Stephon Xavier Marbury is an American former professional basketball player and coach. A point guard, Marbury played college basketball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for one season. He was selected as the fourth overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks; shortly thereafter, he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. A two-time NBA All-Star and two-time member of the All-NBA Team, Marbury played for five teams in a 13-year NBA career that ended in 2009. He then played in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) until his retirement in 2018. During his time in the CBA, Marbury won three CBA championships, was named Finals MVP in 2015, and made three CBA All-Star Games. He also served as head coach of the Beijing Royal Fighters from 2019 to 2023.

Starbury Foundation — affordable athletic wear for underprivileged youth
Youth basketball development in Brooklyn and Beijing
Alam Mo Ba?
Marbury grew up in Coney Island, Brooklyn — one of American basketball's most mythologized neighborhoods, which has produced dozens of NBA players and is the subject of the documentary 'Coney Island' that helped launch his legend.
His Starbury sneaker line, launched in 2006 at just $14.98, was a revolutionary act — a superstar athlete intentionally pricing his shoes for working-class families at a time when basketball shoes cost $100+.
After his NBA career ended in controversy, Marbury moved to Beijing and became a cultural icon in China, earning a bronze statue in his likeness near the arena where he led the Beijing Ducks to multiple championships.
His oldest brother Eric Marbury played in the NBA briefly, and all four Marbury brothers played college basketball — making the Marburys one of the most basketball-accomplished families from New York City.
