Martin, Karl Moved by Events in Haiti

Filed under: Hornets, Nuggets

DENVER -- You probably think Kenyon Martin would run over an old lady in a crosswalk and then claim it was a blocking foul on her.

OK, so maybe Martin only would do that if the old lady was in the paint in front of the basket.

Really, though, Martin, the tough guy for the Denver Nuggets who is most known by some for picking up flagrant fouls and technicals, is different than you might think.

Off the court, he's a compassionate guy. Honest.

He's got the Kenyon Martin Foundation, a charitable organization that helps underprivileged youth and single mothers. And before last Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, he vowed to donate $1,500 for each rebound he grabbed to earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
