The former two-time NBA All-Star also became an Honorary Citizen of China in 2014, and was reportedly issued a Permanent Residence Card recently. But the 38 year-old guard is more than just a player, he's also a bridge between Chinese and American culture and recently, he sat down with Wang Dong in Los Angeles to talk about his role as ambassador.
Stephon Marbury has become a local hero after helping Beijing lift the CBA championship trophy three times, but his life in the Chinese capital extends further than the basketball court. A Stage play based on his life is just one of them and the American is trying to do what he can to get fully involved with local culture.
