Stephon Marbury’s Early NBA Leap
from College Basketball News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Stephon Marbury shocked the basketball world in 1996 by declaring for the NBA draft after just one year at Georgia Tech—before the “one-and-done” era even existed. Confident he was ready, he boldly predicted he’d be a top-five pick, and he delivered, going fourth overall. A high school phenom who averaged 27 points a game and trained relentlessly alone, Marbury proved his readiness with All-American honors and a deep NCAA run. He later teamed up with Kevin Garnett in Minnesota, went on to become a two-time All-Star, and built a 13-year NBA career—paving his own path long before it became the norm.
