In a surprising revelation, Stephon Marbury has said that he plans to play in Italy once his contract with the Knicks is up in two years.
“I’m not just thinking of doing it, I’m going to do it,” Marbury vowed yesterday. “My wife loved it there. It’s like a [David] Beckham thing.”
Marbury has told friends that he wants to take his affordable (cheap) sneakers global. Playing in Italy is certainly one way to do it.
I love the fact that Marbury compared himself to David Beckham. Only in his world does he mean the same thing to basketball as Beckham does to soccer. I wonder what color the sky is there…
