After recently signing a 10-day contract with the New York Knicks, veteran big Kenyon Martin participated in his first Knicks practice yesterday.  Afterwards Martin spoke to the media about changing minds about his attitude and also the state of his conditioning.  



“People have misconceptions about me,” Martin said. “That’s why I’m here, to change those now…...Does it come out wrong sometimes? Yeah, I’m the first to admit my timing and tact is not the best,” he said. “But are my intentions good? Absolutely. But I might have to work on that and learn to keep my mouth shut a little bit.”

“The treadmill is a lot shorter than this court,” he said. “I think I’m in decent shape. But basketball shape and game shape are something that’s totally different. But I’m a vet. Throw me out there and I know when I can get my breaks. I’ve got fresh legs.”
