According to an article of Xinhuanet, a total of six jerseys were displayed in the jersey exhibition zone, which included Timberwolves, Nets, Knicks and Beijing. The American basketball hotshot highlighted what the Beijing jersey means to him.

"That's in my heart. My Beijing jersey means more to me than any of them. I don't see that because of the championship, but just because I'm here at home and I've had a support system," said Marbury.

"All those places that I've played at is a preparation for me to come to Beijing. For me, my Beijing jersey will be the jersey that I will retire here in China," he added.

Marbury was named honorary citizen of Beijing for his undeniable popularity in his adoptive hometown. He has his own statue outside the team's home court, according to a Global Times report. He is expected to receive a Chinese "Green Card" granted by the City of Beijing.

Marbury was the 1996 NBA Draft 4^th over-all pick selected by the Milwaukee Bucks but was traded shortly to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He played college basketball with Georgia Institute of Technology.

He was a two-time NBA all-star, fitting in 2001 and 2003. In year 2000 and 2003, Marbury was a member of All-NBA Third Team. He was also included in the 1997 NBA All-Rookie First Team.
