The Ballad of Kenyon Martin

Birth to now — the making of a legend, narrated and scored.

Denver Nuggets

Turning pro

Drafted 2000 as a Forward.

true

He came into the league as the number one pick and played every possession like he had something to prove — because, a mile up in Denver, he usually did.

Chapter

At Cincinnati he was the national player of the year until a broken leg on the eve of the tournament nearly cost him everything. He went first overall anyway in 2000, and became exactly what the pick promised: an explosive, snarling defender and rim-rattling dunker.

Chapter

In Denver he made an All-Star team and gave the Nuggets their edge — the enforcer alongside the scorers, all energy and attitude, the kind of player a mountain town loves precisely because he never coasted.
