Julius Randle’s wife, Kendra Randle, barked into former NBA player Kenyon Martin’s opinion of the couple’s kiss following the New York Knicks’ Game 5 win over the Miami Heat.
Martin found it strange that Randle’s initial reaction was to find his wife and kiss her after the win. He also had a few words with his son, Kyden, before meeting up with his teammates.
«We just finished playing a close game in a playoff series and the first thing we [Randle does] is that you go to kiss his wife. Is that the first thing you do? Where is your mind? The first thing he did, dude, when the game was over,» Martin said on Gilbert Arena’s «Gil’s Arena» podcast.

«I’m sitting there watching the game with my wife. I’m like, ‘I love you to death, but there’s no way in that incident. I’ll be with my guys. We finished winning, I’m not even thinking about you.'»
Kendra Randle had time on Saturday to respond to Martin, as she used her Twitter page to do so, starting with some laughing emojis.
