Stephon Marbury Is Going to Star in a Play Called "I Was Marbury" in China

Who wants to buy tickets to a play starring Stephon Marbury?

It's been awhile since we've read any news about Stephon Marbury. The last time we heard from him, he was talking about possibly coaching the Chinese national team in the Olympics one day.

Before he gets into coaching, though, it sounds like Starbury is going to get into acting. He just agreed to playing a role in a play called I Was Marbury that is going to be about the championship-winning season that he enjoyed with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association back in 2011 and 2012. Unfortunately, Marbury won't play the lead in the play—it's reportedly going to focus more on people who have been inspired by Marbury's CBA career than Marbury himself—but he will appear in several scenes and, obviously, the entire play will be about him.

Is this a little bit strange? Uh, of course. But isn't everything about Marbury's life a little bit weird? The fact that he's become famous enough in China to warrant a play is weird!

But good for him. A few years ago, Marbury could have disappeared off our radar. But he's continued to prosper in China, and now, he's getting yet another opportunity to shine.
