George Karl described Kenyon Martin as a fatherless spoiled brat in his
upcoming book, so the retired NBA forward fired back Thursday evening,
calling his former coach awful, terrible and a coward.

"I didn't have a father (growing) up. We all know that. What's George
Karl excuse for being a terrible person," Martin wrote as part of a
series of tweets.
The unflattering remarks about Martin, who played under Karl on the
Denver Nuggets, are in Karl's memoir, "Furious George," which is set to
be released in January.
“Kenyon (Martin) and Carmelo carried two big burdens: all that money
and no father to show them how to act like a man,” Karl wrote.
Karl also criticized Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith, comparing all
three to "the spoiled brats you see in junior golf and junior tennis."
Clearly, Martin got word, starting a string of tweets with "The Nerve of an AWFUL and COWARD A-- COACH. More to come."
Martin — who played 15 seasons in the NBA, including two with the
Knicks and seven with the Nuggets — wrote that everyone who has played
for Karl "can't stand the ground he walks on." He added that "the book
he is writing is full of lies and deceit" and he was "by far the worst
coach" that he's ever played for.
Earlier on Friday, Smith seemed to direct a tweet of his own at Karl, sharing: "Still trying to be relevant. Sad just sad."
Before facing the Magic, Anthony said there was "no way" he was going
to address Karl's highly critical comments, but Martin mentioned the
Knicks star one tweet.
"Talking bout Melo didn't like defense. Hell he never coached defense. How does that work," he shared.
