Martin's means of motivation

Perhaps we could just give Kenyon Martin the Rookie of the Year
retroactively, add in a few honorary all-star appearances and place him on this year's NBA All-Defensive third team all by himself.

Or we can wait until he actually earns it on the court on a nightly
basis and becomes the player he already thinks he is.

"I'm done talking," said Martin in the New York Post after reading
that he had not made any of the NBA All-Defensive squads. "It's a
tragedy."
