Just watching Ride or Die, and he's the lead in the movie, and it says on the IMDB.com that he had a short stint with the New York Knicks. Anyone have any information on him?

About coming onto the set of Wes Craven's Scream 2:

"I felt like I was coming onto the Bulls," says Martin. "I didn't know what I was dealing with. I didn't know everybody was so cool. I didn't know everybody was going to be complimentary and really invite me in the way that they did, so, I was nervous."

Martin's Bulls analogy is only natural, since he once played with the New York Knicks. When asked why he chose acting over basketball, he responds simply, "They cut me." Then, perhaps realizing the possible double meaning of his statement in its present context, he amends it to, "They released me, so they pushed me out into the real world."
