    Underrated? Wasn't he Mr Fool's Gold

    Why is he in a Spurs uniform? He's a free agent and out of the 5 teams for which he's played, he played the least amount of minutes (only 16 games) in his career with Spurs and scored the least amount of points.

    He did play more playoff games with the Spurs than the Rockets, though. :( However, that kinda says how he wasn't really underrated.

    Kevin Martin is my favorite Rockets flopper of all time, better flopped than Harden, Lowry, Scola, Hayes

    He was like a fairy on the court, good night sweet prince

    I enjoyed his time with us. He could really shoot the ball.

    Too bad that time with Scola, Lowry, Brooks/Dragic, and Landry were the mediocre years. Add a healthy Yao to that team and that would have been a very good team.

    I find it hard to believe that he can't find employment since he is a good shooter. Would take him over Brewer. Maybe he didn't want to be a bench specialist?

    At the end of the day, he was extremely soft.

    I thought he was a pretty good scorer and the kings best player pre cousins. Didn't he avg 20 ppg or close to it?

    I was happy when we got him for his scoring and I was happy when he left for harden. He never really let me down. To be fair I thought he was fun to watch when he was here.

    To be honest, I'll be a fan of Kmart

    Loved the team of Lowry. KMart, Bud, Scola, Hayes. That was a great 9th seed team always guaranteeing us the 14th pick

    Anyway loved Kmart's smooth offense and how he used to live at the FT line.

    Strong first half player but disappeared in the second half it always seemed.

    Game very similar to Harden except Harden does it 100x better.

    The wind knocks Brewer down at times

    Other than his defense, healthy Martin would be an almost perfect compliment next to Harden in this offense.
