K-Mart: "I'm not a thug"...

The 2009-10 NBA season hasn't even begun, and I think we already have the quote of the year courtesy of Kenyon Martin (in response to his continued feud with Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks)...

“I’ve never sold dope.  I’ve never been to jail. I’ve never been shot at. I’ve never been stabbed. I’ve never shot at nobody. I never got a DUI. Never got caught with a gun. None of that. I never broke into nobody’s house. I used to steal [food] as a kid to get by, Lunchables. I was hungry and I went through it.  But I’m not a thug. A thug shoots people, gets shot, goes to prison and does stuff like that. I’ve never done any of the above. So how am I a thug?”

cuban- the moe howard of the nba

he looks like the leader of the 3 stooges and acts like him too. the way cuban acted and incited his own fans is down right criminal. one comment that melo made was stan kroenke would never act like that. if the denver fans ever did something like that to the families of the mavs players the denver police department would have arrested every last one of them. the pepsi center has a zero tolerance policy in that reguard. chauncey’s father was also harassed at dallas. when you manage to piss off ray billups you have gone way too far. good for kmart for standing up to the charlie manson of nba team owners.

Cuban and Jerry Jones = biggest douchebaggy owners in sports

Jerry Jones decides to waste money on a stupid TV screen that will repeatedly get kicked at during Cowboy’s home games, yet he won’t move it because its view is best in front of the most expensive seats. I also heard that many of the party passers (aka the regular people) don’t even get a real, life, non-TVed view of the game

Cuban just needs to shut his mouth.

Dallas is soft

Cuban is just pissed that he’s had a bloated payroll for years with nothing to show for it except a bunch flopping whiners with no back bone. I’d be pissed too if I dumped so much money on professional athletes that pretend that basketball is a sport best played by the no touchy rule. Dirk I’m sorry your carreer will most likely end in Dallas, the home of the original shit kickers. A bunch of wanna be cowboys in that town.

If you can’t tell I hate all things Texas. With the exception of their high bacon intake diet. Mmmmm Bacon

Good for You Kmart

I can’t wait till Kmart beats down Dirk again this year. Cuban hates Kmart so much because he dominates Dallas’ best player. I’d be pissed too if some stuttering guy with turrets syndrome that commentators around the league say isn’t that good of a basketball player dominated my franchise player. I think if Chris Paul wasn’t such good friends with Billups then we would probably be watching some fued between New Orleans and Kmart too for the way he trashed David West in their series.

Grow up

Kmart needs to start acting like a man instead of a spoiled baby. Spend some of your money on therapy to deal with your anger issues. You are setting a poor example and really sort of embarrassing yourself by hanging onto this angry black man persona of yours. Maybe in about 5 years you will look back on these little tirades and see how silly they are. Was your mom proud of the way you acted and the way you continue to act on and off the court? If so, then that explains why you continue to behave the way you do. Someone needs to grow a set and stand up to you and call you out for your behavior and hold you accountable to change it.

????

How did you pull “angry black man persona” out of the above quote? When I read it I got the impression that he was defending himself from a false accusation. He doesn’t seem angry to me. On the court he is very competitive, but who isn’t? When Dirk gets upset with officials or other players, does he exude the angry white man persona? When Pau gets aggitated with the physical play of opposing centers and forwards does give off the angry European man persona?

K-Mart wants to win and is competitive at what he does. MJ was a gerat competitor that lost his cool more than a few times, even the legendary Larry Bird did. Why? Because that’s what happens in sports. John Mcenroe is the epidome of a competitor. If saw something he didn’t like he reacted. Same goes for Bill Romanowski and the other 750 NFL players. When you want to win you give it all, heart, soul and body. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is or what country you were born in. Don’t pull that card out because NO ONE wants to stoop to that level with you.

So long dclarke33

do not mean to nit pick BUT..........

dirk is the angry european man persona and gasol is the angry hispanic man persona. the angry white man persona is actually the HAPPY black man persona. i hope this clears everything up.

I knew someone would call me out on that.

I was angry multi-ethnic persona typing at the time I posted that. To be fair though Dirk’s accent is barely noticed these days and he does have as much domestic issues as a trailer park tenant. Maybe I should have said Scalabrini AKA Michael Rappaport. And Spainiards consider themselves European and not Hispanic, even though the term is used to refer to those that are Spainish or of Spainish ansestry. Either way I think Chris Rock could make a hilarious stand up routine about this.

what ever you do

never tell an irishman he is english. it can provoke the scottish soccer hooligan persona.

Yeah, your way off here

“angry black man persona” WTF is that?

by GoldenNugget on Sep 29, 2009 9:45 PM MDT up reply actions  

Thank you sir.

Let some scream insults and racial slurs at your mom, sister, girlfriend, or family in general. Berate them for a whole game on some false accusations that some no class owner decided to make and ultimately egged on.

To top it off, Kenyon did say “F*ck Mark Cuban. He’s a bitch for saying what he did. Imma knock his muthaf*fuckin head off”. He said “I’m not a thug.” And explained why. Real angry. Right.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
