Kenyon Martin: ahead of his time.
The feud between Kenyon Martin and Mark Cuban has finally produced something tumblworthy. A triple negative.
That’s right. When speaking with HoopsHype.com, Martin said, “I ain’t never known nobody apology to somebody through other people.”
So, let’s parse it
ain’t never = have
ain’t never known nobody = Have known nobody.
Kenyon Martin’s grammar was so bad that it actually came out right. To add a little more confusion, he even threw in the “known,” which sounds like another negative. Bonus for the misuse of “apology,” too.
Good work, K-mart.
