    Well, Marbuy finally found a place where he is liked/loved. Good for him.

    Good for him. He's turned it around, altho it took him years. I hope he retires a Rocket.

    Wait, what?


    Anyways, I watched his video of going to work in China and stuff. Culture shock is a big deal, especially if it's apparent as a black man going to China. Different foods, attitudes, beliefs...he managed to turn it all around while playing basketball, it's pretty impressive.

    He brings one championship to the city, and they erect a statue of him?

    He was ineligible for the MVP award honor because of a CBA rule that a foreign born player cant win it, so they honored him with a bronze statue.

    Maybe he can coach Tracy next year and teach him how to be a winner.

    I met Marbury in Paris a few years ago. He was a really nice guy. He and Boris Diaw were at a cafe

    You know, people change.

    One of my favorite sayings: "It is not about how you start, it is how you finish it."

    What if you finish rather quickly... like within 3 minutes? Is that still OK? But it's 3 intense minutes.

    Did he bring his own vaseline or did the restaurant accommodate him?
