Their love for basketball began in grade school where they both played for their school team at Saint Leander’s in San Leandro. They both continued their basketball careers into high school at Bishop O’Dowd in Oakland. As their love of the game grew, their parents, Alexander Martin Sr and Maria Martin, would often take them to Golden State Warrior games at Oracle in the 2000s.

To this day, they actively play in adult recreation leagues and private runs. Competing, playing, and meeting new people is why they love to play basketball.
