Stephon Marbury joined the show after announcing that he is going to play in China. Marbury explained why he's doing it.
"I want to play basketball," Marbury said. "I want to get back into the game. I know I still can play."
Dan asked Marbury what he knows about China.
"I know that they love basketball and they're really excited about me coming," Marbury said.
Marbury said he'll only be gone for a month and a half, so he's not too worried.
Marbury also talked about his controversial YouTube videos. He said they were fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously. And he apologized for smoking marijuana on the videos. He said he doesn't smoke pot any more.
"There were things that I said that were true," Marbury said. "It wasn't like I was lying about anything. People couldn't distinguish what was entertainment and what wasn't. There were some situations that came about, people were looking at me like there was something wrong with me. I was like, 'if you think something is wrong with me ... that's what you're going to think.
Still, Marbury wants to be back in the NBA some day. "I'm good enough to be on an NBA team," Marbury said.
Marbury did say this was in part about marketing his shoe brand, Starbury. "It was an opportunity where I was able to allow the brand get bigger." |
