Robert Martin (born 1972 in Atlanta, Georgia) also known as 50, is an American street basketball player who has played on the AND1 Mixtape Tour and is currently a member of the Ball4Real tour. 50 is 6'8 and weighs 210 pounds and is known best for his slam dunks. He was given the nickname '50' because of the height of his vertical jump.[1]

[edit] And1 Career

Martin started playing in open runs during the year of the third Mixtape tour. He was then introduced by AO on the AND1 Mixtape Tour Volume 5 as a 'new recruit' of the AND1 team. One of his signature moves is throwing and catching an alley-oop off the shot-clock.
