This only gets funnier after that infamous video interview.
Stephon shows kids the write stuff
Stephon Marbury’s first children’s book, “The Adventures of Young Starbury: Practice Makes Perfect,” is due out this month. Proceeds will go to Marbury’s $4 million pledge to the NYPD, FDNY, EMT and New York City Teachers’ Fund, made two weeks ago.
In the story, 9-year-old “Young Starbury” misses two crucial free throws that would have helped his team win its season opener. His older brother, Eric, advises him that the key to correcting his basketball imperfections is practicing. In the end, after endless hours of practice, Starbury, with his improved skills, receives the opportunity to beat that same team, and this time it’s for the championship.
We won’t spoil the ending.
The series of books, which Marshall Dean is assisting, is designed to promote life’s lessons to children. Marbury has been on a big push to promote reading in schools, donating $10,000 to the Brooklyn Public Library and making it mandatory for players at his annual summer basketball tournament in Coney Island to read three books and submit an essay.
