George Karl is not doing himself any favors with former players. Reggie Evans came to the defense of his former Denver Nuggets teammates criticized by Karl in an upcoming book, which you can read about here.
One of those teammates was Kenyon Martin, who responded by absolutely blasting Karl on Twitter.
Some of those tweets were shared by ESPN’s Rachel Nichols.
George Karl calls Kenyon Martin "insecure, immature" in part because he had no father growing up. Kenyon has a few things to say about that pic.twitter.com/yVfV8r18v4

He was not done.
George Karl is selfish,unhappy,missable,,cowardly person. No wonder he's be fired every place he has coached

Needless to say, Martin does not recommend the book.
The book he is writing is full of lies and deceit. By far the worst coach that ever played for

Martin certainly played for plenty of coaches who have records far worse than Karl, but clearly isn’t moved by that.
If nothing else, Karl should do himself a favor. If any of his former Denver teams have a reunion, the coach should probably stay away.
