Stephon Marbury hasn’t changed since 1995. I mean, he’s put on some weight and ditched the corny haircut, but his ego was just as big then as it is now. Marbury is being interviewed after winning a New York City high school championship, and gives a typical Starbury answer to the question “Where do you rank yourself as far as city players right now?”
