Perth Wildcats fan favourite Damian Martin has been named in the final 12-man team to represent Australia at next month's Olympic Games in Rio. 
Martin will be part of a Boomers side that features six NBA players - four of which can show off NBA Championship rings.
The 31-year-old said during a pre-Olympic selection workout he believed his Olympic opportunity may have slipped past. 
"Since watching the Barcelona Olympics I always wanted to be an Olympian," he told the Wildcats facebook page last Monday. 
"To come so close to London it was pretty tear jerking once I got told I wasn't in the team."
Martin will be joined with fellow NBL stars Kevin Lisch from the Sydney Kings and Melbourne United's Chris Goulding.
Martin's selection in the Boomers side caps off a year where he led the Wildcats to their second championship in three seasons being also named the Grand Final MVP.
The 2016 Australian Boomers Olympic Team will play its first games on Tuesday and Thursday against the Pac-12 College All-Stars.
