Van Horn seeking new beginning, new hope with Sixers.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
PHILADELPHIA _ The sweat had not yet turned to salt on his long body before Kenyon Martin started ripping. "Look at the stat sheet," Martin said in June, moments after the Los Angeles Lakers completed their sweep of his New Jersey Nets to win the NBA championship. "It'll tell you (why the Nets lost)."
The statistics sheet revealed this: Keith Van Horn, the Nets' starting power forward and leading scorer in the regular season, was 3 of 7 from the field for seven points, well below his 18.2 career scoring average.
"People went and they just didn't bring it," the fiery Martin continued. "... I talked all season, tried to motivate people. Did that to the point where I was tired of talking."
Less than two months later, Van Horn was gone, traded to the 76ers along with Todd MacCulloch for Dikembe Mutombo.
