Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin exchanged obscenities with a reporter as he was getting dressed after Friday night's 113-104 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

Martin had asked the reporter, identified by Nuggets spokesman Eric Sebastian as Dino Costa of the Radio Colorado Network, to move away from his locker while he finished dressing.

When Costa approached Martin a second time, the player again told him to move and added an obscenity.

Costa asked Martin to repeat himself, and Martin replied with an obscenity.

Costa repeated that to Martin, which caused Nuggets personnel to force the reporter out of the locker room before Martin had answered any questions. The men exchanged more words as Costa left.

Martin has had a contentious relationship with the media recently, accusing it of manufacturing problems after two off-the-court incidents this month.
