Stephon Marbury’s turbulent decade in the N.B.A. was marked by public feuds and lackluster teams, but in recent years he has found a better basketball life in China, where he has led the Beijing Ducks to two national championships.
The mutual love affair between Marbury, 37, and his adopted home of Beijing will reach a new milestone this fall when “I Am Stephon Marbury,” a musical about his life in China, opens in the capital with Marbury on stage, playing himself.
The notion of Marbury as the centerpiece of an admiring theatrical production is likely to lead to some snickering in New York, where fans have few fond memories of his tenure as a Knick. Then again, Broadway is a long way from Beijing, so what New Yorkers think of all this doesn’t really matter.
The show’s website declares “I Am Stephon Marbury’’ to be “China’s first fusion of sports, music, dance and multimedia for a sports-themed youth theater event.” It plans to feature the Chinese Basketball Association’s top cheerleading squad and performers trained to do various basketball tricks. According to the website, other celebrities will make surprise appearances on stage, including Yao Ming, who once starred with the Houston Rockets.
