Martin Jr.’s jersey number was officially identified as NBA jersey No. 6 in the makeup photo. Although some people question that the number should be retired by the NBA league, it has no impact on NBA players who have been wearing this number to play. Martin Jr. wore the No. 6 jersey during his time with the Rockets, so it makes sense for him to continue to keep this number. In the history of the Clippers, the last player to wear the No. 6 NBA jersey was DeAndre Jordan.

Martin Jr. is the son of former NBA No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin. He inherited his father’s excellent physical fitness and often showed wonderful dunks. Although his draft pick was not high and he was selected with the 52nd overall pick, he was good at seizing opportunities and performed well during the Rockets’ rebuilding period. His stable performance and high attendance rate are very valuable to the Clippers, especially in 82 games in the 22-23 season. Unfortunately, the Rockets did not include Martin in their plans. He almost left the team last NBA season and was eventually sold at a low price this summer. The Rockets did not get enough returns in Martin Jr.’s deal, and only got two future second-round picks, which caused controversy. Even so, Martin Jr. is still grateful to the Rockets: “Houston will always have a place in my heart.”
