All that needs to be said about Kenyon and his NBA record is that New Jersey
went from two consecutive years in the NBA finals to barely making the
playoffs last year, and Denver went from one of the worst teams in NBA
history to division contenders and one of the hottest teams in the NBA last
year.  Kenyon was the reason New Jersey made the finals, and he is the
reason that Denver will be one of the most feared teams in the NBA this
year.  He was the star of those Nets teams regardless of the fact that most
would say that Jason Kidd was the star, and he is the star for the Nuggets
and the reason for their success (despite a very selfish Carmelo Anthony).
The fact that he was not recognized as an All Star probably had more to do
with his reputation and perceived infamy than his actual performance and
achievement on the court.  That will change soon, more than likely this
year.

Ok, I'll bite:

"I spoke to many people in jersey" 

Great these would be the same fans that are happy Vince Carter is there(Who
admits he doesn't try). Traditionally are near the bottom in attendance in
the NBA. C'mon if you want to use this argument than anyone can counter it
with I spoke to <insert name, group, diety here> and he/they say Kenyon is
the best ever.

"KMart will never make the HOF"

Unless you have numbers to back this up I would guess that most number ones
have not made the hall. Also KMart is still early in his career, he could
play till he is 45 set the all time record in something and make the hall.
You, me or anyone else cannot say for sure.

"No wonder JKidd didn't save him in Jersey."

Wow, this must be some top secret inside info because everything I read said
he wanted him there and even the owner of the Nets said that he made a
mistake letting Kenyon go. (I can go back and find the article if you want
to back that up.)


Lastly a bust is Darko. I bet any coach in the league would take Kenyon. He
didn't get a max contract last year because of his college stats and number
one pick status.
