After kick-starting the second round of the playoffs with a disappointing loss, the Knicks were able to secure two wins during the series.

Following that, no one but the NBA stars wife came to her husbands rescue and ripped Randles critic apart with a savage response.

The New York Knicks were down by 3-1 by the time they made it to Game 5. Therefore, every game became a knockout game for them. After they defeated the Miami Heat 112-103, the first thing Julius Randle did was go to his wife Kendra and his sons, Kyden and Jayce. The 28-year-old power forward greeted his kids and kissed his wife, a gesture that didnt sit well with former NBA star Kenyon Martin.

The basketball veteran heavily criticized Randle for leaving his teammates after their much-needed win and going to his family instead. Of course, Randles wife did not like Martins comments one bit and she made sure the former Denver Nuggets star was aware of that.

Kendra took to Twitter and responded to Martin by writing, slow news day I guess. Both of us grew up in single parent homes. We never saw our dads respect our mothers. Im so grateful my kids get to grow up watching their dad be the best father and husband.

However, the mother of two didnt stop there. Kendra also shared a follow-up tweet where she clarified that Randle displayed the gesture after winning the game. Had they lost it, he would not have even talked to anyone. Without mentioning Martin, she simply suggested that he should talk about real issues and not about a husband and father loving his family.

After the Knicks Game 5 victory, Kenyon Martin appeared on the Gilbert Arenas podcast show Gils Arena where he gave his take on Randles actions. According to Fox News, Martin stated that he was bothered by the fact that the Knicks star went to his wife immediately after the clocks hit zero.

We just got done playing a hard fought game in a playoff series and the first thing [Randle does] is you go kiss his wife. Thats the first thing you do? Where is your mind at? The very first thing he did, dawg, when the game was over, said Martin.He concluded by stating that had it been him in Randles place, he would have been beside his teammates and not even thought about his wife at that particular moment.
