If you've seen Martin play over the last few years you'd know he's active in passing lanes with quick hands and very fast on his feet since he's only 190lbs at 6'7, he can move. Think throughout his career he pretty much averaged a steal a game, holding a better than average steal to turnover ratio...
The most I'll give up in this is I may have gone overboard in calling him an "excellent" defender, but he is better than average, and in no way a horrible one.
ilapeeno yea Harden he'll get the max deal in Houston but during his 5 year stay there, he'll never make it out of the first round. Let's say hypothetically in big games he becomes the go to man, what happens ? I mean like I said about his finals performance, it was bad... and that was on the Thunder playing off the stars they got....
Nevermind the fact that Houston is reshuffling and in a rebuilding stage with no stars on the team....
I think it's a really poor decision on his part, and if I was him I would have found an extra 10-20 million in another manner, short term investments best bet. He's gettin that money over 5 years, so a few mill extra per year, guaranteed those guys got jew accountants that can find them a few extra mill a year just by playing stock markets or investments.
I would NOT have left a championship contender for years to come for a few extra mill a year I could easily find elsewhere.... to me it doesn't make sense, he's either really REALLY stupid, or there is more to the story like he felt disrespected or something and even if it was that, I would have given him a pass IF IF IF he killed it in the finals, which he didn't
My 8th grade lil bro made a mini mix tape of my other 5th grader little brother, I'm so very proud of him I had to share... he's playing with the gr 6 n 7's, so a little bit ahead which is good for his development.... kid is gonna be a natural point guard with ability to score, I honestly have not seen any kids his age with handles so pure and the body control..
I taught him the Shammgod he pulls out at 1:01, lol
