i can't lie Marbury was one of the best PG in the league in his prime. i still hate him though. if he made better decisions he could of been one of the best to play.
In my opinion, Marbury by far has the best body and skills combined for a PG, he is unbelievably strong and athletic, has one of the best ball handling skills in NBA HISTORY, able to score easily inside and outside, he just matured so late in his career, what a pity. If I play NBA 2K for all time NBA draft and I need a PG, I'll go Marbury in front of Magic, Zeke, AI, CP3, Rose, Westbook, Curry and everybody else.
Contrary to popular and rather ignorant belief, Stephon was never a ballhog. He averaged 8-9 assists per game. He led the league in assists one year I believe. The guy had a lot of talent. Quite frankly, I don't know how Marbury ended up in the situation he's in right now. People say attitude, but attitude in the NBA doesn't usually result in this. O_O
Marbury indeed led the NBA in total assists one year (719 in '03-'04), although he never led in assists per game or averaged as many as 9.0 assists per contest over the course of a season (he reached 8.9 twice). Certainly, he constituted a good passer with above-average set-up skills and court awareness. On the other hand, Marbury's assist averages can also be explained to a certain extent by him dominating the ball on a bunch of mediocre rosters that he generally could not elevate.
Terry S but I heard on the draft they could have took Marbury one and he was in the debate when they found out Philly was taking a PG and then camby was suppose to go to 2-3 and he was the best player to many as he was a Player of the year and cal said he should be one and mock draft had the same order iverson camby and Rahim tho
The irony is that even Marbury constituted a significantly better passer than Westbrook. Westbrook is probably even more athletic, though. But, yeah, there numbers are pretty similar.
It's funny...I bet Marbury don't even think about this point back then in his life these days. Reminds me of the interview with Wu-tang at the end of the track of their first major hit "C.R.E.A.M." when they were talkin about not sellin out to doing RnB/rap colabs and keepin the Wu brand alive and in the "family" forever for their children and shit. That was '93....look at em now. Starbury's become a straight bastard.
20 long years, he said ima put a smile on my Mom's face..nobody's real like that anymore..
Classic moment in nba draft history!!
I remember watching this as a kid

LOOK AT MY BOY STEPH!
Greatest Coach Killer of all time
Gotta' love all of his "hangers on" congratulating him when he's drafted. All 20 people with him at the draft think they hit the lottery. lol
nigga stfu those ppl were all his IMMEDIATE family u dumbass
Ummm...his parents and his brothers?
After watching this, that’s the first thing that comes to mind?
I made the same comment. They all had their hand out.
@@davidbuchanan3738 Yeah because they had their hand out. If he didn't pay for them they would of been haters.
Picks No. 11 & 12 of this draft were busts, they were Todd Fuller and Vitaly Potapenko.
Great Moment
so true I like his game, but he has not lived up to the expectations that was expected of him since he's entered the league.
20 years
marbury had the skills to be one of the best PG of all time, it's just his atitude stinks.
I wonder how many people at that table had their hands held out after the check cleared. The ones that didn't were true family.
he meant New York is known for leaders, politics, and big time point guards.
When Marbury was in his prime, the point guard position was in a weak phase.
What????The phenom Penny, Tim Hardaway, Gary Payton, KJ, Stockton, J Kidd, Mark Jackson and a very under rated Mark Price.
11yrs later and this comment bs
glad we traded him for ray but not glad we traded ray
Stephon was in the trade for Kidd when Kidd was getting charged with domestic assault. Stephon then got traded by the Suns because of his DUI.
potapenko was not really a bust.
the guy lasted long enough in the league and is pretty much what you can ask for from that draft position.
"New York has leaders, politics [has] point guards"? I think that Sager bungled that one.
this guy could just have chill with KG and won some ring.. but he got smart and wanted out...
Wasn’t he suppose to be the first pick
Terry S but I heard on the draft they could have took Marbury one and he was in the debate when they found out Philly was taking a PG and then camby was suppose to go to 2-3 and he was the best player to many as he was a Player of the year and cal said he should be one and mock draft had the same order iverson camby and Rahim tho
that guy had problems back then too, see how he is crying, wtf, didnt he know he was gonna get picked?
LOOKS LIKE TOO SHORT THE RAPPER

But, yeah, there numbers are pretty similar.
Just check out old footage of Marbury shooting a 3. He probably jumped 30 inches off the ground. He's so under rated to me.
you are one funny dude lol.
westbrook's idol lmao............
Biskis
dont take up for bums its a bad look fam
not one of the better PGS in the league
It's funny...I bet Marbury don't even think about this point back then in his life these days.

Starbury's become a straight bastard.
