Stephon Marbury's Rebirth in China

[@IblewuponyourfaceIII]

Stephon Marbury made $15 dollar shoes for impoverished children, he and Shaq have a huge amount of respect from me

[@wisesavedone2721]

👍👍👍👍

[@CainBeezle]

+IblewuponyourfaceIII don't forget about hakeem. those spalding's go hard! articles.philly.com/1995-12-22/news/25667567_1_sneaker-boutiques-athletes-foot-hakeem-olajuwon

[@alssirafalhaqiqa1251]

what about Hakeem The Dream Olajuwon who inspired Shaq on the court and off the court. Hakeem was the man.

[@konesokona]

Definitely an empowering move that, I am sure, is welcomed by many parents.

[@PoetryJesusY2K]

I respect the hell out of Marbury for resurrecting his career in Beijing but that play had to be the craziest shit I have seen in my life had me rolling.

[@loudbill]

I tried so hard to take it seriously, but I just couldn't...

[@MultiRawrWaffles]

***** Seems like a very capitalist remark doesn't it? I expected more propaganda in that play.

[@peekaboopeekaboo1165]

MultiRawrWaffles you expected stereotypes about China! Watching too much CNN or FOX?

[@MultiRawrWaffles]

ChinaUncensored. xD Sorry, I know it's definitely US propaganda but it's sooo enjoyable.

[@peekaboopeekaboo1165]

yeah! they're fun to watch! the level and degree of ridiculousness are absurd!

[@GIN.356.A]

people say "oh he just there to pick up fat stacks that he cant get in the league no more", people say "oh he just trying to market his brand in a new and bigger market.", people say "oh he is only a star there cuz he can't play in the NBA no more". That may all be true. It's true that their level is much lower than the NBA, but you don't become a champion in any league, even if the level is significantly lower , by having no drive and heart to win. Even if he was better than everybody, basketball is a team sport, to win you had to put in work yourself and work with your team and come together as a unit. But real talk tho, how many nba or ex-nba stars are actually willing to go to china put in effort and work with the local players? sure stephon is old, sure there are much better guys than him now in the NBA, but that don't mean nothing. Stephon is a hero in China because even if he is past his prime, he brought what he had to china. And surely the experience of an ex 2 time all star in the NBA can't hurt. And surely better than nothing at all, not to mention Marbury is actually committed. Best of luck in China Starbury, didn't like you before, but you are alright.

[@blackbeanburger3357]

can't hate on the man... he found a new life for himself and he's happy. basketball is one thing but when you think about how a lot of athletes spiraled out of control and got ripped to shreds by the western media... marbury made the most of an opportunity.

[@trint26]

+Fabs ESPN has tons of stories about broke athletes. But they don't like success of people they criticized and were wrong about. I am glad he found something.

Stephon Marbury is beloved by millions of basketball fans in China. "I am playing for the rest of my life," he says. "This is my home now."

[@titocardona6229]

Lol the reporter was lost af when he said that

[@chicanohek]

I was at Papa's Bier Strube here in Shanghai as Marbuy wrapped up his championship in winter/spring of 2015...and...everyone in the bar/brewery was cheering for him. It was surreal, emotional and very epic. The guy deserves a lot of respect for what he has done for himself here in China. As for Mike Sui. Eat one buddy.

[@fearofsaturn]

I'd rather go to China and be Michael Jordan than stay in the NBA and be Kwame Brown. I'm sure he's getting paid more over there and the fans actually love him. Lol

[@ernestocaro9802]

Kwame brown hahahahaha worst NBA player of all time ??? Probably,worst draft #1 ??? No doubt !!!

[@jrdonescobar5584]

Ernesto Caro kwame brown would average 40 points a game thats saying the cba is shit

[@melokid99]

Starbury gets paid 2 million a year im China but was getting paid 20 million in the nba

[@jrdonescobar5584]

***** still better than working in a factory or mcdonalds

[@melokid99]

Don Mallonga he was making 20 million! wtf does working in mcdonalds have to do with it

[@govindasgarden]

This only seemed weird because I'm coming from a brainwashed American mind. I respect Stephon for doing his thing in China and wish him all the best.

[@MrHopedrawing]

西方的媒体就是假新闻！！兄弟

[@ltrgman]

Politics aside... global, tier one cities in China like Beijing and Shanghai are no joke. There is A LOT of money to go around and way more opportunities than most U.S. cities (especially for foreigners). These cities are populated with futuristic skyscrapers, high speed rails, mega malls, night clubs/bars that rival stuff in Vegas... long story short, this isn't the China from outdated high school textbooks. Marbury is smart for making the move to China and extending his career. People don't judge him there, they respect him. He's gonna retire and live quite well I'd say. Good for him.

[@ninjachamp12]

From NBA player to Chinese cult leader, Stephon Marbury

[@dmac5472]

A few thoughts. I'm in my low 30s and I am A born and raised Brooklynite, so I grew up hearing a lot about Marbury... and his family. He was talented enough to become a real superstar but he did have some issues. with that said I did support his entrepreneurial side. I used to go to steve and barrys in the Manhattan mall and buy the starbury apparel. it is kind of sad to see that the brand did not endure. but I am happy to see that Marbury did find a home..and became the star abroad that many hoped he could be here. from Brooklyn to Beijing

[@DanNguyen-xd6wg]

Stephon was a phenomenal basketball player during his time in NBA. He had so much love and respects from teams, teammates and fans when he was at his peak. But people seem to abandon him when he hits a rough patch and at his lowest point during his time in NBA. He somehow managed to find his love for basketball all over again overseas. Thank God that China has given him a chance to build his legacy and what a legacy it is. Congrats Stephon! You deserved every little bit of success you have built in China Basketball Organization. God bless sir!

[@ceasarnunez5652]

I dont know who that reporter is, but she is gorgeous

[@dudenamedluke]

KEEP GETTIN THEM CHECKS

[@MrPrettyjimmy]

Say what you want about Marbury, ever since he left the NBA he's been on a positive journey in China. He's not only building his Brand but he's right up there with Yao Ming in terms of developing Basketball as the #1 sport in China. We're talking Billion+ potential Fans, Players, all that. As a fellow Brooklynite, ALHS Graduate and fornmer Coney island resident....BIG Shout out to STARBURY aka the original Jesus Shuttlesworth . Vice news should've showed him much more respect instead of being dismissive and hating on all that love hes getting in China. the guy was a perrenial all-star, i think its time he should be inducted in the Hall of Fame

[@danielohkay]

This clip sets a record for the most condescending laughing by a reporter.

[@EffDinero8]

"I am Marbury...We are all Marbury..." #I'MDONE LMFAO!!!! Fuck the haters this nigga Starbury got these Chinese niggaz comparing him 2 God! Whose fuckin' with him!!! Can't stop laughing!!!

[@paulocuento9949]

its nice to hear a story about athletes who resurected their careers.. you can laugh at him for his downfall, but you gotta recognize his courage to start all over again, even if it means risking falling further than before.. glad it turned out for the best

[@SupremeSupervillain_]

That show was hilarious and painful to watch lmfao

[@obsidian00]

Glad he is making it out there...and what he said about Chinese basketball becoming bigger than the NBA is no pipe dream.

[@sleepinggiant575]

[@stephenking7182]

[@reservoirman]

"we don't need free lunches!"

[@tumbox9204]

LMAO!

[@MostKnownUnKnown91]

So happy for him now

[@jhasjhis9]

Marburry did a lot for the perception of African Americans in China. They had previously only largely encountered African Americans through American films and TV. For him to move to Beijing and be the best him there brought a new perception for Chinese people to African Americans. Likewise he helped the CBA a lot and people appreciate his hard work and sincerity. They can tell that he actually took up to living in China, the culture and likewise learned a lot from the surrounding. He’s matured a lot since his days in the NBA. I’m really glad he was given this opportunity, took it, and few from it. He’s made the best of a situation. Other players retire at his age but he’s opened up another market for his career and countless other opportunities. The people of Beijing and China sincerely like and are fans of him. I don’t know if this video showed the best part of his stint here, lol. It is a video showing a part of a play about his life story. He’s capitalized on his life story and has made meaning to his life. I think that’s all anyone can hope for in life.

[@TheRamblingRamReviews]

Why do I detect a parallel between Marbury and Colonel Kurtz (Apocalypse Now). Both adopted and revered as some kind of god by a foreign culture... Both wield a strange influence over the population of said culture.. And of course, both are balder than the day they were born.

[@meekmeads]

The other is fatter than a blue whale.

[@alssirafalhaqiqa1251]

I love the game but hate who the NBA and it's leaders tried to get rid of Allen Iverson and Stephen Marberry. They went to Turkey and China to start a new and better life but the NBA is still benefiting from them and using them as NBA ambassadors. Now tell me beside Yao Ming and maybe Kobe who both get paid for being ambassadors for the league...tell me another person as big as Steph and A.I that took basketball beyond political correctness. Steph and A.I do it for the love for the game. The NBA still making money of both those guys and also they are using them as ambassadors of the NBA.

[@doctordef324]

WOW!!!!! That stage performance made me smile the entire time!!!! Marbury is an inspirational figure!!!!😁😁😁✊🏿🙏🏿

[@terrys4351]

Wow. Pretty crazy stuff. I could only imagine what would happen if Lebron JAmes went over there. He would be the supreme leader of China.

[@theight06]

No he wouldn't because Marbury built basketball there so LBJ wouldn't get the same respect as he does.

[@hmoobmeeka]

Kobe is bigger than Lebron in China and even kobe doesn't get the same treatment as Marbury does. China gave Marbury a permanent residence card, his team built a statue of him, he has a play, he's pretty much a god in China while lebron is a king in the NBA

[@MrAnupu]

Mauberry a boss in china. money and the power. he a good dude and he from the bottom. peace god

[@utube0803]

Stephon Marbury is a very positive individual. Kudos to him for the positive messages that he is displaying in his show! And in his life! God bless him.

[@tunjibamgbola]

This speaks just as much about Chinese culture as it does about Stephon. For me it reenforces how everything/anything can is be subject to change so staying flexible and open minded is important

[@dullsearake]

This is absolutely ridiculous in the best way. Marbury has changed his life and it is fine to laugh at something yet appreciate its positive sides.

This drama is stupid and only a few people would watch it. Shame on u vice. If you really want to show people how he lives in china, why don't go to watch a game and tell people his change from a lone wolf to a team leader? Why you always show the worst part and make people think the whole thing is ridiculous. I'm a Chinese and a basketball fan. I'll say stephon's change should the amazing part you vice should tell people. Not this shity show.

[@Benger2185]

The positives: how much of an icon Marbury became just by switching his market. This is what you call a hustler The negatives: this gets no play in America. he'd get trolled, meme'd and become a laughing stock

[@shepherd7583]

Well at least he warned you before the play when he said it's not all about basketball.

[@OneBadRudeBoy]

wow this is great marbury was always one of my favourite players back in the day Im happy for him that things in china are really working out. I remember back in 2004 I visited Berlin, Germany and I was walking through the streets as a saw a guy who carried a basketball and had stephon marburys face tattooed on his shoulder. Back then I thought wow out of all players he chose to get stephon marburys face tattooed on his body thats crazy ... not jordan not magic but marbury. Now looking back his tattoo got a whole new meaning one of the poorest tattoo choices I ve seen so far turned into one of the best.

[@SirPhillyLeong]

So he moved to China to start his Broadway career. Well done. p.s The reporter is super cute.

[@EbongEka]

What Marbury has accomplished in the world's most populous nation should be studied. Complainers in the comments will talk shit and say he couldn't make it in the NBA. Those people are small minded and have probably never had anyone care about who they are in their own neighborhood, let alone among billions of people in China. The smart people are making moves in China. There's a reason you see Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, Curry, Durant, LeBron and others go to Asia in the summer. They are well known globally, but Marbury is literally treated as a deity there. He may get trolled in America, but most Americans haven't traveled outside of their state. Money is money...I've been to China and was playing ball in tournaments there. People treated me well...and I'm not even close to the Marbury level. With the economic buying power of China....people need to be open to new opportunities.

A lot of Chinese entertainment is seen as kind of "cringe" or "corny" in America, but Marbury was also seen as kind of cringe/corny sometimes, so it's a match made in heaven.
