Episode Details

On this day in 2009, the Boston Celtics signed Stephon Marbury, a Brooklyn native, after his release from the New York Knicks. Despite his impressive career averages, Marburys time in Boston was brief, with a significant drop in his performance. He played 23 regular season games, averaging 3.8 points and 3.3 assists, and appeared in 14 playoff games as the Celtics lost to Orlando. The next season, Boston offered him the veteran minimum, but Marbury declined. Instead, he pursued a successful career in the Chinese Basketball Association. Interestingly, on the same date in 1959, Bob Cousy set an NBA record with 28 assists in a game, a mark later surpassed by Scott Skiles.
