Martin said that ranking Kyrie Irving 34th and Russell Westbrook 94th is absurd, and having two rookies on the list disqualifies it completely.

The biggest sports media company in the world - ESPN - released its annual player ranking in October. It caused a serious outrage in the NBA community.

First, Kyrie Irving blasted the list, saying that he has no respect for the people who put it together. Now, former NBA forward Kenyon Martin went on a fiery rant about it.

"That list is horse**it. ESPN, if you're listening, it's bull**it. There ain't 33 people better than Kyrie Irving in the NBA. Start there. Show me 93 other people better than Russell Westbrook in the NBA. You got two people on the list that ain't played one f**ing NBA minute. Wemby and Scoot. They got Russ number 94, dawg. Are you shitting me? Let's stop this madness," he ranted on the Gil's Arena show.

"Y'all are idiots doing this bull**it. Show your face," Martin said about the people who assembled the list. "You want to put this bullshit out there? Show your face."

After he was explained that the list is intended to represent a ranking after the 2023-24 NBA season, Martin immediately interrupted.

"I don't give a f**k what it is. The fact that you got two rookies on this list is bull**it. Let's call it what it is," he said. "Who the f**k are these people making these decisions?"

"Whoever came and put this f**ing list together, all y'all are f**ing idiots," he concluded several minutes later.
