Stephon Marbury is one of the biggest basketball stars in China right now, but he’s ready to come home.

It certainly will be an uphill battle for “Starbury,” as he’s 40 years old and has been out of the NBA for seven years. The last time he played stateside was for the Boston Celtics in 2009.
But who knows? His hometown New York Knicks haven’t been doing so hot recently, so maybe they’d be interested in a reunion.
