Anthony Martin (born August 24, 1980) is a British professional basketball player, currently plying his trade with the Plymouth Raiders of the elite British Basketball League.
The 6ft tall point guard began his career with the BBL Championship winning Chester Jets team of the 2004/05 season, making his debut in a home match against Sheffield Sharks on October 1, 2004. He also helped the team to the Play-off final that season, eventually losing to Newcastle Eagles, 75-78.
By his second season, he had commanded a place in the starting five, and averaging an impressive 66% on free-throws and 55% from the floor, whilst also tallying 7.38 points in 23.72 minutes-per-game. Sadly, Martin missed the 2006/07 season through injury, but after fully recovering was announced as a surprise signing for the Plymouth Raiders during the 2007 close season, ironically coming in as a replacement for long-term injured captain Gavin Love.
He quickly filled the void left by Love, and although faced some stiff competition from fellow new guard signing Brody Bishop and long-serving Raider Allister Gall, cemented his place in the first team. His blistering pace is the cornerstone of his game, and Raiders' head coach has claimed him to be the fastest player in the league, while other comparisons to NBA star Chris Paul have also been drawn.
