The Mavericks Ceiling π
I see a lot of me 19 like I’m watching him in his Glam I’m like oh go with the Derek Lively kid man just who we on the team with got J kid over there until like myself when I before I knew how to play he’s young so I see a lot of me at 19 a lot a lot of M 19 uhhuh like I’m watching him in his Glam I’m like oh once he put on some weight right now hit that weight room is he as aggressive though yeah yeah yeah I think he’s probably not what most it’s in I see it I see a lot I see a lot of the same Tendencies man as me when I was 19
Kenyon Martin of the Gil’s Arena crew has high praise for the Dallas Mavericks Rookie Dereck Lively II. He sees a lot of himself in the young NBA Star, who just needs to hit the weight room and develop a bit as a player. When Kenyon Martin was 19 he was immature and didn’t know the game very well. But he developed into and NBA Superstar and now he thinks Dereck Lively can do the same for the Mavericks. Catch this and more NBA rookie takes on Gil’s Arena every week.
Gilβs Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Kenyon aging like wine! π·π
He should lock in wit Kenyon heβd give him jewels he need
Chimney said it best and Iβve been saying it . This wolves team had a great chance to win, but terrible terrible coaching. NAZ needs to start ! Period
I'm glad Lively wasn't seriously injured . That rookie was tearing it up get all the rest he needs
Thatβs a huge compliment young fella. Keep ballin
Crazy thing K-Mart was part of the small ball centers when the East was all nets for a couple seasons. Live is much taller and raw.
Lively has his way with Chet
Kenyon was a trash player. #1 pick and couldnt create his own shot
KMartin sees himself in DLive! Mentor waiting in the wings, man!
That mf a grown man at 19 look how he built
He won't develop to his full potential coz he'll never be given a chance to develop his jumper coz of Luka's usage and ball dominance.
Yeah yeah yeah PROBABLY NOT
He realized he was getting carried away
K mart was a dawg
If Kenyon sees himself in lively⦠the Mavs are about to be a PROBLEM
Nah K Mart was different ππ Blake Griffin was Kenyon 2.0 π€·π½ββοΈ iykyk
If Lively can get that jump shot and post game like K-Mart, itβs over.
A lot of me a lot of me a lot of me dude has the iq of a toddler
And KMart was at school for a few years. And Lively is at least in the nba at this age so thatβs a hell of a compliment
I believe Kenyon!… Nets time!
People forget Nowitzki and Chandler are coaching this kid up.
What is he talking about? D Live is actually smart player, and Martin could only dunk and basically be as dumb as they come. Is like me saying i see a lot of me in Jordan.
Can you be more specific, KMart?!
Kenyon was a beast defensively like Rodman but with a very polished offensive game
"It's in him and I see it ππ"
-(No Diddy)
To get admired by the OGs always feels great.
What episode was this
Thanks for providing this perspective. Lively is a good player, but his future is brighter.
Naw I see it. There games are very similar at the same age. Shit Iβll take a 7β1 Kenyon Martin as my center ALL DAY lol. Thatβs a scary thought. They always had him listed at 6β9 back in the dayβ¦. we know that probably means 6β8. Lively does have a similar game, but heβs almost 6 inches taller lol.
That's crazy Lively is 7"1 and Kenyon is 6"9
matthew 15:11 kjv
I remember kenyon at Cincinnati. That man could block shots with his head like a soccer player
Kenyon, jefferson, kid and VC15 in NJ NETS.π₯. showwtiimmee!!!
Lively plays possessed. You can see it in his eyes at times
That says a lot especially sure I've never seen him say anything like that about his actual son who carries his name in the league
My Game 3 Prediction :
Although I'm rooting for the Mavs, I believe the Celtics will be the winners.
In reality, the CELTICS ARE AT A STRATOSPHERIC LEVEL compared to the Mavs. If the "Knicks" with Jalen Brunson (who is skilled at three-point shooting) couldn't beat the Celtics, then the Mavs won't be able to either.
It's thanks to Kyrie Irving's arrival that the Mavs are in the finals, and it's also because of Kyrie Irving that the Mavs will lose the NBA finals.
For a win, the Mavs don't need Kyrie Irving to be effective in dribbling but to rediscover his efficiency in three-point shooting.
So, if you see a Mav or Kyrie Irving relying on dribbles or two-point baskets, it's an indication that the Mavs will lose this match.
Therefore, the real question isn't who will win this match (that's already obvious), but rather:
Will Kyrie Irving regain his accuracy in three-point shooting?
Of course, a Luka DonΔiΔ plus a skilled and dribbling Kyrie Irving (as he knows how to do), along with AN EXCELLENT MAVS DEFENSE based on REAL "man-to-man defense," and by changing a few players from the Mavs, can beat the Celtics.
kmart is smaller version of tyson, dj, lively, stomile swift, great dunkers but canβt give them the ball and create for themselves
That's saying a he!! of alot
Over time, he will be a problem as long as he keeps progressing!
If Lively gets a offensive game, get a lil jump shot, Mavs will be even better. I wonder what teams will be innthe playoffs next year, one has to think, the Mavs might go far again, Celtics will probly go back & if they do, a Dynasty will he formed with this duo.
Damn Kenyon was spot on I honestly think he will be better than Kenyon tho
That hair line tho going down the court π
not so bad for a Duke player…
As a Celtics fan I can clearly say Lively is completely garbage! Heβs so goofy! Pushing people around π, rolling on the floor with the ball which is a travel! Left D white open for 3!! White and Holiday made fun of him on the bench π. They both said βSTOOPIT!!β
Lively one my favorites his energy and passion is unmatched. And the story with his mom how can you not like him
Damn! The Hawks are always coming up short. They had a shot to trade for this young man but they did not want to take two years of David Bertans contract. This draft they have a chance to draft a similar players Lively, but they will muck it up, again.
This aged poorly
β€β€β€JESUS BLESS THEM BOTH β€β€β€
