Kenyon Martin is the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference.

I love live music. I love going to the event. And to know them as people and to have seen the Grateful Dead grow up and become who they are is so incredibly special.

I have nothing but respect for the Lakers. So many of their legends shaped who I am as a person and player.
