Kevin Durant says Stephon Marbury deserves to be a Hall of Famer

Nets superstar Kevin Durant, a surefire Hall of Famer whenever he retires, is backing another former Nets star to join him in Springfield – though it doesn’t seem likely to happen.

Durant responded to a tweet asking people to name a player who should be in the Hall of Fame, and shared a photo of two-time NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury.

Marbury played 13 seasons in the NBA, including two full years in New Jersey after being traded from the Timberwolves in 1999. For his career, Marbury averaged 19.3 points and 7.6 assists per game. He then went on to have a very successful career in China, where he won three CBA titles with the Beijing Ducks.

Per Basketball Reference, Marbury has a Hall of Fame percentage of just 7 percent, ranking him behind more than 190 other players.
