Kenyon Martin: “George Karl is a coward”

Kenyon Martin became the latest player to go after George Karl. In a book released Wednesday, Karl wrote specifically of Martin and Carmelo Anthony.

“Kenyon and Carmelo carried two big burdens: All that money and no father to show them how to act like a man,” he wrote.

In addition to smoking pot shots levied at Martin and Anthony, Karl also took J.R. Smith to task for supposedly having a “huge sense of entitlement” among other unsavory claims.

Karl has a penchant for wearing out his welcome and drawing the ire of players. The most recent example played out in Sacramento, where the 65-year-old got on the wrong side of DeMarcus Cousins.

The discontent among former players runs so deep there’s even a code – that of being a snake in the grass – specifically cited whenever Karl’s name arises for the wrong reasons.

Kenyon Martin decided to fire back at Coach Karl on Twitter.

The Nerve of an AWFUL AND COWARD ASS COACH. More to come

I didn't have a father going up. We all know that. What's George Karl excuse for being a terrible person

Everyone that's played for that awful person and coach can't stand the ground he walks on

Having a lot of wins doesn't make you a good coach. He was blessed with great talent

Since we were so bad as players. Tell him to forfeit those Denver wins

George Karl is selfish,unhappy,missable,,cowardly person. No wonder he's be fired every place he has coached

The book he is writing is full of lies and deceit. By far the worst coach that ever played for
