Maaaan that Cincinnati team was absolutely monstrous. Crazy athletic and will dunk on you in the blink of an eye.
Yeah then WVU knocked their asses out the tournament bahahah
THE NETS ON NBA LIVE 03 WERE SO DAMN TOUGH.
Facts!!!
KMart had a hardest back to back finals appearance 😅
K Mart need to have his own podcast as well
He’s a regular on Gil’s arena (Gilbert Arenas) podcast
@@airhco15 Gil is annoying though.
Kenyon should have played in The Color Purple, because all his life he had to fight. He had to fight Tracy McGrady. He had to fight Corey Maggette. He almost had to fight JR.
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Crazy 😂
Bro what is wrong with y’all 🤣🤣🤣
Now what I’m saying (Kmart voice)
Kenyon gave the nba hellll all facts..i remeber those days ..after playing basketballall week on friday after playing we make sure be at home before 8 oclockbat night for nba action just see kenyon and vince at times kobe but kenyon was that dude those times
Where the hell is Kerry Kittles and Keith Van Horn? That was definitely a dope squad!
“ He put his hands up but not high enough “ That sh!t was gangsta.
GReat to see y'all posting again after such a long while and respect to KMart for keeping it real!
Merry Christmas and Happy 2024 🎅🏀
John, you should be so proud man. As a fan, this intimate, personal style of interviewing coupled with your slotted commentary is beautiful work. Very excited for this series.
Great conversation and the overall production was fire. Much appreciated.
He was a Monster in the square; good interview Ahki!
Appreciate your interview style man. The narration segments are on point. Keep doing good work man.
Jason Kidd was a-GREAT-guard,great one-on-one defender,passer and could score.Jason was like the-FLASH-on the fast-break. LOL.Those Nets team K-Mart was on,went to the nba finals 2 yrs in a row,but,lost both times.
I’m a die hard Laker fan. I remember the 2003 NBA finals.
Once we knew we had the Nets… K Mart was the only person that had me nervous
K Mart just happened to play in the era of the PF. Timmy, C Webb, Rasheed, Dirk, KG, Mcdyess etc. He was a good player but he wasn’t in the same tier as those guys.
You’re not a casual, you stated McDyess’ name. That’s real right there. 🙏🏾
I would have to disagree with you on that one... Of the six power forwards that you mentioned, four became NBA champions; while two never made it to the NBA finals. Dirk & Sheed each won one, but never made it back. Kmart took his team to the finals in back to back seasons, went to Denver & during his tenure there they were constantly in the playoffs, advancing to the Western Conference Finals once.
@@kevinallen6663 That’s cool. You can disagree but you’re wrong. J Kidd took that team to the Finals in back to back seasons… I actually live in Jersey and went to the games. The Nets were poverty until J Kidd got here… Melo and Billups lead those Denver teams. Nobody thinks of K Mart carrying a team… He was great defensively. Never developed an offensive game whatsoever. Not in the same tier. 🤷♂️
As a kid growing up in Jersey the Nets were my favorite team. Besides early 90’s the early 2000,’s teams with K Mart, Jefferson and Kidd were my favorite years. Love K Mart! Should’ve never fired Byron Scott.
WELL DONE!!!
This was a classic episode! I had to susbscribe after this!
K-MART IS THE MAN
Great podcast!
New and subbed..looking forward to it, thanks
Basketball at its purest is art in motion, but it can also be so physical..I love it, it is beautiful
K Mart had the whole NCAA scared to play Cinci before he got injured.
Y’all should do guys that were like former number 1 players in high school classes or former college players that were GOATED and had to go overseas.
I need more episodes!!
The original lob city was in Seattle sir
We here early mane can’t wait
Yes sir
He sold Kenyon like he was All time great or something 😂
who are you ?
Kenyon is one of the few players where the highlights don’t do him Justice. The game footage is unreal
He worked on his shot a lot and he became a descent shooter but damn it was ugly af lol. Dude was just insanely exciting. Loved him.
Who else look up Jackson Julson after Kenyon fight story 😂😂😂
I didn't like too much of Kenyon as a player. But the more I hear him talk I enjoy him speak and the more I know his story the more of a fan that I am
Yo, K-Mart and Willie D voices sound exactly alike. K-Mart has a dark ninja’s voice 😂
I was a k-Mart fan and his passion on the floor..
Original lob city?
Actually it was Payton to kemp.
Gary and kemp was original lob city but kenyon was my 2nd favorite behind kemp.
K-mart a real one 😂 str8 dog. Salute 🫡
NBA was playing refball hard against the Nuggets in a few games in the 09 WCF, they should've been in the finals
Kenyon Martin was really good in his prime especially New Jersey he was a freak athlete with a high basketball iq If kenyon stays in the east he would possibly be a hall of famer.
Shocked he never got a all defensive award. One all star was surprising but after the top guys it's a popularity contest of sorts. I guess I am looking at his defensive stats and they are not a much as I thought but everyone knows he impacted the game. It's not all about stats. Respect to Kenyon man was a workhorse. He brought it all the time.
When he went from New Jersey to Denver, that ended his chance at an all-star appearance. The west was loaded at power forward.
@@bigred1293True. There were like 7 power forwards all in the West (Z-Bo, Pau Gasol, C Webb, Sheed, Dirk, KG & Duncan). What A Time when you really earned your All Star selection.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keyon Martin
With all due respect with the original lob city comment... he never watched Payton and Kemp
You can have any power forward you want any era to start your team I want K Mart
Please give us an update man
I wish I could see that freshman fight lol
Cade and Duren
George Karl was the weakest link on that squad. Never coached or taught defensive fundamentals to the players who needed it when it would’ve helped that team so much, just some basic team defense fundamentals would’ve made a huge difference. He never took timeouts at the right times, never made proper adjustments, and had no strategy or wisdom for the players when he did call a timeout, usually just ‘rah rah go get em’ type stuff.
He’s listed at 6’9” but he’s more like 6’6”
Why you got Paul George old set up 😂😂😂😂😂
They had it first fam
I remember Tex trying to get eligible the Summer before his Freshman year. He was a genuinely nice guy
Good Interview but you were giggly as heck at his not so funny all-star story lol
Kmart and Iverson were 1st light skin players with tattoos. Kmart especially with red lips 💋on neck. Blood gang member affiliate got them less tv exposure
I thought those lips were TRINAS.lol
Naw real lob city was in Seattle with kemp/payton
Play 2k and watch this
Nummsayin
How he only made 1 all star team
Kno im talm bout
It's nome tolk bot.😂
True story… years ago the nets came to play Milwaukee I had company seat behind the visitors bench .. Being very shy until I got some liquid courage in me after about the 1st quarter K mart defense was terrible that game .. I started talking mad 💩 2 all the Nets.. they were talking back too.. best experience I’ve ever had at a sporting event hands down.. I kept calling Vince Carter T-Mac .. the bench said I should learn basketball before I start talking..Then I pulled out the best line ever.. I told them I’d learn basketball if they agreed that K-mart was playing like trash.. they all started laughing 😂I said hold on you also need to change his name from K-mart to Aldi’s cause he’s trash.. OMG they all started laughing.. long story short TMac I mean Cater got the last laugh put up like 50 and told me to shut my fatass up and gave his shoes to they folks next to me… loved every minute of that night.. fyi the Nets won
😂😂😂
Lol Josiah forgot about gang
KMart will always be the best player to never make an all defensive team.
Had to face shaq then duncan.... wish kenyon got the ring tho
The original lob city??? Bro, do your homework. Gary Payton & Shawn Kemp!
Why dis man in pg Stu
The final year of Kobe and Shaq lost to the Pistons.
The Nets could have won the series if Kenyon doesn't go 5-31 in games five and six.
Original Lob City? Hell Nah..... Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp of the Seattle Sonics was the FIRST ever Lob City! C'mon now...
Off the top of my head better dunkers than k mart
Stromile swift
Jason Richardson
Steve Francis
"A serviceable coach" Give me a break. 🙄
Jason Kidd was hell...
Kenyon was a very replaceable side piece at best....
Kobe cooked him in the ‘09 playoffs
Kenyon Martin not in the Allstars game? DUH!!!!!! There was like 8 to 9 pf's better than him. And the only reason he made the 04 team was because the East had no center and most of the stars were in the West.
Looking back in time, your 100% right.
Z-Bo, Pau Gasol, C Webb, Sheed, Dirk, KG and Duncan were all in the West. Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace and Bosh on the East where he would have had a better chance of making All Star selections.
kmart is one hundred percent wrothy a dpoy
This dude overrates himself. He was ok in the nba. Nobody talks about him as highly as himself. Also, the co-host needs to stop with the fake mean mugging.
AGREED and well said,especially being a number no-1 draft pick ( don't know why tho-LOL ) couldn't even average double figures in points thru out his career. But,I'll give him credit for being a very GOOD one-on-one defender.
No mention of Corey Maggette rag dolling him after Kenyon did a cheat shot foul
