Kenyon Martin – the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft who played 15 years in the NBA – joins Adrian Wojnarowski on The Vertical Podcast with Woj for a brutally honest and wildly entertaining hour.

Martin, who played his final NBA season last year, holds back nothing about his career, opening up about famous scrapes, feuds and rivalries.

Martin goes into great detail about growing up with a stuttering problem and how that influenced his confrontational nature. From former teammate Tim Thomas to former Nets owner Bruce Ratner to former league commissioner David Stern, Martin talks about never backing down and never playing it safe.

After catastrophic injuries as a college and NBA star, two NBA Finals appearances and the most improbable draft workout a No. 1 pick ever had, Martin leaves it all out there with Woj.
