Jeremiah Martin making most of NBA opportunity

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The play was vintage Jeremiah Martin.

Quick hands denying Milwaukee an opportunity to launch a potential game-tying shot.

Quick hands knocking the ball from the hands of Bucks' guard Donte DiVincenzo, just at the moment he was sizing up a likely 3-pointer in the closing seconds against Martin's Brooklyn Nets.

Those same quick hands that saw Martin lead the University of Memphis in steals for three straight seasons, from 2016-17 to 2018-19, and end his career fifth in school history.

"That is it, the hands of Jeremiah Martin help seal a 119-116 Brooklyn victory," said the play-by-play announcer on NBA.
