    Thought these were pretty interesting, and gives insight to our newest Rocket. He has come a long way from the 5'8, 90 pound freshman in high school, and seems to have improved tremendously each year.

    On a separate note, I really like this David Thorpe guy and his Moreyesque approach to training athletes. He seems to be very analytical, while really stressing efficiency. He is not just training Martin's body, but also his game.

    He'll never return to elite status with that trainer. I think we know who he needs to call. ;)

    How is he not the same player? He has a wrist injury that can progressively get better as the season goes on.

    Pretty bad analogy comparing him to the T-mac in Orlando. Hater.

    Nope, same player.

    He just has to find his shot since the wrist injury, much better than trying to find some new knees.

    i'll stay on topic


    nice video. Put Martin's attitude and work ethic with Battier's preparation techniques and you might create a monster..

    Kevin Martin appears to be one those gym rats. Regardless of how this season ends for him, I would bet dude is going to come back strong next year.

    We have needed a sg for some time now and now we have an elite one, so let's be patient folks.

    He averaged 30 pts this year, before the wrist injury.

    Thorpe is legit. I read a book that basically chronicled what happened during offseason workouts and you wouldn't believe what they practice or what the staff does for the players. Lots of props to him
