I remember watching Stephon play in high school at Lincoln. It seemed like as soon as he crossed mid court he was in range. Marbury would either pull up from deep, often times deeper than he's shooting from here, or he'd zing a pass into the paint for an easy shot by one of his teammates. He's as good a point guard as I've ever seen in high school and he was great in college too.
He wasn’t bad in the nba either. Career 19 pts and 8 assists per game. Just misunderstood. He was ahead of his time. He would’ve been a killer in this day and age of the scoring/creating point guards. He just ran into idiot coaches who didn’t understand how to use him and wanted to build their teams around post men. He needed an attitude adjustment when he was younger. He was just a teenager playing in Minnesota a long way from home and family. Teams know better today how to deal with young superstars.
When Marbury was with the NJ Nets, my nephew was a boy and he lived a short distance from the Nets Arena. Since the Nets played in the shadow of the Knicks, the arena was often only about 30% attendance. So the organization would have student specials, often the tickets were about 3$ a ticket. I would pick up my nephew and a bunch of the neighborhood boys who asked to go, and we saw Marbury often. As best i can remember, Marbury was the most talented, athletic basketball player i ever saw live. Dr. J is my favorite, yet i never saw him live. Marbury was a joy to watch. It was an interesting team also, they could have built a perpetual contender: Kittles, VanHorn, Williams, Feik... Then came Kenyon Martin. I saw some games when they gave a glimpse of solid possibilities. It was fun. Your favorite player was exceptional.
One of my two favorite players of all time..coming up I tried to emulate his game when I was playing basketball. Watching his game was a thing of beauty he averaged 20 pts 8 assists for his career
@@1ksprite963 he was cool but I see a lot of the older they get, the better they was narrative being pushed. 4x all star. Once CP3, nash, parker, D will. Kidd were rolling it was over for him
Just so the younger generation understands how good he was he averaged 19 points and 9 dimes for his entire career. Out of current and active NBA PGs that are putting up those kinds of stats, it's only CP3.
The most under appreciated point guard of his generation
Andre Miller would like a word with you, sir!
Bobby jackson Minnesota gophers
Amen
True
stephon sure got up high on his jump shots!
I always love the chemistry between Marbury and Barry. That was a backcourt that gelled from day one.
Me too. Shame we only got one season of it. I loved them together
I appreciate you for putting this on CZcams. Stephon is one of my all time favorite players
Lolololol...
The ACC wasn't ready for that Coney Isl shi💪🏾💪🏾🚀
Kenny Anderson, Stephon Marbury, Travis Best. GTech has been blessed with some great guards.
Don't forget Mark Price and Jarrett Jack, both who had successful NBA careers.

He was always head and shoulders better then everyone else. His older brothers was nice also

@@tedjordan7567 Agreed
@@tedjordan7567 It was nice to see that his career in China was overall so positive.
I think Steph is my fav pg of all time. Always an Iverson, Francis, Baron, White Chocolate...but I think as i'm older I appreciate Steph more.
He was NBA ready from jump
Then how come this nigga ain't in the hall of fame then?
