To all the haters: Yeah, he’s the best scorer on a bad team, but what the f**k does that mean? That means he’s been getting double teamed night in and night out, guarded by the opposing team’s best defender. …And you guys are still bashing him after posting one of the league’s best efficiency numbers? You guys will be sticking your foot in your mouth next season when Martin ISN’T being double teamed night in and night out, cause he’ll have Tyreke in the back-court, too.

PERSONALLY I THINK HE’S KINDA GABITCH, BUT THE LEAGUE ALWAYS HAS SOMEBODY THAT GETS BUCKETS IN THE UGLIEST FASHION… KARL MALONE WAS THE FLUKE KING AND ANTAWN JAMISON PLAYS LIKE AN ACTUAL GIRL. SO IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO PRODUCTION!!!

Kevin Martin is one of the L’s most efficient players. The man can score 25 points on 10 shots given his ability to get to the line. He is one of the most resourceful scorers right now, up there with Kobe, Pierce and AI.

If you put K-Mart on a team like, say, Denver, then the Nuggets would be giving the Lakers a run for their money. And he’d own the K-Mart nick too, taking it away from that fraud, Kenyon Martin.

I am a huge Kings fan (see website.) I’m really glad you guys are showing K$ some love. Kevin is such a great individual scorer that he would put up those stats regardless of what team he is on. He would also make a great second fiddle, because of how much he can accomplish with just a few possessions a game. Back when Bibby, Brad Miller, and Artest were on the team, Kevin got about 12 shots a game. And averaged 20 points.

That is retardedly efficient. That is like 2k10 efficient (w/ sliders). He isn’t the type of player you can necessarily build an offense around, but he isn’t the type that needs that either. He doesn’t make his teammates better by dishing ‘dopey dimes’ because last season he averaged like 2.5 apg, but he does make them better just by creating better spacing on the floor. Which is why ‘Reke Havoc will be ROY.

K-Mart is a good player He is a borderline All Star. He’s a good shooter but he specializes in getting to the Free Throw Line to score and that is probably what makes him so injury prone.

K-Mart’s value is yet to be determined but I think he fits at #24 on this list thus far in his career. Whether you love or are down on him I think he has earned his props from us all. He came out of no where, worked at his game and made himself a great NBA baller. Is he a perenial all-star? No. Would every coach in the league be interested if he was available? Yes.
