Stephon Marbury Is Done

Former NBA guard, Stephon Marbury will not play this season. The reason that Marbury cites is that he has businesses to tend:

“Although Stephon Marbury says he’s not ready to announce his retirement, the for Knicks guard said yesterday he has “shut everything down,” taking the season off to work on his businesses and claims he will return to the NBA next season.

Marbury also could not keep himself from ripping his hometown team and coach Mike D’Antoni for their poor preseason play, calling them “a mess.”"

The Boston Celtics did offer Marbury 1.3 million for his services this season. That was refused. After placing disturbing, often incoherent video posts online and after slamming his former team, it is highly unlikely that any franchise would take a chance on Stephon Marbury. He may consider this as a business sabbatical. However, it is likely the end of his NBA career.
