I met this guy my sophomore year in high school. I had transferred to Bryan adams and literally hated the school. I had Kenyon in my computer class and he was literally one of only 2 guys I talked to in class . Coolest cat ever man , always was humble , never carried himself like he was better than anybody, and he was the star basketball player.

Seems like this episode should've happened years ago! K-mart, Stack, and Matt this could be a weekly podcast in itself!

[@ruminantmelanoid5444]

FACTS!!💯

[@RickyMoss]

I think he should be like a 3rd host on this show. He fit with Stack and Matt Barnes..

[@TheNYKilla]

Oak Cliff legend Cincinnati legend This man came a long way! I watched him since college. He could not talk on camera that well back in the day. His game spoke for him. Now he speaks very well. Yea he says “you know what I’m saying” a lot. It’s a crutch phrase for him. Solid dude solid parent!!!

[@Taymerakami]

This one was good , had my crying the whole time 😂, Stack said man somebody on yo team getting shot , that’s cheating 😂😂😂😂

[@aarranmendoza6733]

The silence when Bill Burr was suggested lmao Bill is wayyyy too funny though!

[@MrJustind886]

Kmart was a beast especially in college felt bad when he broke his leg at Cincinnati. I really thought they were going to win the National Championship tha year. Always respected his game all heart and didn't care who he was playing. Glad he's good that story about Kendall Gill trying to take Stak shoes he stepped in and wasn't hearing it. Much respect to him. Definitely a real one. Another 🔥🔥🔥 interview fellas.

[@chetreid77]

Bob Huggins/Cincinnati had some MONSTERS back then... when they were in the early years of the Conference USA

[@TheMurph20]

I agree that squad was nuts.....all athletes.....coach Bob Huggins always had all athletes and then 1 or2 shooters....Kenny Satterfield, I remeber specically one of the first with the headband.....him KMART and Danny Fortson over a few year span had Cindy killin em at the time

[@DragutinKrZr]

I love KMart! My favorite duo with him and Jason Kid, they were tearing the league up!

[@SabiosNelligan]

Fucking Kidd let him go after what they built, not impressed

[@missayawk]

And RJ.KMart and RJ owe JKidd money he hooked them boys up with oops

[@brianslaughter9067]

I met K-Mart in Louisville, KY when they played the Cincinnati Bearcats. Great basketball player and a humble dude. Great interview.

[@syddevera4267]

his signature dunk will always be my best dunk on 2k 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeromeashley9972]

The pick n roll on either live or 2k with Jason kidd and the slam with it couldn't be stopped

[@SabiosNelligan]

In real life also

[@StuTheSoftwareAnalyst]

Man when KMart broke his leg the entire city of Cincinnati let out a collective sob... We knew we were going to win it all. Best team in the country. But we couldnt do it without our best player. People in Cincy will still mention that as our biggest sports heartbreak.. the whole city still worships Kmart, Huggins and that entire UC era. Glad to see Kenyon and that he's doing well.

[@1027srich]

Facts!!!... I was in middle school at the time and our principal announced KMart's injury to the entire school over the intercom and we were all sick about that because we could've won the whole thing... Kenyon was literally the Shaquille O'Neal of college basketball that year!!!... I'm STILL sick about that 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ajpeake9817]

Bruh I'm 38 so I remember everything from Kmart and I'm from Youngstown Ohio... It wasn't jus Cincy who was heartbroken...it was all of Ohio. Kmart is in "My" starting 5.

[@Darth_Ball]

Kenyon “know-wha-im-sayin” Martin 😂

[@brandondacus5919]

Maaaaaannnnn I'm so happy to see Kenyon on here. That was my guy when he played for Cincy him and Patterson. He would smash on EVERYBODY go back and look at his highlights. That's how we played back then. Much love to Kenyon. Please go back and see his highlights. He was on one and then some.

[@pinbarbecue1100]

Those early 00' Nets was a beast back then with J.Kidd throwing alley-oop to K-Mart and RJ. They never had a good Center and was held back for years.. Glad J.Kidd got his ring tho👌👌👌

[@T-time215]

Good point. Always with shooters but you're right. Just a decent center would have really helped them. They were always guard and forward heavy.

[@geminibowser1921]

My homie that I played high school ball with was super Kool with K-Mart. Monroe, could wait to tell me about the practices at Cincinnati. I love hearing the stories. Kenyon, was Monroe's, guy! I love the show, you guys stand for something...

[@rigobertojack9500]

Bearcats Martin was nice and that Malone story 😂😂

[@MoneyMayle1]

Nothing but respect for this man. I'm from Detroit but was living in Cinncy when he went down as a Bearcat. I'll never forget all 8 of us huddled around the TV hoping he would get up. You could hear a pin drop in the room. The one thing I'm not really understanding is how the only mention we get of the Pistons were the 80s bad boys when the 2000's Pistons took the Eastern conference by storm and that Lakers team they spent so long praising! He gives Chauncey props in Denver but this team dethroned both Jersey and Indiana when they were battling for the East back then. Maybe they're still sour grapes, but everyone who's old enough knows the real.

[@rjoiner74]

stak was like Bill Blurr ?who the hell is that 😂

[@Shakur92s]

The Naaah Aaah Mmmh No Sir at 36:52 had me dying. K.mart's a Savage bruh 😅.

[@lsjoe9881]

Detroit got love for Big K Mart

[@BubbubTopps]

I remember when K. Mart got drafted and he cried, so I cried watching him cry 😂.....True story I could feel his pain and joy at the same time, not knowing his exact circumstances but knowing the pain of always being a target/suspect in society. He was a raw dunker/rebounder/shot blocker and a relentless worker at Bryan Adams high school. I never thought he would be a pro though. And bro grew up in the Southern sector of Dallas so anybody who knows knows tha South is serious. Hand clap for K. Mart taking the long road and being honest about it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@clarenceandersoniii9306]

Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks K-Mart for allowing us to see the world from your vantage point.

[@BlackConnection337]

Shout out to Kenyan for having Zeek get back😅 Carl was wrong for that

[@reginaldspurlock3910]

Hurt MY HEART when K Mart got hurt in that conference tournament. I wanted them to win the NCAA Title that year so bad.

[@darrylpeeks6456]

S***** Factor by the injury it gets St Louis did you know that was Jason Tatum's daddy tripped him and broke his ankle go look at the tape Jason Tatum of the Celtics dad played for St Louis and was the one who tripped Kmart

[@truthspoken9456]

I met Kmart in Dallas during the first Big3 season. Watched Adrien Broner fight with him and hung out that night wit dude. An absolutely humble cat!! Really appreciated dude. Real cat!

[@tonywong8134]

I remember the Bobcats got the #2 seed due to Martin's injury when they were the sure #1 seed. The injury impacted their seeding more than the last loss since Martin's injury.

[@LILGILMOEATS]

I went to UNC Charlotte. We were in Conference USA back then and had a decent team. Cincinnati were the too dogs when when they came to campus it was a big event. Kenyon Martin was such a dominant player. Absolute beast. If he didn’t get hurt I think they would have won the NCAA tournament. They were the best team that year in 2000
