Martell Webster (born December 4, 1986 in Edmonds, Washington) is an American professional basketball player currently a member of the Portland Trail Blazers of the NBA. The 6'7" (2.01 m), 229 lbs (95 kg) shooting guard was selected by the Blazers with the sixth pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. He is nicknamed "The Definition" as a play on his surname (popularized by Webster's Dictionary), given to him by a personal friend. Webster is also the cousin of Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks.
He was assigned to the Fort Worth Flyers of the NBA Development League by the Blazers in January, 2006, but later returned to the Portland Trail Blazers in February. He scored his career high of 26 points January 5, 2008, 24 of them being in the third quarter. He is one of the last ever high school lottery picks to be chosen in an NBA Draft due to new draft eligibility rules introduced in 2006.
