Former NBA standout Kenyon Martin didn’t mince words when expressing his disdain for the recently revealed ESPN Top 150 NBA players list, taking aim at various rankings that he found particularly irksome.
His strongest objections were aimed at the placement of Mavericks’ star Kyrie Irving at the 35th spot and Clippers’ point guard Russell Westbrook at a modest #94.
Martin’s frustration also extended to ESPN’s decision to include two rookies, Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson, in the rankings.
In an emotionally charged outburst on Gil’s Arena, Martin declared, “That list is horsesh*t… Show me 33 people better than Kyrie Irving in the NBA. Start there. Show me f*cking 93 other people better than Russell Westbrook in the NBA.
“You got two people on the list that ain’t played one f*cking NBA minute. How the f*ck are they better than Russ? You f*cking idiots over there doing this bullsh*t.”
