K-Mart is a very good defender. I don't know if he should make the All-defense team, but he could be in there. He can body up, very strong, he can pick you clean, he can block you, he can rebound, he stays on his feet, he's just a very good defender. But that isn't what this play is about, it's about the slam
K-Mart is an incredibly underrated and is one of the best man-to-man defenders in the league. Look at what he did against Elton Brand a fews years ago in the playoffs. He completely took Brand out of the game. Plus, he is quick enough to guard the best players on the floor. Just like he did with Kobe in the playoffs this year.
If you actually watched the games than you would know that Martin did a nice job of containing Kobe. Plus, that wasn't even the point I was making. I was trying to say that Martin is an underrated defender because he can cover big men AND still cover shooting guards. There aren't too many power forwards out there that slide over to defend shooting guards...
I was at both home games in LA if you would consider that actually watching the games.
I'd say Eduardo Najera did a better job on Kobe than anyone else on the nuggets.
But I kinda see what you're saying. It's hard for power forwards to stay in front of guards because of difference in quickness but Martin has both the explosivines and the speed to do so
thats why tayshaun prince and raja bell get more votes for the all defensive team every year??
now marcus camby is one of the leagues best defenders and if kmart was that good maybe the nuggets wouldnt be one of the worst defensive teams and get swept by the lakers in the first round. if you know what i mean
i have nothing against him i like the prowess he plays with but he jason kidd was what made him better
There are a lot of good defenders that don't get votes like James Posey, Gerald Wallace, Kirilenko, even Artest barely got any votes and he as still great.
Camby is great but he isnt a good man-to-man defender. He gets a lot of his blocks off of the weak side. Exactly why he got ripped up in the playoffs by Gasol.
And by the way, what is "bearly getting any votes" mean? Even if you get 1 vote for the all defensive team that mean you're more than a solid defender. I just can't remember last time Kenyon Martin got 1 vote. Just 1
Don't get me wrong Im not a Kenyon Martin hater. Its obvious he has talent but to say hes one of the leagues best defenders is like saying Jason Kidd is one of the leagues best 3point shooters
J.kidd is almost a 40% 3 point shooter....which is above average. & k.mart is a great defender....MJ got more votes then pippen...yet pippen guarded magic in their first finals because jordan couldnt. the votes really dont mean much in the NBA....k.mart is 1 of the only players who can guard a 4 the first half the game then shut down a point guard like tony parker in crunch time(most point guards dont stop parker) to say he couldnt guard kobe is retarded....its KOBE...no one stops him
&& my proof about the votes not saying much....kobe was hands down the best player in the NBA after shaq left....had the best stats of his life....did he get MVP all those yrs til now? no
dude you don't know basketball. just keep your mouth shut next time. k-mart's an underrated defender. can guard 4 positions. he wasn't the number overall pick for no reason.
yeah "underrated" meaning hes a good defender but he doesnt get credit for it. maybe if he said Kmart is an underrated shotblocker that would make more sense. whatever. i dont have anything against KMart hes been a beast since the Cincinnati days. I remember he went for 24points, 23 rebounds and 10 blocks in win over DePaul thats why he was the number 1 pick
he is so explosive

aintallthat youre saying kenyon martins defense had something to do with him being a top pick?
hmmmm... lets so how many times he made the all defensive team since he was drafted?
how about: NONE
ok how bout ALL NBA Defensive second team?
how about: NONE!!!
i guess all the people responsible for the ALL NBA Defensive TEAM voting every year dont know anything about basketball either right?
fukin douchebag
karma187x3 3 years ago
precisely you said none isn't that why aintallthat used the word "underrated".
