By: Joel Gerber Sports Editor *K-Facts eIn August of 2007, the Sacramento Kings signed Kevin Martin to a 5-year contract worth $55 million. At the end of last season, Martin was second to Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis for the Most Improved Player award. Although he is not thinking about it at this time, when Martin is done playing he would love to become a coach. He also has not ruled out a possible return to Western Carolina in the future. *Before his injury, Martin was fifth in the league in scoring behind: LeBron James (30.2 points per game), Kobe Bryant (28.1), Allen Iverson (26.6) and Carmelo Anthony (26.2). *Readers of the Western Carolinian will have a chance to win an autographed Kevin Martin basketball in a drawing taking place soon.

He has worked very hard and deserved to be an All Star this year, and probably would have been if he wasnt hurt. As a teammate he was very helpful to me. Being from around the same area in Ohio it helped with my transition to living in Cullowhee. Kevin Martin on the Court! Visit Our Website - www.smpcc.org a _ & bry ae pape
