For a while, Marbury was heartbroken that he couldn't continue his NBA dreams and win another world championship, his NBA career was a bit of a rise and fall.
He had a good run with a few teams, being nominated for 2 NBA All-Star games, but in the end slipped off the platform of elite players in the league. But slowly, Stephon Marbury rose to a successful rebirth after taking his talents to China.
Just two years after joining the CBA, Stephon Marbury boosted his Beijing Ducks to a league championship. In his first season with the team, he lead the Ducks to a 13-game win streak, and eventually finished second in the regular season. The Beijing Ducks ultimately beat the the Guangdong Southern Tigers, 4-1 in the championship series for the title.
It's crazy to think that a 38 year old still bears the competitive nature that Marbury demonstrates.
He addressed the media saying, "This year, a lot of people criticized me, saying I was old, that I couldn't play anymore. But I turned all that into fuel." Also saying, "When we won the first championship, people said we couldn't get another. After the second, people said you guys can't repeat. Establishing a dynasty has always been my goal and my motivation. -ESPN
On Sunday, Marbury was able to achieve more greatness and reestablish himself as a great player, by winning the Beijing Ducks 3 overall and second consecutive championship.
An ecstatic Stephon Marbury took to twitter saying, "Jesus did it!! Back 2 Back championships! Keep talking behind my back and God gone keep blessing me in yo Face!"
