Marbury’s ready for one last fling with the big boys

AT 40 years old, Stephon Marbury shocked everyone by announcing he’s looking to return to the NBA for one last season. Marbury, of Coney Island, New York, is a two-time NBA All-Star but hasn’t played in the NBA since 2009. Instead, he found his way to China where he gained cult-status by helping the Beijing Ducks to three Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) titles. The city erected a statue of him after he led them to their first title. It even built a museum to honour him. Starsport’s KNG ZHE NG GUAN caught up with Marbury, who is in town with his new team – the Beijing Fly Dragons – for the Seri Mutiara Cup.
