Point guard Stephon Marbury, who signed with the Boston Celtics in the middle of last season, told the New York Post he'll be taking this basketball season off.
He played 24 games for the Celtics and saw action in 14 playoff games. The Celtics offered the veteran minimum to Marbury this off-season, but the former New York Knicks guard declined to re-sign.
"I'm resting, doing what Michael Jordan did, enjoy life, do things I haven't done in 16 years, keep building my empire," Marbury told The Post. "I wasn't going to Boston for that money. It was a prudent business decision to take off this year."
