Turns out that “Denver Broncos cornerback gets killed” story has a small NBA slant to it – the deceased player was leaving a birthday party for Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin.
As you may or may not know, Kenyon’s knees suck. They’ve both been surgerized, and we’re pretty sure those are multiple surgelicals.
That’s the extent of the connection, and the knees don’t even count – we just needed filler.
Martin and the other attending Nuggets allegedly left before midnight, probably because they’d set up an NFL drive-by shooting and needed to get there on time.
“I was there. He was there. I left. I saw him. That was about the extent of it,” Martin told The Denver Post. “It is what it is. It’s an unfortunate thing.”
“About the extent of it” is the key in this particular case.
“About” meaning, “except for the part where we came back and shot people.”
Sorry to be all brash and accusatory, but we’re essetially new at this again, plus it’s a well-known fact that any borderline All-Star power forwards who once played for the New Jersey Nets have a tendency to kill people.
That’s a Jayson Williams jab, by the way.
So…as of this post, we’re officially caught up, and as you may note, 2007 is all about wildly false accusations and bringing up okay players who retired somewhere between 3-9 years ago. Look out Rex Chapman – we’re coming for you, as soon as we get done with John Starks and Hersey Hawkins.

Welcome back, Cav. Go Pistons!
Welcome back. Go Pistons!
Aw Boney, why you gotta be like that?
B-Ho, I owe The Cavalier (TM)(C) a month of razzing because his beloved fighting Chapsticks lost to the Pistons… He has yet to respond to anything I say.
Go Pistons!
So, a guy gets killed leaving Kenyon’s party and all he has to say is “It is what it is.”
Yeah, Kenyon’s a good guy, a square G.
So, when the Nuggets just release him ’cause he can’t stay healthy, well, “it is what it is” right.
