Stephon Marbury might not be that crazy after all.
After 13 years in the NBA, Marbury seems to be basking in the glow this season playing for the Beijing Ducks in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Stephon Marbury Does His Own Laundry In China
The Wall Street Journal visited Stephon Marbury in Beijing, where he's still playing ball for the CBA's undefeated Beijing Ducks and basking in the "serenity and peace of the country."

Report: Eddy Curry to Sign with the Miami Heat
I really want the Heat to sign Stephon Marbury then we could really have some fun this year. Basically the Heat are going to bring in any tall player available and use them as a goon.
