Quote:
During his NBA heyday, Kevin Garnett was notorious for his trash talk. But his longtime rival Kenyon Martin never bought it.

In a new essay he wrote for Basketball News entitled "The Death of the Enforcer: How the NBA Lost its Physicality," Martin wrote that he played against guys who were "physical" and who "really wanted the smoke." He listed Derrick Coleman [...] alongside guys like Zach Randolph, David West, Antonio Davis, Dale Davis, and Kurt Thomas.

[...]

As for his thoughts on Garnett, however, Martin just didn't have the same level of praise, and implied hat he was more of a timid player.

"You can’t turn a porch dog into a guard dog, and there are a lot of poodles in the NBA right now," Martin continued. "There were some guys like that back when I played, too. Kevin Garnett was a porch puppy—a miniature chihuahua in a Dobermann’s body. I told him to his face, 'You’re a porch puppy. All you do is bark.' He never wanted smoke from me. I told him straight up, 'You better take your ass back to your huddle before I get mad.

The worst #1 pick who isn’t considered a bust.

Kenyon is the GOAT of bad neck tattoos ... but he's right about KG.

Lol as good as KG was, it was pretty obvious he was a very fake tough guy.

I still remember when he literally got on all four barking like he was getting ready to film a "Deep Throat" sequel. Still one of the corniest things i've ever seen on a basketball court.

Great player but he was laughably fake at times trying to be a tough guy.

A puppy could score higher than Garnett did on the SAT.
