The way Kenyon Martin has been playing for the Knicks, it makes you wonder why it took him so long to find a team. Since becoming a member of the Knicks, he hasn’t really shown that much rust. In fact, he looks very fresh. He must be a bigger locker-room headache than the public are aware of, because nothing else would make sense.
Apparently, Kenyon was in talks with the Boston Celtics prior to becoming a member of the Knicks. For one reason or another, Boston decided to pass and Kenyon didn’t forget that. Following last night’s win vs. Boston, Kenyon had a few choice words for the Celtics:
“It’s their fault,” he said following the Knicks 100-85 win. “They lost. There was talks, there was negotiations, they chose not to do it. It was out of my control. I’m a Knick now, so they lost.”
There may be a little more to the loss than whether or not they signed Kenyon Martin, but you get his drift…
