“I sent Adam Silver an email March 8. I said in the email, ‘You guys got to stop.’ I said, ‘This is not good. You got, like, 17,000, 18,000 people going to games and people don’t know if they’re infected or not. This could happen. One of the basketball players can get infected. Anything can happen,’” Marbury said.
“He was like, ‘Stephon, thank you for so much for sending me this email,’” Marbury said.
“My concern is for everybody,” he continued. “It’s bigger than basketball. You got guys getting sick and they can’t play. I mean, what’s the use? There is no point or no purpose. I think that it’s going to be a really big challenge for the [NBA] season to get going this year.”
He should have listened to Starbury.
Marbury played in the NBA for 13 seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, New Jersey Nets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics. He played in China from 2009 to 2013 before becoming a head coach in the same professional basketball league.
