Why doesn't Kevin Martin clap hands after a free throw?

    After a Rockets player shoots a free throw all the other teammates on the court come over and clap his hand. However I've noticed that Kevin Martin never does this when a team mate shoots free throws, he is the only player who doesn't do this.

    Does anybody know why that is?

    I do not know why but For some reason it annoys me.

    1.) Nobody likes him.

    2.) Nobody wants to catch the "Throw yourself into the nearest coach/chearleader/defender/mascot on offense" disease that's transferable through hand clasps.

    Kevin Love advised him against it.

    He doesn't feel they are worthy of a freethrow maestro's approval.

    because he is so strong a slap of hands might break a teammates wrist or worse... give him a career ending injury. Personally i'm glad this doesn't happen.

    As soon as he claps hands with a teammate the ref would call a foul.

    Wow, the Kevin Martin hate is stronger than ever after AB got shipped out and the team began to thrive.

    Go join the Suns forum kids.

    Because when Kevin Martin is proud of his teammate, they already know.

    Must be a personality thing. I kinda view Martin as a "not so touchy" guy.

    As long as Kevin is scoring 20+ PPG, I don't give a flying ****.

    Given that Kevin Martin shoots nearly 90% from the line, maybe all players should stop clapping hands.

    Maybe because when you hit 9/10 and get to the line more than anyone on your team, and most players in the league, high-fiving becomes a waste of time, not to mention energy, you ungrateful asses.

    Aside from the comment about the contact not resulting in freethrows, which was hilarious, the illogical vitriol towards Martin would be funny if it wasn't so sad and pathetic. Tune in people, or tune out.

    Martin couldn't shoot a free throw if the other teammates on the court came over and clap his hand.
