Damian Martin announces his retirement

I'd be interested to see who takes over captaincy now? They may go with Jesse for 1 year then move it to Norton or Cotton, or go straight to Cotton? Hopefully Norton picked up some traits in his time alongside Damo. Huge hole to fill as we've seen over the years the Cats stumble when Damo's not on court leading the team.

This kid is a pro baller, he's a registered marriage celebrant, he's a licenced real estate agent and a fire rescue hero.

He shattered the mold, and all he does is win, all he does is win.

Take that Tim Tebow.

That night he had saved the Wildcats with a late 3 against Sydney.

Saved a man and his dog from the house fire.

Then got death threats against his family for hitting said three thus losing that person money.

Hated his defense as a Breakers fan through the 2010's, but what a competitor. Hats off to him.

So versatile, and he tops it all off by trending on Twitter.

From memory didn't he save someone last year from a fire while on a fish and chips run?

Sounded like he played through a partially torn Achilles this year. Sums up the type of guy he was

Congratulations on a stella career.

I don't know how you could really capture Grand Theft Basketball in a statue.

"His Slam on Sydney?"

That was such a moment, just came out of seeming nowhere.

Sad news for the league, he was a great leader and will be known as much for his leadership as his defence.

I saw a clip somewhere comparing how Martin speaks as a leader and how Daniel Johnson speaks. It was embarassing to be a Sixers supporter.

Yes. Get his number retired, and that Statue up.

Is there a moment in time that the statue should capture?

Stripping Durant is probably a bit corny.
A particular chase down block?
His Slam on Sydney?

Gutted to hear him retire but elated for him to be able to retire with so many accomplishments under his belt - incredible character and team dynamo.

Put #53 in the rafters and start sculpting the statue to put out the front of the Arena!

Gutted and Sad
But also thankful to have had him with us for so long. Absolute legend and will be sorely missed.
Will have to check out a few home opens, just so I get to shake his hand.

A truly incredible player and man.

I have been lucky to follow a club led by this NBL legend.

Wishing him all the best.

#53 in the rafters and name the Defensive player of the year after him. Both should be done this year.

Gutted, but elated for him :(

Played the entire season with a partially torn achillies that could go at any moment.

Considering he'd done one already, knowing the pain he could experience at any point is just insane.

He had a Kobe level of tolerance to pain!

Absolute legend.
Blessed to have had him here at the Cats.

Time to start designing that statue.

any idea if they will go up soon for this saturday ? or let our club know ?

usually it is up one week before but only 5 rounds that have been played are on the schedule.

would our club know ?
