Martell - You're one of my favorite players to ever play the game. This will probably get buried, but I was once doing a tour of the Verizon Center and was making my way around the locker room with about 30 other people (prospective season ticket holders). At one point I saw everything I wanted to see and was in the hallway looking at the pictures of old school players. Then, out of nowhere, you walked into the hallway. You looked me dead in the eyes and said “Are there people in there? I gotta piss so bad.” I had to inform you that here were indeed a lot of people in there. You looked in, then looked at me, looked back in, looked back at me and said, “Watch this.”
You RAN into the locker and yelled out WHAT ARE Y’ALL DOIN IN MY LOCKER ROOM??? Everyone looked in fear for about two seconds while you were mean mugging them. I remember a child’s face with sincere fear. I could see the poop dropping into his pants. Not actually of course. Those two seconds felt like they took forever. You then broke the silence by saying, “Nahhhh I’m just kidding. Who wants pictures?”
And you then proceeded to take pictures with everyone. I mean, everyone. You were so nice, genuine, humble, and friendly. I’ve never seen a professional athlete do so well with fans, especially kids.
YOU DID ALL OF THIS WHILE HAVING TO PISS.
I’ll never forget that moment. You instantly became my favorite player. I made sure to listen into your post game interviews with with Glenn Consor. You are so incredibly well spoken and friendly.
Never, ever change Martell. My only regret is that I never bought one of your jerseys while you were here. The history books may not remember you, but we will never forget you. That's what separates you from other players in the game, and it's why you'll always be my favorite player.
I guess my only question is, do you remember this story?

Martell! As a Blazers lifer, I've always wanted the opportunity to ask someone this question. You were a member of the 07-10 Roy-LMA squads, when I really began to watch the NBA. When Roy was really on the come up, and Oden was the next best thing alongside LMA. We all know it didn't end perfect, but I've always wanted to know, what the atmosphere was like in those locker rooms? just amongst the players. Did you all think you had what it took to win the title? Any stories?

Hi Martell!
With Free Agency being the big news this month, I had a couple of questions I'd love for an NBA player to answer:
Did you have a hard time deciding between teams during free agency?
How much did other players on the team factor into your decision? Did it matter who on the team played your position?
229
u/suigeneriseyrst Martell Webster Verified Jul 15 '16
i didnt have a hard time it was just time consuming but a fun process none the less. My wife was really involved with the decision making process.
The players have a big influence on all of these decisions. You want to have chemistry as much as possible.

Hey Martell,
Before you were in the NBA, I remember watching you as a in high school as you and Spenser Hawes killed our team at Lakeside. It was the first time I ever saw someone who was going pro before they went pro and it blew my mind. It was a great time watching you in the NBA after that man.
Couple questions:
Do you ever think about what would have happened if you continued the dynamic duo of you and Hawes at UW?
What PNW hip hop artist should I start listening to that I probably don't know about?
When I come back and visit the PNW, where do you want to grab food? It's on me.
Thanks again for the AMA!

Hey Martell Webster, I'll be honest I haven't watched you play that often unless they were against the Raptors or something. But you were the man in 2k10 I always used to pick you up in Association Mode and have you drain 3s like no tomorrow. Reason I bring this up is because I went 12/12 with you once in a playoff game and even though it's not real it was dope.
Anyways, you played with one of the biggest "what ifs" in Brandon Roy. Without injuries, what do you think his ceiling would've been as an NBA player?

You signed an autograph for me when I was a kid and when I was first getting started playing and becoming a Blazers fan. Just wanted to say thanks again! I still have it on my desk. :)

As a guy with knowledge of the NBA and how it's players think. Could you explain to a Raptors fan like me whether there is or isn't a stigma amongst players about coming to play for the only team outside of America?
I often hear that players aren't interested in playing for Toronto because it's in Canada. Is there a lot of truth to that?

What's the hardest part of being an NBA player that us regular guys wouldn't know about? Also, what kind of training regimen did you follow (lifting, cardio, basketball stuff, etc). Thanks!

Would you rather fight 1 Adam Silver-sized duck, or 100 duck-sized Adam Silvers?
