[@greatness2work818]

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.

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!!!

Kenyon “know-wha-im-sayin” Martin 😂

[@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

[@Airzy_723]

K-Mart got springs and passed on to his off spring, “you know what I’m saying” x1000 😂

[@brianslaughter9067]

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

[@snoopeboiakadlb1856]

This was more than due So happy for Kenyon and all that he has overcome and of course Matt and Stack Jack are killing it All around awesomeness Thanks for this gem guys.

[@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.

[@DragutinKrZr]

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

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

[@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.

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👌👌👌

[@theobrown2237]

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.

[@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.

[@shafiqshabazz2462]

You cannot help but respect this Alpha Male. He is a man and I would love to meet Kenyon good father, family man proud man no nonsense, salute ! ! ! !
