Some Vintage: Kevin Martin destroyed Dallas Mavericks off the bench

What is "unjury"

 

So he can score in the clutch, good to know it.

 

Dallas is Kevin Martin's middle name.

 

Martin was consistently having games like this where he would go 12/14, 9/11, and 14/16 at one stretch in his career.

He is capable of scoring every time he touches the ball, but it's nice to have a player that understands he needs his teammates to score if he wants to win.

 

He currently does that on this team. I would even say his game is slightly better. The only difference may be he is better guarded on this team. We don't have a tyreke Evans.

So many threads bashing this guy but we wouldn't even have 5 wins if it weren't for him. Yeah he is not a 4th quarter go to guy but he plays within himself. Rarely does he force a shot. He looks for his and then he looks for the most open guy and if that is not there he dishes to someone on the perimeter to start the process over.

 

yea.........i don't this will happen. he seemed to attack the basket more in this video

 

To me that makes him overpaid, why pay him over 10 million when he's not a go-to player?.. your taking away your flexibility while being stuck in mediocrity.

 

This is a fact.

 

like houston is jason terry's middle name.

 

What are you talking about? He attacks the basket every chance he gets and gets the and 1 or at least a foul called most of the time. He averages like 9 free throws a game.

 

I didn't know he was this good.

Those drives were lightning fast, compared to that, the now martin is a lazy jump shooter

 

His shot looks different now.

 

Like Houston is in john stockton's middle name.

 

My idea of bringing him off the bench doesn't seem so bad now, does it? :grin:

 

So what if he is overpaid. He is what he is. You don't build a team around Martin. But you can win a championship with him on your team. He is a great shooter. he is our best scorer. He is not fools gold because he helps you win. he shoots lights out. QAnd he does it consistently when he is guarded. Fools Gold is Tracy Mcgrady, Iverson, Carmelo ANthony, Nowitzki... You think you can build a championship team around them but the just tease you every year.

Oh and just for the record Martin may be overpaid but here are just a few guys making alot more than him...

Michael Redd Milwaukee $18,300,000
Andrei Kirilenko Utah $17,822,187
Gilbert Arenas Washington $17,730,694
Vince Carter Orlando $17,300,000
Zach Randolph Memphis $17,333,333
Kenyon Martin Denver $15,959,099
Elton Brand Philadelphia $15,959,099
Predrag Stojakovic New Orleans $15,336,000
Rudy Gay Memphis $13,603,750
Brandon Roy Portland $13,520,500

 

AMEN OMR.

Martin is a great complement player and $11M for a complement player in this league is kinda fair (especially since most superstars are making $15M-$20M).

Put Martin alongside somebody like Carmelo Anthony, a good big and a good PG, that team could put up a championship run for sure.

 

How is Anthony or Iverson fools gold?

Iverson played with his heart on the line day in day out throughout his entire career. Took a team to the finals on which he was the only superstar.

Anthony is still young and yet to prove himself on a great team.

 

Iverson would be fools gold in today's NBA.

Back in the ISO days he was the man.
