Kenyon Martin: Luka Doncic can't guard a camera stand
“Guarantee, you line them up, let them play ones (one-on-one)… You line him up against Kyrie, listen, he might not touch the ball. If you give Kyrie the ball first, Luka won’t touch the ball. Luka can’t guard this goddamn camera stand,” Martin declared.

I’m really excited about Dereck Lively II and his fit with the Dallas Mavericks. The rookie center is going to get sooo many lobs from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. pic.twitter.com/OUzgZHGBuq – 10:11 PM

More on this storyline
Despite the comment, the former New Jersey Nets star admitted that Doncic is great, but his greatness is currently only defined by stats, he said. “Is Luka good? Absolutely. He’s good for his team. That’s the thing with real basketball people – if your numbers don’t equate to something, they’re just numbers, and I look at who you are and what you’re doing. I look at Kyrie, and ‘s**t, give me 11’,” he concluded, citing Kyrie’s jersey number. -via BasketNews / October 23, 2023
NBA Central: Kenyon Martin says ‘real basketball people’ knows that Kyrie Irving is the best player on the Mavericks over Luka Doncic (🎥 @GilsArenaShow / h/t @headhonchospor2) pic.twitter.com/Vw5FgHS9DD -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / October 21, 2023
Recently, Martin has been a regular guest on Underdog’s daily Gil’s Arena show, which is hosted by former NBA All-Star point guard Gilbert Arenas. And when it came to the their discussion of ESPN’s recent rankings of the NBA’s top 100 players, the No. 1 pick of the 2000 draft didn’t hold back. (Language warning.) “What the **** makes them analysts? Or expert analysts at that?” Martin asked. “‘Cause you watch the ****ing game? What the **** makes you an expert on anything because you — nah. I’m glad [Kyrie Irving] said something. Because that list is horse****. ESPN, listen: that list is bull**** man.” -via Awful Announcing / October 20, 2023
