The 2009-10 NBA season hasn't even begun, and I think we already have the quote of the year courtesy of Kenyon Martin (in response to his continued feud with Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks)...

“I’ve never sold dope. I’ve never been to jail. I’ve never been shot at. I’ve never been stabbed. I’ve never shot at nobody. I never got a DUI. Never got caught with a gun. None of that. I never broke into nobody’s house. I used to steal [food] as a kid to get by, Lunchables. I was hungry and I went through it. But I’m not a thug. A thug shoots people, gets shot, goes to prison and does stuff like that. I’ve never done any of the above. So how am I a thug?”
