Kenyon Martin talks Celtics

Veteran F Kenyon Martin has been huge for the Knicks since signing with the team after the NBA All-Star break.  The Celtics and the Heat were two other franchises courting Martin and yesterday evening after the Knicks defeated the Celtics, Martin spoke about his not signing with the Celtics being their fault.

“It’s their fault; they lost,” Martin said. “There was talks, there was negotiations, they chose not to do it. It was out of my control. I’m a Knick now, so they lost. I’m just here to prove I never lost it. I guess I’m a better person than I am a basketball player.

“But the chip I’ve always played with hasn’t gotten bigger. I’m here to prove what I can do; that’s against everybody, every night. It doesn’t start with the Celtics. It’s whoever puts on that uniform opposite us.”
