Gina Mizell: Kenyon Martin on Nikola Jokic: “He goes out no holds barred and plays with an attitude. That’s what it’s about, coming down and taking it personal. And they put him in position to succeed. They put the ball in his hand and expect him to make the plays. He’s doing that.” #Nuggets
Gina Mizell: Allen Iverson on his time with the #Nuggets: “I’ve never played with so many talented guys on one team — Melo, Marcus, Kenyon and so on. It was just a great experience for me, and I’ll always remember the time that I was here. I had so much fun night in and night out.”
Gina Mizell: Kenyon Martin doesn’t think he could play in today’s NBA w/way it’s officiated: “I can’t adjust. I don’t know no other way to play. If you’re coming down the middle, I’m not moving out of your way. That’s not gonna happen. I’m not conceding two points. It’s personal.” #Nuggets
Gina Mizell: Kenyon Martin on the 2008-08 #Nuggets season: “‘Close’ only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades…it was a good run, but I’m not the one who’s happy about not winning. I take it personal. There’s things that happened throughout that series that we could have done better.”
Duvalier Johnson: Kenyon Martin said he wouldn’t be able to play in the NBA today. Said he was fined often with the rules how they were back then, if he played now. . He’d be in trouble.
