Cody said that I've been saying it.
SwipaHOST
He's like Kenyon Martin to me.
SwipaHOST
Trevor Brazil is.
SwipaHOST
Kenneth Farid as well.
Mike DunlapGUEST
And so my point is that that was point number two.
Mike DunlapGUEST
And number three is I wanted to see how to work with someone like Iverson or Carmelo or Kenyon Martin or whatever And I say work with delicately because you're dealing with grown men that have had the best coaches before you said anything to them.
Mike DunlapGUEST
And so for me to walk on thin ice again and put myself in a position of listening and no longer saying, hey, this is what we want in the practice plan or whatever.
Mike DunlapGUEST
Or that, you know, whatever give and take.

And that might have been a good plan if he hadn't joined the worst possible crowd in the league.
speaker_0NARRATOR
His teammates were Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, and Kenyon Martin, all known for their lack of respect for authority and spending time in clubs instead of going to morning shoot-arounds.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The videos of Nuggets players partying until early morning and getting into street fights began surfacing on the internet almost every week.
speaker_0NARRATOR
And even though he averaged 13 points per game and was one of the best three-point shooters in the league, Smith's first season in Denver will only be remembered by incidents.
Jeff SundayHOST
Harris, Lucius Harris,
SteakHOST
Kenyon Martin, Kenyon Martin.
SteakHOST
Um, who's the center that ended up doing something weird? Jason.
SteakHOST
Oh yeah.
SteakHOST
Weird.
SteakHOST
All right.
SteakHOST
Um, Where did Kenyon Martin go to college? Cincinnati.
SteakHOST
Kenyon Martin was one of the best in-game dunkers ever.
Dan HoardHOST
Bob Huggins is the winningest coach in Cincinnati Bearcats history and took the team to 14 straight trips to the NCAA tournament, including a Final Four appearance in 1992.
Dan HoardHOST
If Kenyon Martin hadn't broken his leg when UC was ranked number one in the country just before March Madness in 2000, there's little doubt in my mind that Huggins would have won a national championship.
Dan HoardHOST
His Cincinnati tenure ended with a lot of bitterness on both sides.
Dan HoardHOST
Thankfully, those hard feelings have faded.
Dan HoardHOST
And last Friday night, it was my honor to help induct Coach Huggs into the UC Hall of Fame.
Dan HoardHOST
Many of his greatest players, like Kenyon Martin, Nick Van Exel, and Steve Logan, were there for the celebration.
Dan HoardHOST
And the genuine love that his former players have for him is unmistakable.
Dan HoardHOST
Together, they made Cincinnati basketball the most intimidating program in the country during the Huggins era.
Bill KochGUEST
You think you're playing harder.
Bill KochGUEST
but he stuck it out and like he tried to quit i know terry nelson tried to quit uh but uh you know kenyon martin did quit he went back to texas during christmas break and hugs had to go get him bring him back and now kenyon martin will say i didn't go to the university of cincinnati i went to the university of bob huggins
Casey SloanHOST
yeah
Bill KochGUEST
that's what i mean yeah it's amazing the allegiance they have to that guy
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
He has no chance to be successful if they're going to try to play him like Tracy McGrady or Paul George.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
They have to use him like Amari Stoudemire or Sean Kemp or Kenyon Martin because that's how he was playing at North Carolina.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
And then he actually had some passing ability compared to those guys.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
Compared to those guys, he could make some reads when they were diagrammed, and he could have some success.
Jake BockovenHOST
But Bob Huggins, a certainly controversial coach, but was a lot of fun to watch, especially those Cincinnati teams.
Jake BockovenHOST
You know, you think back to Kenyon Martin and that group.
Jake BockovenHOST
And then his run at Kansas State was, well, I shouldn't call it a run.
Jake BockovenHOST
It was one year at Kansas State.
Jared CalhounSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's a lot of former players.
Jared CalhounSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These great programs have so many great players that build it, right? And the Corey Blunts, the Nick Van Axel, the Kenyon Martins, the Danny Fortson.
Jared CalhounSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think when you win, it brings those guys back.
Jared CalhounSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It brings more eyes on the Bearcats.
Jack EblingHOST
And it was really, really, really good.
Jack EblingHOST
But if Cincinnati doesn't have that broken leg to Kenyon Martin, then Michigan State is not the number one seed in the Midwest and go through the tournament without having to get on an airplane.
Jim StarkGUEST
You know, so much of it's good fortune.
Jim StarkGUEST
I mean, you can't bank on it, but you've got to have it.
