It apparently wasn’t enough for Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) star Stephon Marbury to be named one of Beijing’s 10 model citizens, or then to get his own stamp. Now Marbury has his own museum.
Opened on Monday, the 300-square-foot “House of Marbury” features photos of the Brooklyn native at different stages of his career and life, artifacts including jerseys, and a larger than life-size wax statue of our March cover model.
“#TheHouseofMarburyMuseum Jesus Did It PERIOD! #GodisGreat,” Marbury tweeted to celebrate the museum’s opening.
Marbury is now in what is likely to be his final season as a player with the Beijing Ducks, who have won the CBA championship three out of the last four years. The Ducks are looking to improve on their 13-7 record tonight, as they take on the Jiangsu Tongxi Monkey Kings at the MasterCard Center. Originally from New York, Marbury was just granted permanent residency in China, and expects to stay on to become a coach with the Ducks after he retires from active play.
The museum can be found at 18A Jianguomennei Dajie, on the ground floor of the China Post Philatelic Flagship Store.
