Five Timberwolves who should be Hall-of-Famers (kind of)

Stephon Marbury

Marbury was drafted by the Bucks in 1996 and traded to the Wolves on draft night for Ray Allen. Maybe not a good deal for the Timberwolves in the long run, but make no mistake, Starbury could hoop.

I don’t remember Marbury on the Wolves because I was only three years old when he got traded. I do, however, remember him on the Suns, Knicks, and Celtics.

He had flash, he had the tough Brooklyn attitude, and he was one of the most iconic early 2000’s players out there. Eventually, he had his own shoe line, the Starburys. The shoes said street ball all over them.

Marbury averaged 19.3 points and 7.6 assists per game over a 15-season career. While with the Timberwolves, he averaged 16.9 points and 8.3 assists a game. He was with the Timberwolves for his first two-and-a-half seasons, so those numbers are pretty impressive for his age at the time.

He calls China home these days, playing for the Beijing Ducks. Sure, Marbury came off as a tough street ball guy, but has a soft spot, donating millions to communities in New York and Beijing.

In my eyes, he’s too iconic to leave out of this Hall of Ffame talk.
