Kenyon Martin

I just watched Jazz/Nuggets game 5. My favorite player in the NBA is Kenyon Martin, and he did everything I love tonight. He is a tremendous interior defender. Carlos Boozer scored 25 points in 42 minutes. He was very inefficient and was often forced to pass the ball out. Kenyon was the perfect blend of heart, hustle, and talent tonight. Next time you watch Kenyon look for his signature defensive move in the post. He raises one arm up, while checking his man with the other and essentially creates a wall. The player will try to work his way out of it, but Kenyon's hand and foot speed is just too quick. I enjoy watching Luis Scola struggle with this every time the Nuggets play the Rockets.
