  • He Got Game is revered as a cult classic, but very few people know who inspired the incredible Spike Lee film, and it was none other than Coney Island's own Stephon Marbury. His NYC origins story is something movies are made of. #stephonmarbury #spikelee

    When he said he can shoot from half court... he's not lying...i saw him play in high school & he was hitting from half court with ease... he also jumped higher than anyone I've ever seen shooting a jump shot... he was that dude in high school..definitely a complete point guard...

      We lost to them in the quarter final in 1994 John Jay vs Lincolnat LIU. We were up by 6 at half. He dropped 24 in second half and his first 2 half shot came from almost half court.

      Don’t forget Kobe turned the Jesus shuttersworth role, he’s from Philly and was in the same draft class as Marbury. All that realization of different possibilities of what it could be in one is a staple whether it was based off Marbury the origin came from same time he rose and many others into greatness or failed trying. You can’t buy that nor act out history that is meant to be with times. That was law among you can or can’t play in NBA or playground from around that 96 draft class and resonates with 2003 draft class after that idk where the league went now 🛰

    Marbury. Melo. Mero. 🔥
    “Hood” stories are the best for those that can relate. Not necessarily the trauma~ the violence. But the cleaning up the nice story …. My pops was a big dude, mean Mofo, not scared of nothing, one of the illest good stories, my pops was cooking breakfast for the family one Sunday morning, rare for us, especially me, cause although my pops lived there he wasn’t there, iykyk … but this time a mouse jumped from behind the stove at the wrong time,
    Pops, slapped him to the floor with his slippers and stomped the mouse to death with his bare foot,…
    I was young AF looking 👀 at squirming at every stomp…
    My pops looked at me ~ “Get the mouse up boy, TF you squirming for it’s a fucking mouse.
    He said fuck it, pulled me from the table and made me pick it up by the tail, that went stiff after he crushed it under his 6’3 260 frame.
    I felt that Mouse story on another level.
