Gimel Martinez

[akaukswoosh]

Jerry Tipton did a good article on him. No I won't link it. Has lived in Columbus, Ohio now for years. Good job.

His father-in-law asked Martinez to help out in the family business, WH Humphrey, which sells lift equipment like hoists and cranes to construction and manufacturing companies and steel mills. Martinez, who turns 49 on June 14, has worked for the company for 21 years. He is now a vice president for sales and co-owner.

Q: Who has been your favorite UK player to watch during the past few seasons?

A: “I kind of like (Tyler) Herro. He was a good little ballplayer. And I really liked the big kid who left this year. Nick Richards. I like how he has developed.”

about as quick as his first two beers after the game. He could party

Huh. I always thought it was spelled JIMYL

Remember when he shot someone else's free throws in a close game? Pitino suspended he and Travis Ford for that.

Got a pic with him at The Memorial Golf tourn. a couple years ago......See him there every year

My wife’s favorite player of the Pitino era, outside of maybe Mash, of course. He was definitely a fan favorite. I’ve never heard anyone speak badly of Martinez. Dude was all hustle and gave everything he had.

I always said he got off the bench with a foul and a traveling call.

49....crazy.
338 career rebounds
331 career fouls

Was always a big fan. Pretty crazy that he and Ford both shot at least 50% from 3 in the 1992-93 season (at least 50 attempts).

Wasn't he the player that Pitino yelled at saying, "shoot the ball or transfer!" That was a classic line!

Say what you will, but he showed Robert Horry a thing or two when we played Bama back then.
