Stephon Marbury beat everyone to his first interview, posting on his website a video interview in which he said goodbye to New York Knicks fans and expressed excitement about joining the Boston Celtics.
“I’m so excited about this opportunity to be able to go play for the world champs,” Marubury said while wearing a Celtics tee-shirt in an exclusive video on his website. “My mother always said, she always said, ‘Stephon it’s one thing when you want to go some place, but it’s another thing when somebody wants you. When somebody wants you, that’s the best thing in the world.’ Now with me leaving New York and going to Boston and knowing that they want me to come there and play basketball, it’s a beautiful thing.”
He described the upcoming run with the Celtics as a rollercoaster ride that will be fun, and he added that he knows fans in Boston are ready for another championship. Marbury also said his motive has always been to win a championship.
He ended the video by wishing the Knicks well and saying, “Boston here I come. I can’t wait to play. Peace.”
