As much as I dislike the selfish Kenyon Martin, I despise George Karl even more. I think Karl's ego is outrageous and I'm not really sure why. Agree, he screws up every talented team he has been lucky enough to inherit.
Part 3. At least I think it's part 3. The Post's website is down right now, but that should be the link to the story.
My issue with him isn't at all that he was hurt. It's that he was playing it both ways all season. 1. I'm competetive, so I'm going to play through the pain, because that's the soldier I am. 2. I'm hurting here, so I can't practice. Either you're hurt or you're not. He clearly wasn't 100% on the court half the time last season. Karl noticed it, pulled him, and he erupts. If you're hurt, the second opinion validates it, and it's noticable in your play, then your minutes need to be cut. He was unbelievable with his temper tantrum. He's a dick, and that goes all the way back to Jersey ("ha ha, look at how slow one-kidney is!") Evan
