Marbury deserves consideration for the Basketball Hall of Fame. He has been a wonderful global ambassador of the game in China and he has played well in both the NBA and CBA.

Stephon Marbury, this is one of the best redemption stories in modern sports, and it's also a perfect story of modern globalization. Awesome to see Starbury living well!
@violetcrimes6 жыл бұрын
agreed! as a knicks fan he was one of my childhood heroes. he was destined to go beyond the nba, very proud of him and his impact. i've also been privileged to watch some of his games in China and you could see the passion and energy permeating through the stadium, he would give his all. an utter joy to watch.

Radu Blanc. My God dude. You missed the point of the "Starbury" like Trump missed the point of being a President. Do you even understand that Marbury stayed away from a major corporation (Nike/Adidas/Converse etc...) in order to be in TOTAL control of his brand which includes pricing and marketing. In other words, he's no one's puppet and he's not out to rob marks, such as yourself, to sell his soul all in the name of a fucking dollar. That's reserved for slaves like Michael Jordan. Yeah, people like that made a lot of money but the masters that they serve made 100x more than made, off of their name. Think about that before you help promote the same master with a "Foot Locker" claim. That's why this world is fucked up right now. GREED! #GoSTEPH
@Amidat5 жыл бұрын
@Radu Blanc you don't get the point... Marbury is from the ghetto... Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. His point was kids in the ghetto shouldn't be buying $150 sneakers. I love Jordan - but Marbury is right on that. Marbury KNOWS what kids will do to get those sneakers. I lived in it... You know how many robberies took place over those shoes back in the day. Corporations enriching themselves over the poor and ignorant.

Could you may be first help me to clarify some of my confusions, if some people are really well behaved but still got discriminated, why do they not leave the country immediately? That's weird isn't it? Everyone should have some self-esteem right? If I visited somebody's home and was discriminated by that guy, I won't waste any more time at that place. I would leave that disgusting place immediately. So if the thing is really as you said, that there are a lot of black people being discriminated by Chinese people in China, why do they not leave? Do they enjoy to be discriminated? I guess no one does! So what you said is obviously fake.

I believe things happen for a reason...even the bad. That is why we shouldn't stress or worry when bad things happen... every problem has a solution....so, all we have to do is pray for wisdom and strength. Sometimes, bad situations stir us to a different path, that we would have never taken, had that bad situation not pass. As long as our legs are not broken, we can always get back up with God's help and run again. 😊 Learn this since I was a child...I always got bullied but I never asked my mom for help...I remember reading in the Bible to ask and it shall be given...so I asked God to help me...and my bullies eventually became my friends... Because I was nice to them when the roles reverse and they were being hated by the whole class. So from that moment on, I knew I should never worry even when bad things happen. I think... Stephan's story is inspirational and it goes to show us that we should never loose hope.
