Is it the shoes?

Stephon Marbury is not the money/ego-lusting basketball player we all thought he was.

"Stephon Marbury is now endorsing a sneaker that costs just $14.98, a pittance when compared with the often daunting prices that companies such as Nike and Reebok charge for their footwear."

He also plans on wearing the shoes during the season. Marbury will prove that if you wear $14.98 shoes or $300 shoes and if your team sucks, you'll still lose.
