Duncan had Martin in foul trouble every game in that finals. Could not stop him and he was a good defender

Why Gilbert look like the powerfoward now 😂

Kenyon was a damn good player , the type of dude you wanted in the trenches with you

Man it is cool to hear big time players talk about their matchups vs legends. Martin was a damn good player in his prime.

Kenyon Martin was never appreciated as he should for his defense and effort that man was tough!

Tim was too big for that guy. KG was tall but he didn’t have quite the base that Tim had. Tim basically was a damn center.

As a Spurs fan, I know how good Kenyon was. He BATTLED.

K-Mart still playing hardnosed defense... every sentence he speaks, he cuts himself off.

Jason Kidd wasn’t the only reason the nets went back to back finals ..... Martin was that guy

Duncan jumps once, twice, three times, four times defending the basket. While other defenders his height can only jump once or twice. Duncan was extremely fit and athletic in his defense. He can move in many directions so quickly. He was a good passer too.

According to Timmy Kenyon Martin is the best defender he played against

This dude looks the exact same as he did when I last seen him play lol

This man know Kg gave him work!

He was hell at Cincinnati. He balled out in the nba. K.Martin was freakishly long. Great defender

The way he described that match up is what makes the game special and also what's missing in todays brand of basketball. Being a great athlete is different than being a great basketball player and Tim was a great player. When the game is played at that level it's fun to play like Kenyon said but it's fun to watch.

This is 1 of the best basketball podcast the internet has to offer rite now its really for the fans

Tim Duncan hands down the most underrated athlete not just basketball player but athlete to ever exist.

Much respect! Love the break down of Martin praising Duncan’s game. Real recognize real.

Adored Kenyon insight. Really respected his opinion cause he has battled both players. And at one point he was one best defensive players in the league.

K-Mart is one of the most underrated defenders in history.

Kenyon didn’t get hurt in 2000 they were winning the NCAA with cincy. But my Spartans took it home.... I didn’t forget Kenyon.

Kenyon also knew u could out muscle kg and force him into settling for long jumpers. TD was about 30-40 pounds heavier than kg and could not only take the physicality and had more in his bag than kg. Kenyon was one if the very rare players that could literally guard 1-5 at a high level. 1 of the most versatile defenders ever

Rasheed gave them both PROBLEMS.....FACTS.

Early in his career Kenyon Martin use to have a really bad stuttering problem. I don’t know what therapy or medication he took but the improvement is amazing. Another example of what money can do

Kevin Garnett averaged 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 22 games versus Kenyon Martin in his career

K Mart was one of my favorite players back then. Along with AI, KG. Back when it was still a physical, intense, trash talking, fighting (sometimes) era. ‘Hip Hop Runs The World!’ 🔥💪🏾

As a Jersey native I have to salute Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin for reaching those 2 finals with The Nets. I'm actually still pissed off at Byron Scott. The first finals against the Lakers the Nets had no chance, especially with Jason Collins guarding Shaq in the post. But the Nets could've beat the Spurs. The Nets had Dikembe Mutombo on the team, but Byron Scott had a personal issue with him and hardly played him. So instead of putting 7'1 Mutombo who was a known shot blocker and very clumsy on Tim Duncan and keeping him on Duncan until Mutombo fouled out, Byron Scott had Kenyon and 6'9 Aaron Williams guarding Duncan. Duncan was abusing Aaron Williams in the post and Scott still refused to put Mutombo on him. That was one of the most boneheaded coaching decisions that I've ever seen. It also didn't help that Richard Jefferson was ice cold on many important possessions. Salute to Jason Kidd though. That Nets fast break from those 2 finals years was must see tv.

Loved Kenyon Martin. One of the only guys I saw watching the playoffs that would pump up the crowd and then walk by and high five all the nobody’s in the front row. Love this guy in Denver.

Gil gotta bring Kwame onto the podcast now 😂

Loved that nuggets squad with him Melo Iverson jr smith NENE....

He *should* say Duncan after getting a quad-double dropped on his head in the '03 Finals.

K MART was the most dunk focused guy Ever man he wanted to dunk all day everyday

J Kidd and K Mart were my favorite lob city

Him and b Roy were my favorite players growing up

Excellent CONTENT!

FUN Interview g!

What with the Mic/Audio ?

Kenyon was a badd dude!! Blessed with heart and talent.

Your son is a high potential player, great father to have. Respect🤘🏻🙏

Never seen KG try that bully stuff with KMart lol he knew how to pick his battles

Man I miss that era of basketball

I commend you for even guarding either of those guys 👏

As a former player, GREAT INTERVIEW, GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!

Respect to Kenyon. He was tough and hardworking who played center most of the time. I remember the battle between the Spurs and the Nets.

LOL Kenyon was a pretty decent player but both KG and Duncan busted his ass regularly. He is talking as if he was neck and neck with them during the era. Stop

KM was that dude! Respect and salute

Glad to see this mans son playing now & he’s real good to

Much Gratitude

Good ol days

Let’s not forget that in the infamous Quad double game, Duncan also held Kenyon Martin to one of the worst finals games ever, made him shoot 3-23

Truly insightful ish

Kenyon Martin was the truth. Great on both ends of the floor. Terrific player.

Real talk: KG (while a historically great defender) was more of a high-end role player on offense. This became clear in 2008, when Pierce was Boston's alpha dog during their title run.

Why did he fire Rory from the JBP

Drop this asap

kevin garnett averaged 20 pts, 12 reb and 4 assists against kenyon Martin all career long while Martin had 15 pts, 6,7 reb and 1,2 assist :)

Finally some respect for Timmy

Fix the audio before releasing the full version Gil sound like he on the loud speaker 🔊

Great Force ,always ready.

KG torched this man

"Tim Duncan Was Harder To Guard Than Kevin Garnett"......well...Nobody doubted that !

Kenyon Martin is the Joe Budden of the NBA

Kenyon was and is a dope dude !!! Always live and direct !!’

Kenyon was a Dawg he was a light skin KG but Timmy D owned them both with no style but plenty of grace lol

Gotta respect Kenyon for those comments 💯

Greatest era of power forwards. Timmy so underrated. I would take him over some of y'all greatest. He never played with another superstat

when yall gonna drop the full thing?

Tim don't get enough Love, ppl quick to call him greatest PF. Yet in my opinion he's one of the best players all around PERIOD

Martin sounds just like my uncle talking about playing! It's cool how relatable he is

K-Mart & Sheed were 2 of the best defensive big men of that era, who didn't get recognized for their defense, bcuz it didn't show up on the stat sheet.

As a grit and grind era fan of the grizzlies he gave fits to zbo on one series when kmart played with the clipps, aside from timmy, Kenyon made it tough as well for zbo in the paint, not easy to do😎

Gilbert be looking 6’9 on the podcast

I'm so glad the Rockets picked up his son. Dude has been swatting 7 footer's shots to the stands.

KMart definitely underrated as a power forward. Played in the era where he was part of power 4s who dominated. Loved his heart and the how hard he played! 😊 Much Respect!

This was dope

Kenyon looks like a taller version of Joe Budden

And that's why he has five rings to KG's one

NBA 2k5 and 6 vibes from this conversation!😂

I'm amazed at how much some of these guys want to show you how tough they are.

I think KG's on-the-court trash talk got in the heads of these True Tough guys like Kmart and UD... Several yars after he retired, they're still salty about the on court collisions. Guys like Dirk and Duncan faced it too but they knew it was just in-game competitiveness. The tough guys who were ready to fight and risk 73 game suspensions are now exposing how emotionally soft they are to podcasts and reporters

KG is just a rah rah guy, but Timmy is a quiet thinking guy.. NJ nets k-mart was a Beast!!!!

I love K-Mart and the way he played…I always watched him against Timmy and then him and KG and Rasheed and Marcus Camby or when he and Camby were teammates. This dude was great. I wish he played with my Spurs

Shout out to KMart! Great content!

Lowkey obi toppin could be the next k -Mart

Kwame ~ The Most Important People of the Century

Fubo Sports hope y'all fix the acoustics/audio in general before releasing this on Gil's channel! Guess this is what Gil's talking about on All the Smoke about his team.

Very insightful from Martin

and that’s why KMART WAS NOT PART OF THE HOF CLASS🤣🤣🤣🤣

Duncan vs KG like Pac and Big it's only an comparsion in people heads. KG stats don't add up Duncan on no levels

Excellent breakdown K - Mart!

I like this comment section. Y’all making me reminisce about the B-Ball Titans. If they’re in the convo, then they really meant something to us.

Lol it’s make sense Kenyon was an elite athlete Duncan sheer size and crisp fundamentals made it harder

Get Kwame on the pod. Tell em’ to stop being sensitive 😂

kenyon martin was an animal. he is always be one of my favorite players

Asking former players which player was tougher to guard is like asking them which player they respect more. It's not always the truth that come out of their mouths.

Never heard Kenyon talk... has he always sounded like this 😭

What if Kmart never leave NJ?Then they get VC. Jkidd VC RJ KMart Kristic. Legit Contender

Kenyon Martin was part of the original lob city. You Kidd, VC, R Jefferson with Martin. Damn those highlights

The most productive players over the history of this game has been dominant at athleticism, skill, technique. So as one was lost the other was still improving.

Shout out to Bryan Adams high school #slapawhiteboyday
