What about Stephon Marbury is similar to Kyrie? Other than both being NBA guards.

Starbury is one of the nicest people that did more to help people than most NBA players ever have. Be careful how you proceed.

I'm still looking for the original Starbury's size 9 if anyone knows where I can find them - thanks

You will never convince me that Marbury wasn't blackballed by the NBA because he went against Big Shoe.

I used to have Starbury shoes and a silver blue Starbury Jacket in Middle School. Those were good days.
Sam Hinkie gets removed from the league for enacting a plan approved by the fanbase yet NIco Harrison and Patrick Dumont keep their job for alienating their fanbase. Make it make sense.

I'm not one of those old guys yell at the sky, bit I love that era of ballers way more compared to this era. Marbury Steve Franchise BD, all those guys have reps similar to some of their counterparts from this era, but man I enjoyed those guys n times way more

Flashy prima Donna point guards with a lack of self awareness.

Apparently eating small quantities of vaseline is harmless and can be a treatment for constipation.

In a weird, sad way, he was just way ahead of his time.
If he was balling today and doing this he'd be a tik tok star :lol:

Kyrie is infinitely better and more skilled than Marbury.

Marbury created a line of affordable shoes so people that are less fortunate can afford them. What has Kyrie done?

This could be true, but as a basketball player with real potential to be a great player, he sucked.

If serious, check eBay. I just did a quick search, tons of 8.5 and 9.5, a more limited selection on the size 9s but still some.
