I know that I said in a previous Jarell Martin video that I don’t need any other players to have good games as long as I get to keep making Jarell Martin highlight videos. Well, I would like to issue a retraction for that statement. I have now made a Jarell Martin highlight video three…

Jarell Martin might be the player on the Grizzlies about whom people care the least. Actually, that’s probably not true now that I really take a look at their roster instead of just trying to recall their roster from memory, because they have some seriously marginal players on that team who people might not have…
