Stephon Marbury

I've always watched the NBA growing up.

Coming to Beijing, throughout all of what has happened and the success I have gained, I look at it as I was just fortunate and blessed.

My favorite point guard, growing up, was Magic Johnson. The reason why I say that is he was a winner, and he did everything in his power to make his teammates better. That's what the game is all about as a point guard.

I learned to treat everybody with respect. I've learned to be focused, be a professional person, the kind who is always an honor to be around.

I'm going to set up a foundation for the world. I'm going to take the money and start building cities all over the world. I'm a comet.

Going to a foreign country, winning championships, having a statue, getting a green card, the key to the city, a museum - that's not something I can say I could ever see happening.

Losing exposes character, and winning breeds it.

Playing basketball at MSG is a lot of fun when you are winning, but when you are not, it's not fun.

You've just got to win in China - that's it. Winning is like good deodorant. When you don't win, it's like you stink; you smell.

All those places that I've played at is a preparation for me to come to Beijing.

I grew up one of seven kids, and my mom couldn't afford to get us any of the $150 shoes.

The NBA and college are two totally different games.
