Karl Malone left Isiah Thomas with a bloody face in the early 1990s so Kenyon Martin retaliated years later
Former No. 1 draft pick Kenyon Martin grew up in Saginaw, Mich., so he was an Isiah Thomas fan as a kid.
During the 1991-92 season, Malone hammered Thomas with a hard foul in the paint. The play left Thomas needing nearly 50 stitches. Years later, Martin made sure to exact some revenge. He was drafted by the New Jersey Nets in 2000. He went after Malone the first opportunity he had. When Malone drove the lane, Martin came and wacked him in the head. The force of the smack forced Malone to the ground. It was a feeling of vindication for both Martin and Thomas.
