Last week Kenyon Martin returned to the University of Cincinnati to accept his induction into the school’s Hall of Fame. While honoring one of the best Bearcats to ever come through Clifton is a special moment on its own, the event was also important because it brought closure to a tenuous era in the basketball program’s history. Below is Martin’s acceptance speech from that night to close an exceptional evening. I think you’ll really get the feeling that UC basketball has his undefied support going forward.
