Kevin-Martin
Kevin Dallas Martin, Jr. (born February 1, 1983 in Zanesville, Ohio) is an American professional basketball player currently with the Sacramento Kings in the NBA.
He played for Zanesville High School and attended college at Western Carolina University where he majored in sports management. He ranks fourth all-time on Western Carolina's scoring list with 1,838 points. Martin was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 26th overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. In the 2004-05 season, Martin averaged 2.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He showed much improvement the following year, averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Martin also started from time to time during the 2005-06 season, which included a start at small forward due to Ron Artest being suspended for Game Two of the team's first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs following a flagrant foul (elbow to the head) on Manu Ginobili.
When interviewed on a segment by TNT during a game, Martin credited Doug Christie for helping him learn how to defend in the NBA. Likewise, Martin also credited Cuttino Mobley for helping him with his shooting. Martin played behind both guards during their tenure with the Kings.
In the general managers' survey at the start of the 2006-2007 NBA season, Martin tied for second as the player most likely to have a breakout campaign, behind Orlando's Dwight Howard.
Martin played in the 2005 and 2006 Zanesville Gus Mackers tournaments.
During the 2006-07 season, Kevin Martin is proving himself to be among the top scorers in the NBA, averaging 21.4 points per game as of February 26, while averaging 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists, both career highs. He is also one of the best shooters in the league with a 48.9% shooting percentage from the field and 40.8% from beyond the three-point arc (along with 85.2% FT shooting).
Martin is a pretty cool guy, mangggg.
