Dirk Nowitzki: Kenyon Martin Says "I Don't Need Help, I Can Guard Him"

[HacheMan]

Haha...Yeah, we'll see.

Denver may & should win this series, but Dirk will get his.......




Dirk Nowitzki - F - Mavericks

The Nuggets intend to double-team Dirk Nowitzki as little as possible in their second-round matchup with the Mavericks, a plan Kenyon Martin approves of.
"I don’t need help, I can guard him," Martin said on Saturday. "They give you six for a reason...Just make it as tough as possible on every play — holding, grabbing, pushing, whatever you can do." This might not be the same as Erick Dampier vowing to flatten Tony Parker, but you can bet the refs will be keeping a close eye on K-Mart and Dirk throughout this series. May. 3

[Bennyshoe]

[johnboland]

Kenyon Martin has to be in the top 10% of most tattooed players in the NBA.

 

[HacheMan]

I'm not positive, but I believe Denver had a better record this season WITHOUT Kenyon Martin in the lineup......

 

[colbyson]

martin is a big mouth no talent punk

13 points, 6-8 shooting in the first quarter alone. Someone whack martin with a humility stick.

martin is a pretty good one on one defender but not good enough to shut down dirk

13 points, 6-8 shooting in the first quarter alone. Someone whack martin with a humility stick.

Only 2 of those points came when Kenyon was guarding him. If you watched the game, you would know that the Nuggets were switching every pick and roll and Dirk was scoring on different players (Dahntay Jones, Carmelo Anthony, Nene).

lol




Kenyon Martin - F - Nuggets

Kenyon Martin was fined $25,000 on Monday after the NBA upgraded one of his Game 1 fouls on Dirk Nowitzki to a flagrant foul.
Martin knocked Nowitzki to the floor in the first quarter, a play that originally resulted in a technical. It probably didn't help that before the series started he promised to "Hold [Nowitzki], grab him, push him, whatever I can do." May. 4
