had K-Mart getting escorted out the back door of a club in Dallas…
Are yall serious? On and off the court kmart & tt had beef? I thought it just was a playoff series or two maybe a few regular season games and that was it.
@@ic5662they were definitely as good , Lebron was averaging 25 to 30 in this era and is putting up even better all around numbers in this era at 40 so how were they not as good?
This is the NBA that I miss, today these dudes are too friendly, passion and emotion creates fierce competion which creates hard play which creates rivalries bring sacrifice desire and hard work in the off season and anticipation for the match up, the build up is real this is why no matter the records rivalries are must see sports tv…
Martin said on a podcast recently that he hit Karl Malone with a dirty shot (as get back for Malone elbowing Isaiah Thomas years before) Do you have that footage?
@@k-mark9187 Finally someone that remembers that particular fight, lol, T-Mac couldn't fight at all....K-Mart got a few good shots in on him. I think this was the season where David Stern had chastised Kenyon Martin and let him know to tone down or he would be suspended for the rest of that season. Remember bro?
Not really. Pachulia and Beverley are reckless. They should do a better job of it. Bowen, Martin and Artest are pretty darn good in getting into people's head. Especially Artest. Amongst all, Artest was the real deal.
Daaymn. He went at Rodgers neck in tha thumbnail😳 ..and didn't know (til now) since '08 Rodgers has been a quadirpleigic. He was a solid PFband seemed to be s nice guy.. Peace n Prayer
I love this, homie went from that’s my bike and you’re my enemy to straight up ima loan u the bike till “we can arrange for you to get your own bike” best friends on the same team mentality lol
Here you go making up ish he was not injury prone he was black balled out of the NBA just like Wallace for having a bad attitude get your story together
I grew up with K Mart from the same area in Dallas Tx OAKCLIFF area and for the ones that actually know him that aggressive hard nose dont take no shit attitude isnt an act like some people think...even as a teen he didn't mind getting into with whomever win lose or draw with the area we're from you didn't have a choice or you were going to get ate
He was about business. NBA IS SOFT NOW. Kenyon played tough ball something you don’t see anymore . His son is tough but calm … he will be good in the nba… he’s definitely not soft either 😂
One thing Ik nobody looks at tho, is the 90s era for the most part actually averaged more points than the 2000s from like 2000-2009. But people will swear 90s and 80s players was booty. I’m js.
The nets didn't offer him a contract after his rookie contract. And it wasn't up to him. Cos you're a restricted free agent after your rookie deal. You cant choose a team. The nets moved him to the nuggets as part of a sign and trade deal.

Bruh!!! I don’t remember Gary Payton playing for the Bucks lol
For half a season in 2003.
I remember having a poster of him in a buck's jersey.
I said the same thing 😂
Didn't Karl include Ray Allen in a trade for him? insane
I swear lol

Word in college he was i thought i was the only one
6'9 pf going against 6'11-7'0....

I think his real height is 6-7, 6-8. Impressive af at his size
65- 61 4th qt score. Good old days when defence was played. Kmart was a beast
Also the 3pt used more now too
Nah the offense was just trash back then
@@caiusquallsqualls3290 i was jus bouta say this. 15 points a quarter is not cutting it
the pace was way slower back then
back when they shot 28% from
the nba three😂😂😂
K Mart got pretty good at baiting guys as time went on. One thing for sure is Tim Thomas really wanted some smoke.
K mart acted differently around Tim Thomas lol
@@bruhman562 That’s what happens when a tough guy from the hood meets an even tougher guy from the hood 😂
@Ice man Thomas punked K Mart in the club.
@Boxface idk what you’re talking about… His attitude was totally different with Tim and he (Tim Thomas) had K-Mart getting escorted out the back door of a club in Dallas…
Are yall serious? On and off the court kmart & tt had beef? I thought it just was a playoff series or two maybe a few regular season games and that was it.
I really wish Martin would of played for the pistons.
definitely belonged
K-Mart wouldve been a great replacement for Big Ben wen he left the Pistons and sign wit the Bulls
Or played in today’s league
BS. None of these guys are scared of him. Even Cassell got in his face
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯
He was good as Kidd bodyguard
Kenyon martin would be a beast in today’s game especially because he could guard 2 through 5 n he was athletic n could rebound
1 of my all time favorites in NBA he was an enforcer,defender,dunker,great athlete
NBA players looked more masculine back then.
They weren't as good tho there isn't any second half drought stat nowadays lol
@@ic5662they were definitely as good , Lebron was averaging 25 to 30 in this era and is putting up even better all around numbers in this era at 40 so how were they not as good?
Well, a big part of that is the average age was about 28 in 2001 compared to 24 and all these youngsters in the game and 1 & Dones.
Man i never thought ill say that the players couldn't handle that physical basketball today foreal MAJOR LUV FOR KENYAN MARTIN MUCH LUV
Nah definitely not the early 2000s
I wish k mart was playing today so he can regulate draymond green
This isn't really "rare footage"... These are playoff games.
did i just see gary payton on the bucks going against dikembe mutombo on the nets? what alternate universe have i stumbled into?
Lmaooo Jesus got traded for the glove that year
😂
Bro this is how Ray ended up in Seattle GP went to LA next year with Karl…

What are you like 15 or something
Now i see why Tim Thomas had à beef with him in the 2004 playoffs, it started the year before
You notice how he didn't want to messed with Thomas after he pushed Cassel...
With this video quality - I STILL have not seen it!
Martin said on a podcast recently that he hit Karl Malone with a dirty shot (as get back for Malone elbowing Isaiah Thomas years before)
Do you have that footage?
Look up “karl malone gets head taken off” he was out for bit
Kenyon Martin didn't do shit. He's a punk.
Martín era una bestia de fuerza eso Era todo tremendo jugador👌👍💪🏀
Kenyon was a Dawg! A True Tough Guy of this great league.
😅😅😅 he never messes with ben and Rasheed wallace 😅😅😅
I can't find any video of when him and T-Mac fought back when McGrady was with the Magic.
I remembered that. Kmart hated McGrady
@@k-mark9187 Finally someone that remembers that particular fight, lol, T-Mac couldn't fight at all....K-Mart got a few good shots in on him. I think this was the season where David Stern had chastised Kenyon Martin and let him know to tone down or he would be suspended for the rest of that season. Remember bro?
@@vincentcallahan6333 tmac couldn't fight at all 😂
U forgot that Clippers game wit him and Was it Corey Magette
Where is the time he almost got in a fight with Tracy McGrady?
I didn't like what he said about Jeremy Lin, but Lin killed him with smartness.
No one cares
I just noticed Gary Payton played for the Bucks. Wow!!!
and toni kukoc was a surprise too that i did not know
Yeah Gary Payton got traded for Ray Allen. Then signed with the Lakers in the off-season
Youngsters lol
Damn you gotta be young
yeah, 4a qwick min
46-49 in the 3rd is insane work😂😂
Kenyon Martin got into a lot of fights in the NBA 🏀🏀🏀🏀A+
He wouldn't have dared try Anthony Mason, Oakley LJ, Rodman or Mahorn. He's a punk.
@@axl8653 I like Rodman but why do people always mention him when talking about fighting? Rodman NEVER threw a punch in the NBA.
@@aaronflowers8881 Dude he got in people's heads so much. I loved Zo, but he toyed with Mourning. And certain players weren't going to tolerate it.
As far as I know Rodman never throw any punch maybe some annoying grabbing loll
@@aaronflowers8881 No but he'd push the shit out of you into the 4th row.
Kenyon Martin really fits to be part of the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys and also Ron Artest, Zaza Pachulia, Bruce Bowen, and Patrick Beverley
...i cant imagine if this 5 player played in one team in nba today...damnnnn!
Not really. Pachulia and Beverley are reckless. They should do a better job of it. Bowen, Martin and Artest are pretty darn good in getting into people's head. Especially Artest. Amongst all, Artest was the real deal.
@@rwwk17 getting into player's mind, no one does better than Dennis Rodman
@@---wc2zp definitely Rodzilla and Larry Bird were kings in this category
@@arnoldsarles3371 They couldn't....at least two of them would be suspended at one point or another
Dudes nowadays take offense because some people that actually know the game call today's game soft. How??
My favorite era of the NBA
KMart is like Miguel Cotto and DMX combined...both very aggressive and entertaining. ✊💪
Lmaoo
Kind of easy to act tough after you JON JONES ELBOW A BASKETBALL PLAYER THAT DOESNT KNOW ITS COMING
U never lied he dunk like a cotto right
I agree he was tough as they come
he's a razzistthugg
K Mart was a hard worker, aggressively tough and he was talented! Bryan Adams high school by way of Dallas Texas!
The most "heated" confrontation that K-Mart ever had was with Jeremy Lin, and Lin shut him up quick lol
YOURE DELUSIONAL MARTIN WILL BEAT THE SHYT OUT OF LIN
Cant see the reply. Wonder why
The way k-mart was talking about his fights in the nba on Gil’s arena I thought they where gonna more punches thrown
Gil’s Arena check in button
The biggest "hold me back" fake gangster in NBA history.
I didn’t know Yung Berg played in the league
No footage of him mixing it up with Oakley, Mason...Tony Allen or some other known Like-To-Fight-Guys who actually throw?
When shaq came with that energy with him he tucked his tail... you can't play gangsta sometimes
@@Clee-dv9jz exactly.
He wasn't really that guy
@@Clee-dv9jzShaq is a 7 ft 300 pound BEAST. Him not fighting the biggest dude in North America does not make him a fake tough guy, goofy
Daaymn. He went at Rodgers neck in tha thumbnail😳
..and didn't know
(til now) since '08 Rodgers has been a quadirpleigic. He was a solid PFband seemed to be s nice guy.. Peace n Prayer
That nuggets team definitely should’ve got internet was too stacked🔥
I love this, homie went from that’s my bike and you’re my enemy to straight up ima loan u the bike till “we can arrange for you to get your own bike” best friends on the same team mentality lol
Much Gratitude
Don't forget when he was about to run up on shaq but came to his senses. He knows better
Shaq Would Fold Him Up Like A Pancake
Shaq is bad choice!😂😂
Bro shaq is big but slow...kmart would have dusted him
Shaq really wasn't that tough..big asl tho
@@royaltyblessed2454 and you ain’t either
Aaron Williams was really that guy I see, look how Lonzo turned and seen it was him then hesitated..
Payton Cassell kukoc redd all on the same team? Wow
2:24 LMAO! Caster didn't know the whistle was blown and he was shitting on Jason Kidd's dead ball play.
This dude is like draymond green and Dillon brooks fused together lmao
Demarcus cousins before Demarcus cousins😂😂
I swear I don't remember Mutombo playing for the Nets
How old are you?
I loved Kenyon as a Nugget, I just hated he was so injury prone
Here you go making up ish he was not injury prone he was black balled out of the NBA just like Wallace for having a bad attitude get your story together
This nets team was a highlight real evernight
What if Martin vs Rodman vs Wallace vs Artist?
Tim Thomas was all for it. You noticed he was ready for action every time
Heated? This was a video of him fouling people.
Detroit area dudes are just different!!💪🤪
I didn’t remember Kucoc playing for the bucks…? Kenyon and that Cincy U were dope too.
K-Mart wasn't to be messed with...for real.
He knew who to mess with , did 'nt want no smoke with the real ones Shaq, Oakley , Mason , Rodman , Artest , Rasheed Wallace
They aint want none with him either 😂 yall swear KMart pussy but he had mfs shook.
He just horsed Oakley in the big three 😭
Then you talking like you could do something with them
Man Kenyon had Antoine Walker PISSED 🤣
The way Horry did Duncan, I glad K-Mart punked his ass out
The amount of techs Martin got for doing nothing is wild
Charging, hugging, pinning, pushing, elbowing, slapping, punching, trash talking, poking, grabbing, pulling, boarding, swiping, hooking
CRAZY MAN
Everybody know Zo cannot throw a straight punch!! Peep the Zo and Larry Johnson fight and you will see Zo got NO hands!!
Van Gundy hanging on to his leg like a damn fool 😂😂😂
Boy that lob at 2:27 would’ve been the best ever
Kenyon’s grome man. Straight up grome mang strength.
I grew up with K Mart from the same area in Dallas Tx OAKCLIFF area and for the ones that actually know him that aggressive hard nose dont take no shit attitude isnt an act like some people think...even as a teen he didn't mind getting into with whomever win lose or draw with the area we're from you didn't have a choice or you were going to get ate
Milwaukee had some Dawgs. Cassell, thomas, Johnson, payton
Martin really had those hands
He didn't have those hands for Shaq though.
If that’s ‘heated’ then you cook your steaks at 50 degrees
Wow, the spacing in some of these clips....you'd get blown out by 25 every game today.
Different era and game buddy!
Best basketball area for me
Was waiting for one punch the whole time! LOL
me too. too bad it was clickbait
Chest bump click bait...🤣
KMart was a Bully!!😂😂
During his Rookie Season he wasn't backing down from no Vets he's not a punk
My favorite player block shit dunk shit fight shit
Kenyon is why the Nuggets became the Thuggets. He was an absolute menace. 😂😂😂
Ah the good ol days
Respect, that was a good 1, give me moss, h.o.famer, proven vet' nearing nfl playoffs, coming soon
Jason Kidds behind the back alley op was over looked huh 🤔 like we didn’t see what could have happened
Can’t believe how soft the NBA has gotten nowadays🤦🏾♂️
Bro this is his highlight reel .
Dream starting five had they not traded him. Jason Kidd Vince carter Richard Jefferson keyon martin and Aaron willams net would have a title
Aaron Williams was a part of the Vince Carter trade they never played together
Ok so Jason Collin’s would fit in perfect than
I love K-Mart I swear.
Dude should've been playing in black air force 1
He literally scared the game out of Antoine Walker like every time they played.
Now let's go to Ron Artest
They didn't add the fight where he dropped Corey magette in here 😒 ND all the folks saying fake tough don't even fight 🙄 lol yall wild
Damn man smh when sports was the best then
Welcome to KMart
Antoine Walker wanted all the smoke.
Martin was the nba’s last goon.
Martin wasn’t no goon lmao dude knew who to play with and not to play with
Kenyon no goon number 1 pick .
He was about business. NBA IS SOFT NOW. Kenyon played tough ball something you don’t see anymore . His son is tough but calm … he will be good in the nba… he’s definitely not soft either 😂
Zach Randolph was the last one in 2018
ibaka
Back in my days 1930s this fella won’t make it past the 2nd game of the season
Kenyon was in stil is a real one.
5:21 y’all see how the ref broke it up, i miss this type of shit let them play
if its top 5 for undersized centers hes definitely in it. I put him , Joakim Noah, Draymond,
He tried the same thing with kobe an got his whole squad embarrassed
One thing Ik nobody looks at tho, is the 90s era for the most part actually averaged more points than the 2000s from like 2000-2009. But people will swear 90s and 80s players was booty. I’m js.
K Mart!!
I’m still rather shocked Alonzo didn’t tryout for a wnba team after his team with the heat.
he should have stayed with the nets....his career went down in denver
The nets didn't offer him a contract after his rookie contract. And it wasn't up to him. Cos you're a restricted free agent after your rookie deal. You cant choose a team. The nets moved him to the nuggets as part of a sign and trade deal.
