Stephon Marbury is a happy guy right about now. Despite getting blacklisted from the NBA years ago, the former All-Star is still doing his thing on the court. Playing for Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball League, Marbury won his second league title.Â

I really wanted to make fun of him for this. Then I realized that it was possible to be a nice guy for a second. You have to give credit to Marbury for continuing to chase his passion and his dream, even if it is in China against less-than-stellar competition. Any time someone is willing to do that without the bright lights of the NBA, it should be commended.
It also beats the heck out of this situation from just a couple months ago. Winning a title sure does win the day over being locked out of the gym.
