Kenyon Martin Reveals his Deep Hate for Chris Paul 

“He’s a politician, and people don’t like politicians” Couldn’t have said it better

Colin has trouble understanding because he’s also that same guy that Chris Paul is

“Deep hate” was an exaggeration. He simply didn’t like nor trust him.

Nobody is going to see this, but Kenyon is making a great point here regarding assists. We always like to call players who average a high number of assists "unselfish", but the player getting the assists gets credit for the assists in terms of accolades and salary.

I still watch this in 2023 and K Mart still has a Point! AND ITS STILL PROVEN!💯💯

Kenyon Martin a real one for saying "I'm in about winning. I'm never been in to how many point or whatever to tell me things did we win or not. I don't need numbers or no plus/minus to tell me if I played well or not" that's some real ass shit and someone that you want to be on a team with

If Kenyon wasn’t interrupted after every sentence, this interview could have been great. There is a difference between navigating the conversation and then pushing a narrative. Just shut up and let your guest speak his piece.

these hosts think their opinions hold more weight than players

Basically, the locker room snitch and front office stooge.

Finally! Someone from the NBA who speaks on his faults. If you dont watch the games, you think he is the greatest PG of all-time. Watch him, hes great! But, there this something to the game that he doesnt do. What my coach said, "you gotta pass the ball with love". You got to want your teammate to do good! CP just seems he wants it his way, and then when it matters, he needs help big time

This is the best take on how you need to work together with those with experience and combine analytics. A lot of people are too focused on one or the other

I wouldn’t trust Chris Paul either

"LEBRON COULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN SPORTS" 5yrs later that hits different

Wow I remember I watch this live it seems like it was last year but it was 2018 time flys

colin isnt an analytics guy anymore lmfao this guy changes every week

Fans dont like Chris Paul. We cheer everytime he gets bounced from the payoffs. It seems like the analysis are the only ones that give him respect like that. Dirty player

K Mart should be on radio or TV as an analyst

I like K-Mart when he's not angry.

Man he made a great point about having the conversation

Great conversation, nature (eye ball) vs nurture (analytics)

Not sure you can trust Kenyon's analytics after hearing the following (paraphrased): Kenyon: I'm an eye test type of guy Colin: I'm 75/25 analytics vs eye test. what about you? Kenyon: I'm 50/50

He’s not the only one. A lot of players expressed their frustration with cp3

*“The Greatest Player To Never Win A Ring”* is an extremely under-shadowed achievement, just ask Chuck

I feel him we been saying this for 25 years

Never seen this but great job K Mart...what gets lost in a lot of this is I wanna hear from the someone who played....then if you are successful it's a bonus....K Mart is literally the perfect person to talk to

I lost respect for CP when he denied Curry access to the gym to get up shots before a close-out game between GS and Houston in the WCF. Curry ended up taking over the game and the Dubs ended up going to the Finals.

ridiculous to use the term "Deep Hate" - Kenyon was not disrespectful and just answered questions. They should go back and change the title.

This title is so misleading, he NEVER says HE dislikes Paul, he consistently states Paul was not popular by the "other 14"

Chris Paul is doing better in the latter part of his career because hes not being asked to be the number one guy and a 20 and 10 player. With the Thunder and Suns, it's more than him being part of a "Big 2" like he was in his prime. The Thunder stint was as impressive as his Clippers years and he's flourishing with the Suns because he's with talents like Booker and Ayton, not to mention other players who can finish plays.

Kmart best voice in the bizz

It’s crazy this is 5 years ago and CP3 is still playing

Kenyon brings up a great point that’s missed with high assist players. Some of them only give up the ball when they think they can get credit for the assist. They don’t allow players to cook in isolation and don’t allow the ball to swing around to the best available shot. They hog the ball until they can get credit. Eg. Triple double Westbrook

Kenyon: "I'm more eye-test than analytics. I'm 50/50." Yeah, definitely more eye-test...

Dennis Rodman…. Enough on analyzing players…20 rebounds 5 points….. couldn’t have done it without his contributions….

I’m still waiting to see the “deep hate” The titles on RU-vid are a stretch.

Chris Paul definitely has a Napoleon complex. He’s tiny and it shows in the playoffs defensively he gets exposed. For years he would create the most ridiculous flopping fouls especially just stop running with a defender right behind him on the break and they both fall down automatic call. Also he would not grab the ball out of another guy’s hands after the play was dead but truly snatch it. Just a lame move. But he’s had a very good regular season career and a couple of decent post season series recently. You have to give him that.

Colin Cowherd has never played basketball, thinks it should be 75/25... LOL . You do know you can't just simulate the game like a 2k season and have the team with best averages win. That's not how it works and that's why he's a talk show host and not a coach.

Does anyone remember Colin Herd before he became a caricature of a 1950s baseball radio announcer? (Me either)

I’m sorry, the eye test will always be better than the analytics

K-MART IS SPOT ON !!!!!!

Cowherd is clueless about 🏀 every time he has a guest that knows 🏀 he embarrasses himself. Colin should stick to 🏈

Collin doesn’t belong in the same wrong with a legitimate NBA player like Martin.

he wants to try and be a Commissioner of the NBA or he’s trying to meet and greet an be kind to as many coaches and front offices so he could be a head coach or try to own a team.

Play the game to win first then study the analytics after. Don't go into the game thinking "I need 12 assist win or lose then coach won't be on my ass"

I don't know why but I could listen to this guy all day. Coolest voice and brutally honest.

Same kinda stuff pat bev said

possible Hall of Famers Kenyon played with. kidd, mourning, iverson, giannis(for 11 games) chris paul, carmelo, rasheed wallace(?)amare stoudamire(?) chauncey billups (?)

If you've never played in an NBA game, shut up. Who cares if you're an analytics guy. A former player is trying to educate you.

Curry looked fantastic in game 7 against Dallas .Really stepped up like a true superstar .

Kenyon seems locked in a box(mindset) and a bit jealous. This is likely why his career didn't go better. He shouldn't talk "championships" and "winning"... because he really never did.

People hate what they don't understand. Most players are short sighted and don't know how to build bridges to furure their careers.

Lebron does the same thing lol. He plays for stats and forces franchises to put elite players around him who can create their own shot off the dribble to bail him out when the statpadding isnt winning them games. Then when they win, Lebron gets the credit because the media is stupid and they worship statlines instead of actual on court play.

Check the analytics on CP choking in the playoffs....

I’ve always heard he’s sneaky.

Chris Paul is better than a lot of players and he lets them know in their face he’s also the captain of the players association so he speaks for the players in those meetings they don’t like that and he does it on purpose because who tf are y’all to tell me what to do when I’m better than you and you’re on drugs which was most likely the case Chris Paul was telling on players doing dirt

Analytics….. It’s the gambling curve now!! Plus .. minus…. Kenyon said that!!!!💪💪💪💪

Thanks KM!!! Numbers don’t mean shit!!!! Did you win or loose? Numbers have destroyed the league. It has put less talented people in power positions when it’s not really deserved! KM, lived your game since Cincinnati!!!

Arguably Chris Paul, will have an afterlife as a player in the front office as a GM/ Front Office guy. His career after playing will be similar to Isaiah Thomas was before all the allegations of harassment and so on.

15 years wow

The point guard in Basketball is that of a quarterback in football. You can't get have an opportunity to score without them passing you the ball

But yall got him as the head of the union. Do yo thing Paul ur great

Patt Bev

So Chris, Paul was treating his teammates Like most men treat The women that they are in relationship with

Sounds like hes describing lebron with the assist stuff...

If you watched the Kmart knuckle head podcast this popped up

These analytical nerds put such s big emphasis on +/- lol. So if im on the floor carrying my team scoring, rebounding, defending but my 4 teammates cant make a shot, giving up easy baskets and my +/- is -14 but is in no way indicitive how ive performed individually despite my teammates being failures. K-Mart is correct.

Why are they trying to make it seems like a analytical guy is on the damn basketball court his self playing? Analytics is nothing new, it was always part of a coaches decisions, without having a word for it! It was basically more organic back then and was called a coaches instinct, from a players fg percentage or free throws at certain times of the game, or certain area’s a player may shoot from with a better fg percentage, or a shot taking with a certain defensive player defending the shot, or more simply put Jordan will either make the shot, or pass it to Paxson or a Steve Kerr type shooter, who has a good fg percentage from the 3 point line, than Jordan shooting a well defended two point shot, out of a double team! He didn’t pass it to Scottie for that last second shot, he knew he just needed a sharp shooter on his team! That’s called common sense” and without a analytical guy to tell him to past that game winner or game tying shot! Back then it was called, Jordan needing a sharp shooter like Paxson or Steve Kerr! Lol , Common sense didn’t need analytics to tell him, not to let Dennis Rodman take the last shot!

I’m a eye test dude, always have been also will be. I respect and value anyatics to a degree however anyatics don’t measure intangibles. Intangibles separates good from great and average, intangibles what’s inside of a player heart and soul

People fail to realize assist can be ball hog because u need the ball in your hands like James harden he gets assists because he hog the ball not in the flow KD 6 assist is in the flow harden 12 assist is basically forced

i got an analytic killer.. by numbers kobe is considered one of the most inefficient shooter.... case closed, cuz he's top 3 greatest of all time

Jason Kidd was a far better PG than Paul.

He's a parking cone! Go right around him no problem. No ring either damn Cliff Paul

Analytics just tells me your heart is not in it .

Kid Cudi's older bro!!

Its crazy how yall taking sides in something that got nothing to do wit y'all

Chris Paul can play but he can’t win when it matters That Phoenix Milwaukee series shows you why

Like listening to someone's drunk uncle.

These comments didn’t age well

Kenyan knows basketball

I disagree w/ what he said about +/-. If you feel like you played good but while you were on the floor we were outscored by 15 we have a different meaning of good 😆

Sounds like basically if you from my hood but you go to private school we cool but we ain’t cool or o your dad a cop we can’t trust him

If analytics was so important, it will be able to figure out, what player ass will lock up in the last few seconds of a 1 point lead in game for the championship! So coaches will know I can’t even think about having this player on the court! Lol, PS, What did Analytics say about Bruce brown being thekey player, after jokic and Murray to help Denver get over the hump to beat the Lakers, and the Miami heat! Especially the lakers never planned for him to be that successful, Nor did it account for the joker to hit about five last second buzzer beaters!!!! And Murray hitting about three, Without those hell Murray’s, no pond intended! That lakers series, with a split in the first four, could have had a totally different outcome!

He sounds like Skip Bayless

It's crazy how difficult it is for him to understand why analytics aren't everything. In fact, it can be argued that only a high IQ basketball player can actually interpret the data. Everyone who only looks at analytics will just say "bigger number means better."

It’s just business.

He’s a g

If Kmart hadn’t broken his leg....

Everyone was rooting for CP3, up 2-0 against the Bucks in the finals, and then the real CP3 didn’t show up again.

Willie Lynch

Its contradictory for you to say "Blake made a lot of money coz of CP3" - implying he made Blake better, then turn around and say: "some people think he is just there to get an assist, that makes him selfish"?

What does CP3 have to do with this?

Imagine thinking you know a sport cause you look at the stat sheet every night without watching the actual game...

I can Agnatically see You can’t Shoot😂

Kmart on Chris Paul makes no sense to me.. smh

A point guard being selfish for passing the ball and getting assist? That’s wild this man said he wasn’t letting dudes do there thing. If it’s that serious why not just hold the ball and “do your thing” then score so his assist won’t count? Or just don’t pass him the ball at all so he can create anything for his team? Oh because he would leave y’all wide open and that wouldn’t make any sense? I’m just curious

Paul was one of the few true points guards left in the NBA when the shoot first, bigger point guard style emerged. He's like Jay-Z after Pac & Big were killed; the best by default. If we're talkin' NBA analytics CP3 is a loser.

Martin always playing that tough guy bs. He should have played with Larry " mr mean " Smith and Xavier " X-man " McDaniels and I guarantee you he wouldn't have gotten tough with them.

Colin is making me crazy in this segment. He is very beligerent on this topic. He talking to a guy on the inside and its like he wont believe what hes saying about CP

deep hate is a huge stretch

This title was a lie
