@ 11:55 McCants caught a stray lmao 😂

[@tholiday7120]

Facts Rashad McCants got drafted by the wolves in 06. Marbury was gone by 99

[@bobbito9791]

He caught a fact. Hard for Shaq to remember which nobodies were on each roster each year after 19 years. He knew dude was never good in the NBA. He was the type of role player that held back KG. That is why his career was short. On Gil’s arena he blamed all his coaches hating him, his 7 agents and being coached by a woman once HE refused to talk to. Dude was just not good as a pro. From a lottery pick to the D league. He couldn’t get a second contract but brags about knowing where to but coochie in every NBA city.

Stephon Marbury should bring back those Starbury sneakers at $15 a pop. The man has come a long way. I appreciate his words about depression and overcoming it.

[@KabutungKabayo]

One of my all-time favorite Players. The original "Steph". I'm just glad he's still doing great in life nowadays and found his niche in China.

I love Shaq but too many ads to watch this. Oh well

[@1Cardavian]

My only question for Marbury is being a diplomat perse in China, who can you love? what is the expectation since you are held in high esteem there. Are you expected to be single, marry Chinese and if so the drama of dating or even divorce, do you marry from home and if so would you still receive the love? Just thoughts

LOL, Boston was the best team in the NBA record wise from 2022 to 2024, they choked 1 finals against the Warriors, a Conference Finals against Miami and finally won the chip in 2024. They are ready to win at least 1 more, they're like the Pistons in 1989. They lost in 1987 and 1988 but win 1989 and 1990. Then the Bulls were ready for them, but that's another story.

Their time is valuable. Of course money is the driving factor. But yeah, they take it too far. Clearly he teamed up with cutt-throat businessmen, so he just shows up while they do what they do. But of course Shaq prolly signs off on everything so still accountable.
