Mumbai: Unconventional. The word perhaps most used to describe Kevin Martin's playing career. He wasn't the tallest, strongest or the fastest. Yet, he managed to carve out a space for himself in basketball's biggest arena – National Basketball Association (NBA) – with his sharp mind and a will to grind it till the end.
He had one of the strangest looking three-point shots in NBA but no one will argue its effectiveness. Martin averaged around 18 points a game and was part of a clan that ushered in a new era of smaller, three-point scoring guards.
After 12 years in NBA, Martin retired at the end of the 2016-17 season, at the age of 33 to spend more time with his family.
