BEGIN
The NBA is reviewing a postgame confrontation between Mark Cuban and the mother of Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin during which the Dallas Mavericks owner referred to Martin as a "thug" or a "punk," according to a report in The Denver Post.

Cuban told the Denver newspaper by e-mail that as he walked off the court after the Mavericks' Saturday night loss in Dallas, he saw Martin's mother, Lydia Moore, as a fan was yelling that the Nuggets were "thugs."

"That includes your son," Cuban said to Moore, according to his e-mail to The Post.

Martin's agent, Brian Dyke, had a different take on the incident, The Post reported. According to Dyke, an unprovoked Cuban told Moore, "Your son is a punk."

Either way, NBA spokesman Tim Frank told the paper the "situation on the floor postgame is being reviewed."

Fun Stuff. What the NBA should really review is what drug Antoine Wright is taking that putting two hands up in the air in the NOT ME position signifies that you took a foul.

cant say i disagree with puban

HAHAHA, great stuff. Cuban and his Mavs should stay home....This series is over. Sweep that court

Now if Kenyon Martin punches Mark Cuban out then what? Thats someone mom. You dont disrespect mothers. Cuban was wrong. His version doesnt even seem accurate. Kmart mom was yelling [I]"Nuggets are thugs!"[/I]. Huh? Shut up. Cuban was obviously pissed off when the game ended. Even shoved a camera man and you can see him mouthing off to someone off in the stands.

He was right, but you don't say that to the guy's mom. That's pretty disrespectful. I know Cuban is an emotional, passionate owner, but he messed up there.

And for the record, yes, I do think Kenyon Martin is a "punk" and a bit of a "thug", but honestly, his team needs that. You need that to go deep in the playoffs. Just ask the Knicks when they had Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley. You need those guys. Cuban really doesn't have one right now and I'm sure he wouldn't be throwing those words out if someone like that played for his team.

Oakley is never called a thug tho on this site. How is Oakley not a punk nor a thug. But Kmart is. I'm lost. People embrace the days of the Bad Boys. Featuring dirty players. Yet when todays players mimick it they are punks and thugs? Why couldnt they be considered the same things you called Oakley and guys of his caliber back then. Lets keep in mind Oakley couldnt do what he did in todays game. He took would have to have some form of resistence given consequences, punishments.

Just curious.


Sidenote: The things that irked me about Kmart was much like Alonzo. This flexing of the bicep and mean muggin. Kmart would often catch an ally oop then throw punches at the ball as it bounced. Cant stand that. lol

What you said. K-Mart's mom yelling WE THUGS WE THUGS and then Cuban makes a witty comment on it to her. WTF....sounds fishy...

Lol nah it's just a strange sentence

[QUOTE] he [B](cuban)[/B] saw Martin's mother, Lydia Moore, [B] at the same time some random fan [/B]was yelling that the Nuggets were "thugs"[/QUOTE] and that was when he said: "that includes your son"

... I didnt get it either at first..

Gotta show some respect to mothers. :rant I think that was pretty fckn low by Cuban..

So was Martin's mom saying her son's team was playing "dirty" or thugz as in my sons team consists of Tupacs?

Edit: never mind it was another fan who said it. Yeah thats a weird sentence

I'm not a K-Mart fan...but if he smashed Cubans bloated face for that I'd consider it wholly justified. There are lines you don't cross...Cuban's pansy tantrum crossed one of the biggest ones.

:roll: Damn good catch.

I would tear Cuban up. He think he is the ish when all he is, is a buff nerd.

Stay classy Cuban! :applause:

Still can't believe he wasn't fined for shoving the cameraman.

Cuban should get fined for pushing the cameraman doing his tirade.

I just thought the whole thing was a lot of fake anger on Dallas's part, because honestly, i would be pissed at Antoine Wright cause he went out of his way to make it look like he DID NOT FOUL (he also didn't tell the refs the team planned to foul, no one did) and then they got all upset, and then after the game all the hysterical bull**** they pulled, it was ridiculous.

But whether or not he is called a thug or a punk doesn't change the fact that he was. And so were guys like Rick Mahorn. And when I say "thug", I don't mean in the literal, street sense. He's not stealing old ladies' purses or robbing liquor stores. I mean on the court. But like I said, there's nothing wrong with that. That's his role. He plays exactly the way I'd want him to play if he were on my team.

Ok that makes sense.

You come out of your hole when Hou ties it up? j/k lol

Nah, they're still going to lose. I hope they don't, but I know better.

real classy cuban!

That's pathetic, Cuban.. Like Gobb said, you need some guys with attitude like KMart to get anywhere in the playoffs. The Mavs really could use some "thugs" on their roster.

Damn Cuban… I've always been a fan of him but going a bit too far here… Leave Kenyon's mom out of it.

In other things, I cannot group K-Mart in the same class of guys like Mahorn, Oakley, Mason, X-man… they were some real ruff necks. K-mart is a different generation of "tough guy" but not a ruff neck like the olden days… Guys like Oak and Mahorn were enforcers.

I think K-mart get some of his "thug" label from being insubordinate… clashing with Karl and authority… :confusedshrug:

[QUOTE=Sonic R]Damn Cuban

[QUOTE=Sonic R]In other things, I cannot group K-Mart in the same class of guys like Mahorn, Oakley, Mason, X-man

[QUOTE=StroShow4]I still don't understand why KMart is labeled by many as a "fake thug" whereas these other guys are considered real enforcers. What makes Kenyon fake and these other dudes real?[/QUOTE]Well, for one, Charles Oakely has been arrested on multiple occasions. Once for refusing to put on a shirt while dancing in a Miami night club.:oldlol:

I wouldn't really call Rick Mahorn a thug. He was more a bully-type. Anthony Mason got into some legal trouble, too. I'd group him in with Oakley.

I can't think off hand of anything Martin's gotten into off the court. I wouldn't call the guy a "fake thug". I think it's just that players in the league aren't as hard as those guys of the late 80s/early 90s were. A lot of that societal and such.

[QUOTE=fatboy11]Well, you are right. Kenyon is a bit more skilled than those players (save for X-Man and maybe Mason). Guys like Oakley and Mahorn were out there specifically to be enforcers and be rough, and I don't think K-Mart is has that type of a role. You really can't have that Oakley/Mahorn-type in the NBA anymore, like GOBB said. Why else does Danny Fortson not have a job? :confusedshrug: The NBA phased his type out with the way the game is officiated now.

Those guys would smack K-Mart around, in my opinion. But players like K-Mart or Kendrick Perkins are about as close as you'll get to an "enforcer" these days.[/QUOTE]

For sure.
The pussification of the league essentially phased out the old ruff necks.
Guys like K-mart and Perkins are the new generation of enforcers.

Danny Fortson shoutout. Man i forgot all about dude.

I never called K-mart a "fake thug"

not surprised, cuban just being himself.

Oak is just a bad mother ****er. Oak would not look to fight some one weak or small he would go after the biggest badest mother on the court and kick their ass. Oak was the man. K-Mart is a wantabe and Cuban is a straight up punk ***** for going to the guys mother. Personally I would kick his ass and if K-Mart truly was a thug he would too.

P.S. whats up GOBB been a while.

I will have to agrew with everyone. It seemed Oak was cut from a different cloth. :oldlol:

Whats up iceman. Been awhile indeed. What do you think about your team this season and any changes/wants next season besides being healthy of course.

[QUOTE=StroShow4]Nope, I guess you didn't. But I have seen alot of posters here say things like that about him.[/QUOTE]

Exhibit A:

Wantabe = Wannabe/Fugazy/Wankster/Poser/Etc. :lol



Basically someone who desires/pretends to be something that they are not.

Oh, thought he made it up. Sounds corny.:oldlol:

Kmart said he will approach Cuban personally. Said he will meet him face to face and that its personal. Uh oh

[QUOTE]"Don't say nothing to my kids or my family," Martin said, according to The Post. "If you got something to say, say it to me. But I'm going to take care of it. I'm not going to do the whole media thing, back and forth. That's his thing. I'm more of a face-to-face type of dude."

But when the game is over, you don't say nothing to nobody's parents; especially mine. My mom or my kids, you don't have no words for them. I'll take care of it."[/QUOTE]

Cuban just crapped his pants.:roll:

Well Cuban was extremely out of line. Wtf was he thinking when he said that to his mother?
