Stephon Marbury Has His Face On Postage Stamps in China

Stephon Marbury keeps winning in Beijing. Fresh off winning his third championship in the Chinese Basketball Association, Marbury was honored with a postage stamp in a ceremony at the National Museum of China on Saturday.

The 38-year-old left the NBA in 2010 and reinvented himself in China, where he was named one of its 10 “model citizens” in 2014.

Stephon Marbury has a statue in front of the arena, a play based on his life, three Chinese Basketball Association titles and now will have a postage stamp named in his honor in a ceremony Saturday in Beijing, according to the former Knick.

 

“It’s starting to take on a life of its own,’’ Marbury told The Post on Friday.

 

“I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that people will be able to buy a stamp of me to mail packages anywhere in the world,’’ said Marbury, who plans to give a speech at the National Museum of China in Beijing. “I am truly humbled. Never did I imagine in all of my 38 years of living that I — a kid who grew up 7,000 miles away from Beijing and a kid who came from the projects of Coney Island — would have a stamp of myself. I can never have dreamed it.”
