If you still have a pair of old Starbury shoes, it's time to bust them out.
Ex-NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury led his Beijing Ducks to a second-consecutive Chinese Basketball Association championship on Sunday, the team's third in four years. He averaged 29.7 points and 5.7 assists in the best-of-seven series, which the Ducks won, 4-2. Marbury was named the finals MVP.

"This year, a lot of people criticized me, saying I was old, that I couldn't play anymore. But I turned all that into fuel," said Marbury, who struggled during the season with a knee injury.
"When we won the first championship, people said we couldn't get another. After the second, people said you guys can't repeat. Establishing a dynasty has always been my goal and my motivation."
Marbury was a first-round pick in 1996 after a great college career at Georgia Tech. He was selected to two All-Star teams during his 15 NBA seasons in which he averaged 19.3 points per game. His post-NBA career has gone well, too, and he's now a beloved legend in China.
Sunday morning, Marbury took to Twitter to celebrate Beijing's championship.
