Nuggets' Martin: I'll talk with Cuban
ESPN.com news services
A day after Mother's Day, Kenyon Martin lobbed a verbal salvo to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban in defense of his own.
Martin, whose mother was verbally confronted by Cuban after Saturday night's game, said he was going to "take care of it" as early as Monday night, as the Nuggets looked to sweep the Mavericks in their second-round playoff series.
"I don't feel I need to call his name in the media and all that, but it's a little personal," Martin said after the Nuggets' shootaround in Dallas, according to a report on The Denver Post's Web site. "And I'm going to take care of it."
The incident, during which Cuban referred to Martin as a "thug" or a "punk," according to an earlier report in The Post, was part of a raucous postgame scene the NBA said it was reviewing.
Cuban told the Denver newspaper by e-mail that as he walked off the court after the Mavericks' Saturday night loss in Dallas, he saw Martin's mother, Lydia Moore, as a fan was yelling that the Nuggets were "thugs."
"That includes your son," Cuban said to Moore, according to his e-mail to The Post.
Martin's agent, Brian , had a different take on the incident, The Post reported. According to , an unprovoked Cuban told Moore, "Your son is a punk."
Neither scenario amused Martin.
"Don't say nothing to my kids or my family," Martin said, according to The Post. "If you got something to say, say it to me. But I'm going to take care of it. I'm not going to do the whole media thing, back and forth. That's his thing. I'm more of a face-to-face type of dude."
"So whenever the opportunity presents itself, then I will address it. But I got a game to go win. At some point I will, but I got a game to go win, first and foremost. So that's my focus and concentration right now."
Asked if he thought the confrontation was Cuban's way of trying to get under the Nuggets' skin, Martin said yes.
"That's what he's trying to do, but it ain't going to work," Martin said, according to the newspaper. "I'm focused on what we need to do as a team. That's what I'm here to do. But if other things present themselves along the way then you got to address them. And this is one of those situations. I don't back away from nobody except the law."
Martin said he had not experienced anything like this during his nine-year career in the NBA.
"Nobody in his position, not at all," Martin said. "But of course, a college game where people in the stands are saying stuff to your family, that's fine and dandy, during the course of the game. But when the game is over, you don't say nothing to nobody's parents; especially mine. My mom or my kids, you don't have no words for them. I'll take care of it."
Not sure if this is already posted, but looks like K-Mart may be thinking of laying the smackdown on Mr. Cuban.
I hope Kenyon does go get in his face just to see what pussy ass Cuban would do...
Mark Cuban's bodyguard would lay the smackdown on K-Mart!
fugazi
I wonder if that got ass lips tattoo on his neck frightens people.
I don't know who is a bigger ...
you are..
LOL 2 es fighting
Seriously tho..somebody talks to my mom...I'd probably do the same damn thing.
hah, Cuban's bodyguard would flat out kick K-Marts ass.
Honestly, I believe Cuban when he says that she had been talking to him before that game.
Well, at least a slapfest between these two es will be more interesting than the 20-point thrashing that the Mavs are about to be subjected to
We're not discussing your bedroom activities, lakaluva.
Mark Cuban is about to get assassinated lol
Why didn't Cuban just say it to Martin!?
That wouldn't surprise me at all.
KMart is understandably mad, but I bet his mom is a .
Throw in JR Smith as well
By the sound of it, Cuban just responded to his mom what the crowd was already chanting! It just shows how classless, childish & immature Cuban is!!
He never once thought to think about how he'd feel if someone told his mom to her face that her son is a thug!
Cuban needs to give an apology before tipoff!
You're telling me that Martin's agent said that Martin's mom did not provoke Cuban?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
maybe they should have a fight to the death?
and the winner gets to jump off a building.
I just saw the clip. I do not know if she had been saying something all game or the game before (but it would have been hard to hear her during the game bc she was sitting by the tunnel), but Cuban just walked by her and she said nothing and he turned around and mouthed off to her.
Don't worry...Nene will blindside him and clear the path for the Wrath of K-Mart!Mark Cuban's bodyguard would lay the smackdown on K-Mart!
Um..it's the NBA...and they try to stir up all the time.
Mom is off limits...period. If Cuban would have said that to my mom I would have gone straight Wyatt Earp on him, just to see if he was man enough to take a swing after being slapped.
