Stephon Marbury on the 1998 Timberwolves

Starbury Marbury joins the show to dive deep into his last season in Minnesota. When we talk about 90s and 2000s What Ifs, the scenario of Marbury and KG sticking together into the 2000’s has to be discussed. At 20 and 21 years old, Marbury and KG led Minnesota to 45 wins and barely lose in the first round to a 61-win Sonics squad.

In his second season, Marbury became the youngest player ever to average 17 PPG and 8 APG in a season, breaking Magic Johnson's record. After this season, Steph requests a trade and land in New Jersey. Over the next decade, neither KG or Marbury saw a ton of success, leaving fans questioning why the promising duo split.
