Abstract. We study Martin boundary points of cones generated by spherical John regions. In particular, we show that such a cone has a unique (minimal) Martin boundary point at the vertex, and also at infinity. We also study a relation between ordinary thinness and minimal thinness, and the boundary behavior of positive superharmonic functions.
