I've never seen Kenyon this entertaining. It was cool to see things through his perspective. Great energy and humor.

[@MIGGYME1]

This also shows why he wont be a hall of famer or why he didnt make the all star games consistently,poor attitude.You cant treat your coaches like that. George karl didnt specifically say KENYON needs to rebound more,he said WE. I know everybody likes to find humor in these stories and thats fine but if u dig a lil deeper you really get to see which players hampered their teams whether it was on the floor or off of it

[@SidLaw500]

I've been aware of Kenyon since he was in college. It's been common knowledge that he was a hot head and looked at with some disfavor by many, including me. But age tends to soften people, and I sense that is the case with Kenyon. @@MIGGYME1
