Kenyon Martin was retaliated against by Kendra Randle, the wife of New York Knicks star Julius Randle, after the former NBA forward thought it strange that Randle would celebrate a victory with her before his teammates.
In a string of tweets, she attacked Martin and cited the events that resulted in his suspension from the Denver Nuggets during the 2006 postseason:
Speaking on Gilbert Arenas’ Gil’s Arena programme (as reported by Frankie Taddeo of Sports Illustrated), Martin expressed that seeing Randle approach Kendra on the field on Wednesday following the Knicks’ decisive Game 5 victory over the Miami Heat “bothered” him.
“We just got done playing a hard-fought game in a playoff series and the first thing [Randle does] is go kiss his wife?!” he exclaimed. “You do that as your first action? What state of mind are you in? After the game, that was, like, the first thing he did, dawg.”
In Game 5, Randle finished with a scorching 24 points, five rebounds, and five assists to help New York save the season. Ultimately, the team lost on Friday, ending the season.
Since August 2017, as Julius was starting his fourth NBA season, the Randles have been wed.
