As Kenyon Martin and the Denver Nuggets get ready to battle the Los Angeles Lakers for the right to go to the NBA Finals, Martin's feud with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is apparently not over and done with. During the 2 teams' heated playoff series. The feud began when Cuban made comments to Martin's mother about her son as he stormed off the court after the Mavs game 3 loss to Denver. The end of that game had a questionable non-call which could've cost Dallas the game. The NBA released a statement after the game that acknowledged the officials missed the call. Cuban then apologized for his actions on his blog, rather than contacting Martin personally. Martin, in a Monday interview with HoopsHype.com, said "He's a coward. He couldn't face it. You all read the only apology that he's made [on his blog].  The world got to see it before the person who it was meant for got to see it. That tells you how that goes. I ain't never known nobody apology to somebody through other people." Later, Cuban expressed regret at his decision to apologize online. "I still intend to apologize to Ms. Moore, I made a mistake and will keep my commitment." He also expressed a desire for Martin to apologize.

"I would also like to know if Kenyon is going to take responsibility for his actions rather than hiding behind 'no comment,' " Cuban wrote. "Will he apologize to the wife of our staff member that he called a [expletive] fat pig' immediately after Game 3? Will he apologize to fans that he threatened to, and I'm paraphrasing here, '[expletive] beat the [expletive] down' during Game 4? Or to the fans he walked by after Game 4, [Martin] cursed and gave the finger to? Will he take responsibility for what he said and did? Is there some reason he has not?"
